Hi I seem to spend less than appropriate time for updating Russian translations, hence it would be a very good idea to find a new champion for Russian language team. I must note though that the mailman-ru mailing list is quite quiet and the only traffic there is spam :) Kind Regards, -- Misha

Supported languages in Debian pkg?
by Clytie Siddall 19 Sep '06

19 Sep '06

Hi everyone :) I've received the debconf update mail [1] for the file "mailman 1:2.1.8-3". Although my language is now supported in both stable [2] and trunk [3] Mailman, this template does not list my language in the fairly long list of supported languages. Does this mean that the Debian package is lagging behind current versions? I'm a bit disappointed, because I've looked forward to my community being able to use Mailman. from Clytie (vi-VN, Vietnamese free-software translation team / nhóm Việt hóa phần mềm tự do) http://groups-beta.google.com/group/vi-VN These notes are for translators who may not be used to the jargon: [1] (a) debconf - a configuration program for the Debian free-software operating system: its files are called "debconf templates". If you package software for Debian, you also create a debconf template to configure that software for that user's Debian system. (b) update mail - there are around 700 debconf templates, so monitoring a list of them, especially in a distributed system like Debian, is inefficient. Developers can register for these update mails, which notify the last translator when the file is updated, and send it to him/her for update. You send the updated file by reply. [2] stable - the newest released version of Mailman for general use [3] trunk - the newest developed version of Mailman, for testing use

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On behalf of the Mailman development team, I'm happy to announce the release of Mailman 2.1.9 release candidate 1. This is primarily a bug fix and security release, although it also contains two new languages: Arabic and Vietnamese. This version is not yet recommended for production environments, however testing and feedback is greatly encouraged. My plan is to release 2.1.9 final by 10-Sep-2006. A more detailed list of changes will be included in the final release announcement. Mailman 2.1.9rc1.tgz is available from SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=103 Translators: If you have any language updates you'd like to see in 2.1.9 final, please commit them now or send them to me.

It's great if we can get updates into 2.1.9, but don't worry, if you don't finish it in time please continue to send updates; we can always release a 2.1.10 at some point with language updates. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBRPs4GXEjvBPtnXfVAQKN6wP/TvzvCZ7HLnjr7jR8XrqGK75DLmG9BTXh 5yAAl16fTMHaLo8QMWBRldKk/cRqQxSbF3zvlcn180wEjR/kIbL5hSeYbl6saatf ibjPnCSzcRz4ciSKUkAUD1I3PGVRHPW5PoKR9XZhp1SEeuZC6KJlmiN4Jmh5IDeN cZr0fqAFg2U= =orZ+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

If we can get an update this week, I will make sure it gets into Mailman 2.1.9. If the translators need a few more days, I can let the release slip a little bit, but not much more than that. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBRPrrQHEjvBPtnXfVAQJ0hgP8CoDYj9nHam5CYL+hC3iI0DDQ0Qwop9Pv X4t+tuOIJHTi64M79yRX6UF2+lUKksdfQdW7Z5nB2wObSZ5uj79Hg2ZXTz4ow50e 5KWisk/sCYPu/UT8tEftZYTnvK0Yyol/AN77el00jmWySPOpJEe6Ida0b48Ovdzt Wf28/rBbSGk= =x+uZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
