                <title>Debian APT upgrade without enough free space on the disk...</title>

                <pubDate>Sun, 8 Jul 2018 12:10:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Quite regularly, I let my Debian Sid/Unstable chroot stay untouch
for a while, and when I need to update it there is not enough free
space on the disk for apt to do a normal &#39;apt upgrade&#39;.  I normally
would resolve the issue by doing &#39;apt install &amp;lt;somepackages&amp;gt;&#39; to
upgrade only some of the packages in one batch, until the amount of
packages to download fall below the amount of free space available.
Today, I had about 500 packages to upgrade, and after a while I got
tired of trying to install chunks of packages manually.  I concluded
that I did not have the spare hours required to complete the task, and
decided to see if I could automate it.  I came up with this small
script which I call &#39;apt-in-chunks&#39;:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
#!/bin/sh
#
# Upgrade packages when the disk is too full to upgrade every
# upgradable package in one lump.  Fetching packages to upgrade using
# apt, and then installing using dpkg, to avoid changing the package
# flag for manual/automatic.

set -e

ignore() {
    if [ &quot;$1&quot; ]; then
        grep -v &quot;$1&quot;
    else
        cat
    fi
}

for p in $(apt list --upgradable | ignore &quot;$@&quot; |cut -d/ -f1 | grep -v &#39;^Listing...&#39;); do
    echo &quot;Upgrading $p&quot;
    apt clean
    apt install --download-only -y $p
    for f in /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb; do
        if [ -e &quot;$f&quot; ]; then
            dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
            break
        fi
    done
done
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The script will extract the list of packages to upgrade, try to
download the packages needed to upgrade one package, install the
downloaded packages using dpkg.  The idea is to upgrade packages
without changing the APT mark for the package (ie the one recording of
the package was manually requested or pulled in as a dependency).  To
use it, simply run it as root from the command line.  If it fail, try
&#39;apt install -f&#39; to clean up the mess and run the script again.  This
might happen if the new packages conflict with one of the old
packages.  dpkg is unable to remove, while apt can do this.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It take one option, a package to ignore in the list of packages to
upgrade.  The option to ignore a package is there to be able to skip
the packages that are simply too large to unpack.  Today this was
&#39;ghc&#39;, but I have run into other large packages causing similar
problems earlier (like TeX).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Update 2018-07-08: Thanks to Paul Wise, I am aware of two
alternative ways to handle this.  The &quot;unattended-upgrades
--minimal-upgrade-steps&quot; option will try to calculate upgrade sets for
each package to upgrade, and then upgrade them in order, smallest set
first.  It might be a better option than my above mentioned script.
Also, &quot;aptutude upgrade&quot; can upgrade single packages, thus avoiding
the need for using &quot;dpkg -i&quot; in the script above.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;So far, at least hydro-electric power, coal power, wind power,
solar power, and wood power are well known.  Until a few days ago, I
had never heard of stone power.  Then I learn about a quarry in a
mountain in
&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremanger&quot;&gt;Bremanger&lt;/a&gt; i
Norway, where
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bontrup.com/en/activities/raw-materials/bremanger-quarry/&quot;&gt;the
Bremanger Quarry&lt;/a&gt; company is extracting stone and dumping the stone
into a shaft leading to its shipping harbour.  This downward movement
in this shaft is used to produce electricity.  In short, it is using
falling rocks instead of falling water to produce electricity, and
according to its own statements it is producing more power than it is
using, and selling the surplus electricity to the Norwegian power
grid.  I find the concept truly amazing.  Is this the worlds only
stone power plant?&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>Add-on to control the projector from within Kodi</title>
                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Add_on_to_control_the_projector_from_within_Kodi.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Add_on_to_control_the_projector_from_within_Kodi.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Tue, 26 Jun 2018 23:55:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;My movie playing setup involve &lt;a href=&quot;https://kodi.tv/&quot;&gt;Kodi&lt;/a&gt;,
&lt;a href=&quot;https://openelec.tv&quot;&gt;OpenELEC&lt;/a&gt; (probably soon to be
replaced with &lt;a href=&quot;https://libreelec.tv/&quot;&gt;LibreELEC&lt;/a&gt;) and an
Infocus IN76 video projector.  My projector can be controlled via both
a infrared remote controller, and a RS-232 serial line.  The vendor of
my projector, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.infocus.com/&quot;&gt;InFocus&lt;/a&gt;, had been
sensible enough to document the serial protocol in its user manual, so
it is easily available, and I used it some years ago to write
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/petterreinholdtsen/infocus-projector-control&quot;&gt;a
small script to control the projector&lt;/a&gt;.  For a while now, I longed
for a setup where the projector was controlled by Kodi, for example in
such a way that when the screen saver went on, the projector was
turned off, and when the screen saver exited, the projector was turned
on again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A few days ago, with very good help from parts of my family, I
managed to find a Kodi Add-on for controlling a Epson projector, and
got in touch with its author to see if we could join forces and make a
Add-on with support for several projectors.  To my pleasure, he was
positive to the idea, and we set out to add InFocus support to his
add-on, and make the add-on suitable for the official Kodi add-on
repository.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Add-on is now working (for me, at least), with a few minor
adjustments.  The most important change I do relative to the master
branch in the github repository is embedding the
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial&quot;&gt;pyserial module&lt;/a&gt; in
the add-on.  The long term solution is to make a &quot;script&quot; type
pyserial module for Kodi, that can be pulled in as a dependency in
Kodi.  But until that in place, I embed it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The add-on can be configured to turn on the projector when Kodi
starts, off when Kodi stops as well as turn the projector off when the
screensaver start and on when the screesaver stops.  It can also be
told to set the projector source when turning on the projector.

