[Bug 1314402] Re: Please upload skype-translation to the archive

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Hmm.. Further testing made me discover a mistake.

For the dpkg-divert commands in the preinst and postrm scripts I
followed "man dpkg-divert". They were both run unconditionally.

However, when reinstalling one of the skype-translation-* binaries, I
noticed that the diversion was removed, since the dpkg-divert command in
the postrm of the overwritten package was run after the new install.

Not good.

Found the solution in this manual:
https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ap-pkg-diversions.html

So in the latest version there is a condition that controls when the
dpkg-divert command in a postrm script is run.

Title:
  Please upload skype-translation to the archive

Status in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The Skype client for Linux comes bundled with translations into a few
  languages, but most languages are missing. The skype-translation
  package makes the most complete translations at

  https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/skype-translation-
  project/resource/skype-linux/

  easily available to Ubuntu users.

  The proposed debian/copyright file is in a preliminary state at the
  moment; the wording I use claims that the translations are in public
  domain, since the site, where the translations have been uploaded,
  does not refer to a license. The only wording I have found that gives
  some kind of indication on the matter is at

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/skypeinyourlang/

  "This is a free repository for files that have been translated by
  volunteers so users can download and install them."

  I have talked with the project administrator Michael Bauer, and he has
  announced that they may state a free license on the site very soon. If
  that happens, debian/copyright should reasonably be changed
  accordningly.

  The package I request a review of is the utopic package at
