Hi again Tobias,
I plan to work on the Debian FAQ at
https://wiki.debian.org/BSP/2019/01/nl/Venlo .
That'll happen 3 days from now.
However, IIRC currently
the FAQ is next to ready for upload. I will likely _not_ work on it
before the BSP. So: any action from your side is very welcome now.
great to hear, thanks! I did go ahead and fixed another (not reported)
FTBFS bug in the package, due to the switch of Chinese from sgml
translations to po4a translations.
I also did some minor cleanups and then prepared a new release. I hope I
did not mess up, but I thought that fixing the FTBFS bugs now would be a
good idea, because the freeze is not too far away.
Just had a very quick look at your work, it looks good, thanks.
convert from SGML to DocBook XML. As I wrote there, that can wait till
after upload. But _not_ till the buster freeze, I'd say...
Well, that's probably quite a bit of work. If you don't mind, I could
look after some of the easier to fix bugs in the Debian BTS and try to
close them before the conversion.
Sure, go ahead. An upload by you would be appreciated too. :)
Saw you've uploaded "byhand: 9.0" on november 17, great! Upload is now
displayed at https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html.

I'll keep an eye on the progress of the NEW queue handling and plan to work on
the SGML-XML conversion.

I feel we should try to get your 9.0 in Buster, if not a newer XML-ized upload.

Bye,

Joost


PS/note to self: Upload commit at
https://salsa.debian.org/ddp-team/debian-faq/commit/d3836d052e9309bf5fbf51ac60d15d637ac78952
.

If we want to have an XMLized FAQ in Buster, we likely should do that work and
upload before the Soft-freeze at february 12th.

(* 2019-01-12 - Transition freeze (day after tomorrow)
* 2019-02-12 - Soft-freeze
* 2019-03-12 - Full-freeze

Hi,
the package "debian-faq" has been uploaded three months ago and contains
various important fixes. It's currently stuck in BYHAND.
Is there any chance that we can get this package into buster?
and feb 15 it got accepted in unstable, i expect it to enter buster/testing at
about feb 25th: in time for 2019-03-12 - Full-freeze.

Tobias: thanks a lot!

Bye,

Joost