&lt;p&gt;If this sound interesting to you, check out
&lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/fredrik-eriksson/kodi_projcontrol&quot;&gt;the
project github repository&lt;/a&gt;.  Perhaps you can send patches to
support your projector too?  As soon as we find time to wrap up the
latest changes, it should be available for easy installation using any
Kodi instance.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For future improvements, I would like to add projector model
detection and the ability to adjust the brightness level of the
projector from within Kodi.  We also need to figure out how to handle
the cooling period of the projector.  My projector refuses to turn on
for 60 seconds after it was turned off.  This is not handled well by
the add-on at the moment.&lt;/p&gt;

                <link>http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/youtube_dl_for_nedlasting_fra_NRK_med_undertekster___nice_free_software.html</link>
                <guid isPermaLink="true">http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/youtube_dl_for_nedlasting_fra_NRK_med_undertekster___nice_free_software.html</guid>
                <pubDate>Sat, 28 Apr 2018 10:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;I &lt;a href=&quot;https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHS&quot;&gt;VHS-kassettenes&lt;/a&gt;
tid var det rett frem å ta vare på et TV-program en ønsket å kunne se
senere, uten å være avhengig av at programmet ble sendt på nytt.
Kanskje ønsket en å se programmet på hytten der det ikke var
TV-signal, eller av andre grunner ha det tilgjengelig for fremtidig
fornøyelse.  Dette er blitt vanskeligere med introduksjon av
digital-TV og webstreaming, der opptak til harddisk er utenfor de
flestes kontroll hvis de bruker ufri programvare og bokser kontrollert
av andre.  Men for NRK her i Norge, finnes det heldigvis flere fri
programvare-alternativer, som jeg har
&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_enkelt_laste_ned_filmer_fra_NRK.html&quot;&gt;skrevet&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Hvordan_enkelt_laste_ned_filmer_fra_NRK_med_den__nye__l_sningen.html&quot;&gt;om&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Nedlasting_fra_NRK__som_Matroska_med_undertekster.html&quot;&gt;før&lt;/a&gt;.
Så lenge kilden for nedlastingen er lovlig lagt ut på nett (hvilket
jeg antar NRK gjør), så er slik lagring til privat bruk også lovlig i
Norge.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Sist jeg så på saken, i 2016, nevnte jeg at
&lt;a href=&quot;https://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/&quot;&gt;youtube-dl&lt;/a&gt; ikke kunne
bake undertekster fra NRK inn i videofilene, og at jeg derfor
foretrakk andre alternativer.  Nylig oppdaget jeg at dette har endret
seg.  Fordelen med youtube-dl er at den er tilgjengelig direkte fra
Linux-distribusjoner som &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt;
og &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ubuntu.com/&quot;&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt;, slik at en slipper å
finne ut selv hvordan en skal få dem til å virke.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For å laste ned et NRK-innslag med undertekster, og få den norske
underteksten pakket inn i videofilen, så kan følgende kommando
brukes:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
youtube-dl --write-sub --sub-format ttml \
  --convert-subtitles srt --embed-subs \
  https://tv.nrk.no/serie/ramm-ferdig-gaa/MUHU11000316/27-04-2018
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;URL-eksemplet er dagens toppsak på tv.nrk.no.  Resultatet er en
MP4-fil med filmen og undertekster som kan spilles av med VLC.  Merk
at VLC ikke viser frem undertekster før du aktiverer dem.  For å gjøre
det, høyreklikk med musa i fremviservinduet, velg menyvalget for
undertekst og så norsk språk.  Jeg testet også &#39;--write-auto-sub&#39;,
men det kommandolinjeargumentet ser ikke ut til å fungere, så jeg
endte opp med settet med argumentlisten over, som jeg fant i en
feilrapport i youtube-dl-prosjektets samling over feilrapporter.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Denne støtten i youtube-dl gjør det svært enkelt å lagre
NRK-innslag, det være seg nyheter, filmer, serier eller dokumentater,
for å ha dem tilgjengelig for fremtidig referanse og bruk, uavhengig
av hvor lenge innslagene ligger tilgjengelig hos NRK.  Så får det ikke
hjelpe at NRKs jurister mener at det er
&lt;a href=&quot;http://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Best___ikke_fortelle_noen_at_streaming_er_nedlasting___.html&quot;&gt;vesensforskjellig
å legge tilgjengelig for nedlasting og for streaming&lt;/a&gt;, når det rent
teknisk er samme sak.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Programmet youtube-dl støtter også en rekke andre nettsteder, se
prosjektoversikten for
&lt;a href=&quot;http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html&quot;&gt;en

