Bug#550036: jack-audio-connection-kit: [debconf_rewrite] Debconf templates review

[Jonathan Wiltshire]

Package: jack-audio-connection-kit
Version: N/A
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Debian maintainer,

On Sunday, July 26, 2009, I notified you of the beginning of a review process
concerning debconf templates for jack-audio-connection-kit.

The debian-l10n-english contributors have now reviewed these templates,
and the proposed changes are attached to this bug report.

Please review the suggested changes are suggested, and if you have any
objections, let me know in the next 3 days.

Please try to avoid uploading jack-audio-connection-kit with these changes right now.

The second phase of this process will begin on Saturday, October 10, 2009, when I will
coordinate updates to translations of debconf templates.

The existing translators will be notified of the changes: they will
receive an updated PO file for their language.

Simultaneously, a general call for new translations will be sent to
the debian-i18n mailing list.

Both these calls for translations will request updates to be sent as
individual bug reports. That will probably trigger a lot of bug
reports against your package, but these should be easier to deal with.

The call for translation updates and new translations will run until
Thursday, October 22, 2009. Please avoid uploading a package with fixed or changed
debconf templates and/or translation updates in the meantime. Of
course, other changes are safe.

On Friday, October 23, 2009, I will contact you again and will send a final patch
summarizing all the updates (changes to debconf templates,
updates to debconf translations and new debconf translations).

Again, thanks for your attention and cooperation.

-_Description: Do you want to enable realtime priorities in /etc/security/limits.d?
+_Description: Enable realtime process priority?
  If you want to run jackd with realtime priorities, the user starting jackd
- needs realtime permissions. This is usually accomplished by tweaking
- rtprio and memlock in /etc/security/limits.conf, either for a specific
- user or for the audio group in general.
+ needs realtime permissions. Accept this option to create the
+ file /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf, granting realtime
+ priority and memlock privileges to the audio group.
  .
- Raising memlock and rtprio limits may lead to complete system lock-ups due
- to highest scheduler priorities or denial of service attacks by requesting
+ Running jackd with realtime priority minimizes latency, but
+ may lead to complete system lock-ups by requesting
  all the available physical system memory, which is unacceptable in
  multi-user environments.
- .
- The Debian default is to DISABLE realtime priorities, however, if you
- intend to run jackd with very low latencies, enable this option in order to
- place the approriate settings in /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf.
