It was not just that file, but 3 files in total. And before that
it was also more than 1 file. I just had a look at the status page, and
my latest 3 commits are still not reflected there, although the cvs
commit reported everything done. I am just worried if my translations
will make it for FC3.
I've checked, and the status pages reflect the cvs. There are still 3
packages with missing translations, anaconda (2+5), authconfig (4+0),
and system-config-users (1+1). :( I've also checked anaconda, and your
last commit to anaconda seems to be the 23rd? And you didn't get any
error messages on commit? Is anyone else experiencing such problems?

Hmm, it may be because I changed my account on the i18n site,
it is now keldsim. Can you verify to me that I have privileges to the
finished files.
At the moment, you should be able to commit to every danish file, at
least as far as the status system is concerned.

I think that for my language this would be fine. The team is pretty
small (one not-so-small person:-)
Agreed. I'll add an option for the next upgrade.
