Glad to hear from you again!
Thanks to you and the team for this new-homepage effort.


I have just pushed an updated version of ../german/index.wml

However, I cannot build the corresponding html file with
"make index.de.html" as it used to work in the past.
make fails with

It's the same for Swedish or Spanish, so I think it not a error in my
german file.
On the other hand, looking at https://debian-newhomepage.larjona.net/index.es.html
your spanish version seems to build fine, when building the whole site, so
it's probably not a critical issue for now...

But I found out, that deleting the translation-check header line from my
file makes the build a success!
So maybe the "Could not get revision number" message from above is the point?
