=== Packagekit Translations for Fedora 11 ===


[[RichardHughes]], the maintainer of Packagekit announced that a new version of the package would be released in a couple of weeks and this version would be included in Fedora 11. He mentions that quite a few popular languages do not have complete translations at the moment. Translators can mail the packagekit mailing list for queries regarding translateable strings[4]. Meanwhile, it has been noticed that both the Gnome and Fedora Status pages do not contain updated translations statistics for this package[5].

=== Branching of Fedora Pacakges ===
The last date to sign the FPCA is June 17th 2011


[[AnkitPatel]] started a discussion about the availability of a branching process in the VCS for Fedora packages, to provide for backporting of translations[7]. MiloslavTrmac (Mirek) suggested submitting patches in bugzilla for such cases, as upstream packages generally do not branch out for versions in the distributions[8]. Linking up the translation interface with an automated bug sumission process was suggested by [[AsgeirFrimannsson]] as a possible solution[9]. Discussions still continue, listing merits and demerits of the possibility of large scale backporting via bugzilla and separation of the translations from the packages.
