I generally agree with this. I'm not sure about the state of the
other translation projects, but it seems like the French guys are very
close to the English versions. It's not a bad idea to have some time
that translators can play 'catch up' with the repository.
Bearing in mind that this is an article that is very close to our
current 'average' as far as article line count is concerned:
$ cd /a/freebsd/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles
$ wc -l */article.sgml | grep -v total | \
awk -v total=0 -v count=0 \
'{ total+= $1 ; count++; }
END { printf "%d files. total: %d, average: %d\n",
count, total, total / count}'
38 files. total: 39152, average: 1030
$ wc -l /a/work/scratch/article.sgml
1095 /a/work/scratch/article.sgml
I don't have any strong preferences regarding the time of the commit.
If (other) translators think that now is the time we need to stop
adding new things to the docs until after 4.8-R is out, then that's
fine with me :)
If, on the other hand, it's not really very very bad to commit new
articles or sections to a book now, I'd prefer it go in. This way
translators that want to catch up and have the time to do so during
the next days/weeks until 4.8-R is cut will have an easy way of
grabbing the article from the repository.
