Dear Debian I18N people, A bit of a special-case call for dpkg-cross. I would like to know if some of you would be interested in translating dpkg-cross. I am about to make the final upload of dpkg-cross for Debian Lenny, including the Russian translation. This is the last chance to add a new translation for the dpkg-cross debconf messages - quite likely the last chance *ever*. dpkg-cross will disappear from Debian before the next stable release (quite possibly within weeks of the Lenny release) as it gets merged into dpkg itself. The debconf messages for dpkg-cross may disappear completely at that time, or be merged into a different package. Therefore, this call is *only* for Lenny. ANY TRANSLATIONS SUBMITTED AFTER THE DEADLINE WILL HAVE TO BE IGNORED. Bugs filed after the deadline will be closed wont-fix, principally because once Lenny is released, the dpkg-cross codebase will merge into dpkg and the old dpkg-cross package will morph into a transitional package that contains no files and can act as a "test package" for my work on converting debconf messages to TDeb support. Note that dpkg-cross is continuing to be developed within Emdebian and the translation updates will be uploaded as version 2.3.0.1 in Debian. (Emdebian currently has 2.3.3 which includes the Russian translation.) If you submit your new translation as a wishlist bug, please ensure you are reporting the bug against dpkg-cross 2.3.0 - the version in Debian sid and lenny.(Continue reading)
