	Did you add it as a branch? I couldn't find it.

	Ack.

	Some teams are interested in use our infrastructure for a
long time, the mail-to-robot feature is missing and I think we
would be able to address that (probably in the next Extremadura
meeting), having a mbox for the robot, something like:

		mail-list at i18n.debian.net

	And it could take commands, of course, we are going to
need some SPAM protection and a white list to allow some people
to command the robot, but I think it can work.

	Ah, OK. Nice that we revive all the stuff, but as I saw
in your message, we should abide to the language team decision
regarding the threshold.

	Sorry, I think I wasn't clear.

	debian-l10n-portuguese is mainly used by pt_BR and we
don't share the list for a long time now. I just want to allow
Portuguese team to use the pt code. So, debian-l10n-portuguese
will use 'br' or 'pt-br', it is just a code change. We should
move the lists around to make some space for the European
Portuguese team inside the Debian infrastructure, it is a long
standing issue but I couldn't work to finish/move it.

	It is now configure. It uses rsnapshot, providing 12
hourly return points (every two hours), and also one for every
day of the week, one for every week of the month and one for
every month, pretty much like grandfather-father-son strategy.

		/mnt/extradisk00/backup

	We are backing up /home, /srv, /etc, /root and
/var/www/ddtp, let me know if we should add any other
directories.

	Right now it is generating the first base point so I
can schedule it for automatic backups between 1-3 in the
morning for the longer cycles.

	I think we should just revert the mail list name
change regarding the code used. :)
