Hi all, the latest release of vorbis-tools was almost four years ago. Are there any plans to release a new version? I'm the German translator of vorbis-tools at translationsproject.org, and my translation resides there for more than three years. Recently I've updated it. Moreover, some more new and updated translations have arrived, so it would be worth to roll out a new version. Besides that, I've translated the included man pages, which are published through the man-pages-de project [1]. This is OK so far, but this project is purely Debian-based. This means, updates of the man pages to update the translations are fetched from packages in Debian Sid. No problem for now besides the fact that a man page could be in the system without the actual vorbis-tools package installed, due to the age of the upstream package most distributions ship the same version. Once vorbis-tools gets updated, it could happen that different Linux distributions ship different versions, and translations become partially outdated. That's why it would be better to maintain them upstream and provide the template through the TP. Shouldn't be that hard to implement po4a [2] for an appropriate workflow (which is used anyway for a lot of man page translation projects, like man-db and most of the Debian man pages). I could help out setting up this. Best Regards, Mario [1] https://alioth.debian.org/plugins/scmgit/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=manpages-de/manpages-de.git;a=tree [2] http://po4a.alioth.debian.org/
