arcboot-installer is no longer relevant for the bullseye release,
since it's mips arch, which is no release arch for bullseye (and this
is why I ignored that for months already), or did I miss something?
You're absolutely right; maybe we should retire this package from the
l10n machinery, so that it no longer shows up in translations.txt?
Will look into this.
The l10n-sync mechanism currently doesn't have an option to exclude specific packages from being processed: it simply acts on all po files it finds in ../packages/*/debian/po/ within the d-i tree.
So such exclude option could be added, or we just clean-up the tree a bit :-)
What about removing such unused packages from d-i?
A patch is attached, to remove the following from .mrconfig:
- arcboot-installer
- elilo-installer
- kbd-chooser
- lilo-installer
- partman-prep
- prep-installer
- quik-installer
- yaboot-installer
More possible candidates (not sure, if these are still in use; these
packages don't have any po files, so removing them is not to exclude
them from l10n machinery):
- desktop-chooser
- efi-reader
- mountmedia
- oldsys-preseed
- partconf
- usb-discover
Also, all such "deactivated" packages should most likely be moved into a subgroup named "attic" or similar, to demonstrate their status.
(The packages from the first group (those which are to be removed from the
l10n machinery) can of course moved to attic as well.)
I seem to lack permission for such moves, though.
Comments welcome!
Holger
