Re: CVS checkout command for the Debian Installer translations

>From memory:

cdebconf
languagechooser
countrychooser+iso-codes (in 2nd stage-->all countries names)
choose-mirror
ddetect
netcfg
partman
partman-basicfilesystems
partman-ext3
partman-auto
base-installer
grub-installer

With these, IIRC, you cover a default high prority i386 install

iso-codes is important because as soon as we will have an Arabic
translations for the iso_3166 file, we will have a "short" country
list after choosing Arabic at very first screen.

Countrychooser first display users all countries for which a valid
locale exists in the given language. 

For instance, for Arabic, you will have about 10 countries,
IIRC....indeed all those for which an ar_XX locale exists in Debian

Translating iso-3166 is quite boring because you have to translate 240
country names in your language, which may be tricky (and sometimes
highly politically difficult). I was lucky that French names are
normalized..:-)

After the above mentioned packages, I would mention:

base-config (2nd stage)
shadow debconf templates (2nd stage)

Then:

anna
main-menu
partman-*
all -installer packages (start with yaboot)
...all others..:-)


As you may see, what we call 2nd stage is sometimes artificial and not
always related to priority. I prefer having the shadow templates
translated (those asking for the root password) than the clumsy
netdevice templates (Ethernet cards for s390).
