Translation deadline and Review Package Build Request
The first phase of software translation for Fedora 12 has been completed on September 10th 2009. Unlike other earlier releases, for Fedora 12 the translators in FLP would be able to review and update these translations until 22nd September 2009. This has been made possible by the approval from FESCo to allow the FLP's request to be provided with test builds of the Fedora Packages[1].
FLSCo member Noriko Mizumoto and FLP Admin team member Ankit Patel are currently co-ordinating with the maintainers of 48 packages, for which rebuilds have been requested by the FLP[2]. Individual bugs have been filed for each of these packages along with instructions and tracked via a master tracker bug. As per the Fedora Schedule, the package builds are to be completed by 14th September 2009[3].
Freeze Break for imsettings
The maintainer of the imsettings package Akira Tagoh, requested[1] for a freeze break for the package to resolve a bug file against some of the strings in the .po file. The freeze break request was granted and the strings have been updated.
