Please find, for review, the debconf templates of mysql-dfsg-5.0. This review will last from Saturday, April 07, 2007 to Tuesday, April 17, 2007. Please send reviews as unified diffs (diff -u) against the original files. Comments about your proposed changes will be appreciated. Your review should be sent as an answer to this mail. When appropriate, I will send intermediate requests for review, with "[RFRn]" (n>=2) as a subject tag. When we will reach a consensus, I send a "Last Chance For Comments" mail with "[LCFC]" as a subject tag. Finally, the reviewed templates will be sent to the package maintainer as a bug report, and a mail will be sent to this list with "[BTS]" as a subject tag. Rationale: -General attempt to minimize too much "personal" messages. For instance, replacing "Do you want to foo" by "Really foo" -no exclamation mark which is usually considered to be the expression of feelings more than facts -mark untranslatable some stuff that should really be left untouched by translators -reword the postrm_remove_databases to make it more direct -remove a "we" in debian/control. 1st person should be prohibited from user interaction - s/mysql/MySQL in the package description. Yes, the DevRef suggests that packages descriptions should begin with a lowercase letter, but the first word here is the noun of the product, so we really should use the official spelling and case...even here, IMHO. --
