That is good to hear. Probably po4a (which we use to manage translation) will then hide this from us. > > Regarding timing: > > Could you please remind me what are the freeze dates and restrictions that > affect the man-pages? https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2022/03/msg00008.html Essentially this means that starting 2023-03-07 would be the last date for an upload of manpages without asking for an exception (which probably would be granted). Also this plan is preliminary and so dates may shift. For manpages-l10n the same holds, and we do an update about ~ 1 week earlier and try to update the translations, so this would go 2023-02-23 (it takes 5 days to migrate from unstable to testing, maybe longer). But this is just a rough estimate and in the past documentation packages are allowed even later uploads *and* it is not unlikely that dates do actually shift (i.e. the freeze takes longer). > > There are quite a few fixes noted by the translators in the original > > man pages.

Thanks. I simply report all outstanding issues in 6.01. If you disagree with any suggested issue, that's perfectly fine, and if you tell us (i.e. reply to the mail telling me), then I remove that issue from the "open" list, so it won't be reported again. > You can omit Michael from CC if you want[2].

I'm not > sure how much time I'll be able to put in this, but I'll try. Ok, I try to report them tomorrow, and most of them should be easy to fix (we try to explain the necessary fix). We are grateful for any fix, so don't worry if you cannot resolve them all, we are all volunteers. Just be aware that this will quite a few e-mails then.
