TDeb Specification
Chapter 11 - Timeline

11.1 Sequence

• Archive and tools support (Squeeze)

• Debconf translation will form the first TDebs (Squeeze + 1)

• Native packages with program translations next

• Non-native packages with Debian maintainers who are also the upstream

11.2 What needs to be done for Wheezy?

• tdeb binary file definition - (ratification and review)

• tdeb source file definition - (development and testing)

• dpkg class support - (make it easier to selectively install translations for specific locale roots).

• dpkg-source building support - (partially implemented in git)

• debhelper support for both tdebs explicitly, and also marking files into classes in general (partially implemented via dh_gentdeb in git)

• provide a patch to cdbs for running dh_gentdeb in the right place. (Done - only remains for the patch to be filed and applied, after Lenny).

• apt/aptitude support for pulling in and removing tdebs

• lintian support

• debdiff support

• devscripts support (debc)

• dak support (run away, run away) run faster

• support for packages using non-gettext translations. Packages using non-gettext mechanisms include OOo, mozilla, Qt or Java properties, menus, desktop.)
