Yeah, this skipped our radar too. There are two types of language packs:

      * Delta language packs (contain only translations changed since
        the last full language pack, are automatically created on the
        weekly translations PPA)
      * Full language pack (contain all translations and need to be
        requested and generated manually)

Documentation updates are only contained in full language packs.

In the future, I think both teams (docs and translations) should try to
better coordinate SRU updates.

Here is our schedule:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/NattyLanguagePackReleaseSchedule
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/MaverickLanguagePackReleaseSchedule
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/LucidLanguagePackReleaseSchedule

We should probably post the announcements on the docs list too, and in
the same way, I think it'd be really useful if the docs team posts the
announcements on upcoming uploads on the translators list too.

I believe it being in natty-proposed should be enough for the language
packs to pick them up, but we'll double check. Thanks for the heads up.

Martin, I've included you on CC to see if you can answer this question.

In short, we've requested a full Natty language pack export that should
be available on Wednesday next week, and we'd like it to include the
contents of the gnome-user-docs package in natty-proposed.

Is it enough for it to be in -proposed for its translations to be picked
up by the full language pack?

Thanks.

Cheers,
David.
