Expect some other changes in *-installer packages. A new package named os-prober has been added to Debian Installer.
This package does not have strings by itself. This is a backend for detecting other operating systems and install appropriate entries in boot loaders config files.
I take this occasion for warning all translators that I'll be away for 3 days starting Monday 5th. I'll probably have net access but maybe few occasions for commiting.
So, make your possible for commiting yourselves. If needed, ask for help on debian-boot or #debian-boot on irc.debian.org. Those of you who don't have commit access to "d-i", "base-config" and "tasksel" projects on Alioth, ask me until Sunday night...or ask joeyh in #debian-boot.
And, btw, congratulations to the Indonesian team who bringed their state to 100% for the first time, to Andre Dahlqvist who did the same for Swedish and to Dark Trorrr who just sent me te first Galician translations.
Have a nice week-end.

I thought that someone told that we will use -i18n list for these purposes... am I right?
I know that this is very important to reach as many translators as possible, but I don't want private mails!
I have some SMS sending procmail scripts and daily limit for SMSes from net. So please do not send me private mails... I read l10n & i18n lists so I can check what's new there. I can also check it on seppy's webpage, so I really don't need any additional info.
In fact translators should be the most interested in these changes, and they should subscribe to proper mailing list. If they don't want to do that, then they probably don't care enough about d-i.
That's my 0.02$.
Of course you can always contact me... let's say if d-i is frozen and I have got only 10 houres for my updates. But not every time when stupid one fuzzy occures.

But in fact, I haven't subscribed to -i18n yet.

Well, wrong. Depends on the case. I know I should subscribe to -i18n, but I currently don't have enough time to process all the mail I get, so I don't want more. If I had to keep myself informed through -i18n about d-i updates, it'd mean getting extra mail unrelated to d-i translations, so what Christian is doing is very convenient for me. Thanks Christian. :)
Maybe making them a bit less often could be a compromise, like announcing freeze and release dates, but I personally have no problem with the current model.
