My understanding is that with the introduction of: X-Ubuntu-Use-Langpack: yes That you can set on a universe source package, the assumption that universe packages won't be in a langpack is no longer true. > There are probably very few, not installed by default applications > covered in documentation (although I expect Ubuntu One related > packages would likely be documented).

This was also what I thought and what I think we should do, it's easy enough to ack a UIFe if there's clearly no documentation being affected, much easier than having to either revert the change or update a set of screenshots anyway. > Scott K > - -- Stéphane Graber Ubuntu developer http://www.ubuntu.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJPT6muAAoJEMY4l01keS1ngfEP/17yeJ2Q6ZpoG9G3hgdsuGMj hEGZy0m87LQfBOOSr+9mHQHcMNK9XcoIMqsrUN5FnDorS8N6TmcysdmrauddTTri 0cFsfkjMNNytjHDCMOsRi3ZrR53yMQGsxOoyZViwmmLHhbscu24q4OZEl2nQAA2x pEPdMrEu2L2q2B0Oz6LmAYXjUdtbBAb1SEdNwYR5zULYhxe3GhFvftqNmotYqSRN je8OjFu4E9O+JJij2U4DVchs5jZDkeD780qQq0qJA89yW+bvkh2S9OU5Nflhhf/a Fi/akhkainPJBU4ELJGz8JqIZ0OroLv32NvYBrIo7N+GL/iRCmcdV2eZcjocxpJz Th9+DqFIKdUMyEGN5g8WJWQohDXifx3paolC5zbKfdAcqIgOvWCM1m2dGot43So4 wRCtmgDNcVrVWSknODLGtVC+pxgRAUtEerv/olwaDeMK9mk6veKX/qFWgx4QxYVI Hf0rX3K9SuwavhxqWWol3boCtW1v2EYvJ3KwjnWDppNuqIatQgNm6HLEdfEjy6uf MRq3UtRhAAbeOcpZyVJ0aH+P1wGfkV1pbkrjsWLXfK8eCFZfmMEQobLgtEZ+qBNo 5KBP5QJK7XYenuj9HCCLa029BhBq+/wHe1f1fD9d8MlZuqDTYjP/OnJipJK3vu4M /TWNZuP7Nycc1tTKhfwQ =Sae6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
