German language source code comments are not acceptable in the +systemd source tree, according to our coding style conventions. In preparation for merging LibreOffice into systemd I have thus started translating a few of their source code comments from German into English. --------------------------------
Maybe we all got it wrong ans systemd is a distribution slightly more religiously motivated than others and not an init replacement. LibreOffice started as StarOffice in Hamburg, Germany. Ich protestiere against this hideous attempt to uproot the software;-) LibreOffice is just a word processor which wanted to be portable and compatible with MS office. It says a lot that it is still the "de facto non-MS office" standard and even contains some German comments written 30 years ago. Many tried to write "big replacements" for particular software and failed.. Regards Peter