melder i dag at flertallet i Familie- og kulturkomiteen på Stortinget
har bestemt seg for å introdusere en ny sensurinfrastruktur i Norge.
Fra før har Norge en «frivillig» sensurinfrastruktur basert på
DNS-navn, der de største ISP-ene basert på en liste med DNS-navn
forgifter DNS-svar og omdirigerer til et annet IP-nummer enn det som
ligger i DNS.  Nå kommer altså IP-basert omdirigering i tillegg.  Når
infrastrukturen er på plass, er sensur av IP-adresser redusert et
spørsmål om hvilke IP-nummer som skal blokkeres.  Listen over
IP-adresser vil naturligvis endre seg etter hvert som myndighetene
endrer seg.  Det er ingen betryggende tanke.&lt;/p&gt;

                <pubDate>Mon, 2 Apr 2018 13:30:00 +0200</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;Brevpost er beskyttet av straffelovens bestemmelse som gjør det
kriminelt å åpne andres brev.  Dette følger av (ny) straffelovs
&lt;a href=&quot;https://lovdata.no/dokument/NL/lov/2005-05-20-28/§205&quot;&gt;§ 205
(Krenkelse av retten til privat kommunikasjon)&lt;/a&gt;, som sier at «Med
bot eller fengsel inntil 2 år straffes den som uberettiget ...  c)
åpner brev eller annen lukket skriftlig meddelelse som er adressert
til en annen, eller på annen måte skaffer seg uberettiget tilgang til
innholdet.» Dette gjelder såvel postbud som alle andre som har
befatning med brevet etter at avsender har befatning med et lukket
brev. Tilsvarende står også tidligere utgaver av den norske
straffeloven.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Når en registrerer seg på usikre digitale postkasseløsningene, som
f.eks. Digipost og e-Boks, og slik tar disse i bruk, så gir en de som
står bak løsningene tillatelse til å åpne sine brev.  Dette er
nødvendig for at innholdet i digital post skal kunne vises frem til
mottaker via tjenestens websider.  Dermed gjelder ikke straffelovens
paragraf om forbud mot å åpne brev, da tilgangen ikke lenger er
uberettiget.  En gir altså fremmede tilgang til å lese sin
korrespondanse.  I tillegg vil bruk av slike usikre digitale
postbokser føre til at det blir registrert når du leser brevene, hvor
du befinner deg (vha. tilkoblingens IP-adresse), hvilket utstyr du
bruker og en rekke annen personlig informasjon som ikke er
tilgjengelig når papirpost brukes.  Jeg foretrekker at det er
lovmessig beskyttelse av min korrespondanse, som jo inneholder privat
og personlig informasjon.  Det bidrar til litt bedre vern av personlig
integritet i dagens norske samfunn.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;The leaders of the worlds have started to congratulate the
re-elected Russian head of state, and this causes some criticism.  I
am though a little fascinated by a comment from USA senator John McCain,
&lt;a href=&quot;http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/379339-mccain-rips-trumps-congratulatory-call-to-putin-as-insult-to-russian-people&quot;&gt;sited
by The Hill and others&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&quot;An American president does not lead the Free World by
congratulating dictators on winning sham elections.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While I totally agree with the senator here, the way the quote is
phrased make me suspect that he is unaware of the simple fact that USA
have not lead the Free World since at least before its government
&lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_Arar&quot;&gt;kidnapped a
completely innocent Canadian citizen in transit on his way home to
Canada via John F. Kennedy International Airport in September 2002 and
sent him to be tortured in Syria for a year&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;USA might be running ahead, but the path they are taking is not the
one taken by any Free World.&lt;/p&gt;

