I guess people (the translators) are used to have down time on ddtss, just as they have now.

 Hi folks,
 
 I wonder why nobody has not complained yet about the
 hard-coded Churro 
 legacy.
 Up to now there are references to ddtp.debian.net in the
 DDTP/DDTSS code 
 with
 definitely three, perhaps up to five side effects:
 
   * Descriptions with prior translations such as (1)
 list
     "# other Descriptions of the syslinux package
 with a translation in de:"
     with references to ddtp.debian.net.
   * In (1) the "information about previous translation"
 form is empty.
   * The mail interface sends responses with links to
 ddtp.debian.net.
 
 There are two more issues that might by related, but are
 less obvious:
 
   * The translation statistics at (2) pretend that at
 present there are no
     active translations.
   * The generation of the Translation-xx files (eg at
 (3)) seems to be 
 broken
     with regard to retranslations. Commits via
 DDTSS/mail propagate to
     next day's Translation-xx, unchanged
 descriptions for new package
     versions do not. One example: tzdata. For some
 reason one gets an
     up to date (German) translation in the package
 search (4) and the
     DDTP database (5), but »grep 'Package:
 tzdata' Translation-de« on
     my local copy of Translation-de fails.
 
 Kind regards,
     Martin