                <pubDate>Wed, 21 Mar 2018 16:30:00 +0100</pubDate>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;So, Cambridge Analytica is getting some well deserved criticism for
(mis)using information it got from Facebook about 50 million people,
mostly in the USA.  What I find a bit surprising, is how little
criticism Facebook is getting for handing the information over to
Cambridge Analytica and others in the first place.  And what about the
people handing their private and personal information to Facebook?
And last, but not least, what about the government offices who are
handing information about the visitors of their web pages to Facebook?
No-one who looked at the terms of use of Facebook should be surprised
that information about peoples interests, political views, personal
lifes and whereabouts would be sold by Facebook.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What I find to be the real scandal is the fact that Facebook is
selling your personal information, not that one of the buyers used it
in a way Facebook did not approve when exposed.  It is well known that
Facebook is selling out their users privacy, but a scandal
nevertheless.  Of course the information provided to them by Facebook
would be misused by one of the parties given access to personal
information about the millions of Facebook users.  Collected
information will be misused sooner or later.  The only way to avoid
such misuse, is to not collect the information in the first place.  If
you do not want Facebook to hand out information about yourself for
the use and misuse of its customers, do not give Facebook the
information.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Personally, I would recommend to completely remove your Facebook
account, and take back some control of your personal information.
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/mar/19/how-to-protect-your-facebook-privacy-or-delete-yourself-completely&quot;&gt;According
to The Guardian&lt;/a&gt;, it is a bit hard to find out how to request
account removal (and not just &#39;disabling&#39;).  You need to
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/help/224562897555674?helpref=faq_content&quot;&gt;visit
a specific Facebook page&lt;/a&gt; and click on &#39;let us know&#39; on that page
to get to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/help/delete_account&quot;&gt;the
real account deletion screen&lt;/a&gt;.  Perhaps something to consider?  I
would not trust the information to really be deleted (who knows,
perhaps NSA, GCHQ and FRA already got a copy), but it might reduce the
exposure a bit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to learn more about the capabilities of Cambridge
Analytica, I recommend to see the video recording of the one hour talk
Paul-Olivier Dehaye gave to &lt;a href=&quot;&quot;&gt;NUUG&lt;/a&gt; last april about
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nuug.no/aktiviteter/20170404-big-data-psychometric/&quot;&gt;
Data collection, psychometric profiling and their impact on
politics&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And if you want to communicate with your friends and loved ones,
use some end-to-end encrypted method like
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.signal.org/&quot;&gt;Signal&lt;/a&gt; or
&lt;a href=&quot;https://ring.cx/&quot;&gt;Ring&lt;/a&gt;, and stop sharing your private
messages with strangers like Facebook and Google.&lt;/p&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;I går kom det nok et argument for å holde seg unna det norske
helsevesenet.  Da annonserte et stortingsflertall, bestående av Høyre,
Arbeiderpartiet, Fremskrittspartiet og Venstre, at de går inn for å
samle inn og lagre DNA-prøver fra hele befolkningen i Norge til evig
tid.  Endringen gjelder innsamlede blodprøver fra nyfødte i Norge.
Det vil dermed ta litt tid før en har hele befolkningen, men det er
dit vi havner gitt nok tid.  I dag er det nesten hundre prosent
oppslutning om undersøkelsen som gjøres like etter fødselen, på
bakgrunn av blodprøven det er snakk om å lagre, for å oppdage endel
medfødte sykdommer.  Blodprøven lagres i dag i inntil seks år.
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Publikasjoner/Innstillinger/Stortinget/2017-2018/inns-201718-182l/?all=true&quot;&gt;Stortingets
flertallsinnstilling&lt;/a&gt; er at tidsbegrensingen skal fjernes, og mener
at tidsubegrenset lagring ikke vil påvirke oppslutningen om
undersøkelsen.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Datatilsynet har ikke akkurat applaudert forslaget:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;«Datatilsynet mener forslaget ikke i tilstrekkelig grad
  synliggjør hvilke etiske og personvernmessige utfordringer som må
  diskuteres før en etablerer en nasjonal biobank med blodprøver fra
  hele befolkningen.»&lt;/p&gt;
  
&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Det er flere historier om hvordan innsamlet biologisk materiale har
blitt brukt til andre formål enn de ble innsamlet til, og historien om
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.aftenposten.no/norge/i/Ql0WR/Na-ma-Folkehelsa-slette-uskyldiges-DNA-info&quot;&gt;folkehelseinstituttets
lagring på vegne av politiet (Kripos) av innsamlet biologisk materiale
og DNA-informasjon i strid med loven&lt;/a&gt; viser at en ikke kan være
trygg på at lover og intensjoner beskytter de som blir berørt mot
misbruk av slik privat og personlig informasjon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Det er verdt å merke seg at det kan forskes på de innsamlede
blodprøvene uten samtykke fra den det gjelder (eller foreldre når det
gjelder barn), etter en lovendring for en stund tilbake, med mindre
det er sendt inn skjema der en reserverer seg mot forskning uten
samtykke.  Skjemaet er tilgjengelig fra
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.fhi.no/arkiv/publikasjoner/for-pasienter-skjema-for-reservasjo/&quot;&gt;folkehelseinstituttets
websider&lt;/a&gt;, og jeg anbefaler, uavhengig av denne saken, varmt alle å
sende inn skjemaet for å dokumentere hvor mange som ikke synes det er
greit å fjerne krav om samtykke.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I tillegg bør en kreve destruering av alt biologisk materiale som
er samlet inn om en selv, for å redusere eventuelle negative
konsekvenser i fremtiden når materialet kommer på avveie eller blir
brukt uten samtykke, men det er så vidt jeg vet ikke noe system for
dette i dag.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>First rough draft Norwegian and Spanish edition of the book Made with Creative Commons</title>

                <description>&lt;p&gt;I am working on publishing yet another book related to Creative
Commons.  This time it is a book filled with interviews and histories
from those around the globe making a living using Creative
Commons.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, after many months of hard work by several volunteer
translators, the first draft of a Norwegian Bokmål edition of the book
&lt;a href=&quot;https://madewith.cc&quot;&gt;Made with Creative Commons from 2017&lt;/a&gt;
was complete.  The Spanish translation is also complete, while the
Dutch, Polish, German and Ukraine edition need a lot of work.  Get in
touch if you want to help make those happen, or would like to
translate into your mother tongue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The whole book project started when
&lt;a href=&quot;http://gwolf.org/node/4102&quot;&gt;Gunnar Wolf announced&lt;/a&gt; that he
was going to make a Spanish edition of the book.  I noticed, and
offered some input on how to make a book, based on my experience with
translating the
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.lulu.com/shop/lawrence-lessig/fri-kultur/paperback/product-22441576.html&quot;&gt;Free
Culture&lt;/a&gt; and
&lt;a href=&quot;https://debian-handbook.info/get/#norwegian&quot;&gt;The Debian
Administrator&#39;s Handbook&lt;/a&gt; books to Norwegian Bokmål.  To make a
long story short, we ended up working on a Bokmål edition, and now the
first rough translation is complete, thanks to the hard work of
Ole-Erik Yrvin, Ingrid Yrvin, Allan Nordhøy and myself.  The first
proof reading is almost done, and only the second and third proof
reading remains.  We will also need to translate the 14 figures and
create a book cover.  Once it is done we will publish the book on
paper, as well as in PDF, ePub and possibly Mobi formats.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The book itself originates as a manuscript on Google Docs, is
downloaded as ODT from there and converted to Markdown using pandoc.
The Markdown is modified by a script before is converted to DocBook
using pandoc.  The DocBook is modified again using a script before it
is used to create a Gettext POT file for translators.  The translated
PO file is then combined with the earlier mentioned DocBook file to
create a translated DocBook file, which finally is given to dblatex to
create the final PDF.  The end result is a set of editions of the
manuscript, one English and one for each of the translations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The translation is conducted using
&lt;a href=&quot;https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/madewithcc/translation/&quot;&gt;the
Weblate web based translation system&lt;/a&gt;.  Please have a look there
and get in touch if you would like to help out with proof
reading. :)&lt;/p&gt;
