=== Work in progress .... ===
Pootle in Sugar is actually unmaintained.
We (godiard / martin_xsa / erikos) are trying to resolve the pending issues because we need working translations but need a real maintainer.
The last maintainer was Sayamindu Dasgupta and we asked he our doubts, i am putting here this information.
== Basic info: ==
The pootle directory is /var/lib/pootle
The translations live in /var/lib/pootle/translations
== Creating branches: ==
* Each branch (eg: glucose-0.90) is a directory in the translations directory
Each project is a subdirectory inside this directory (eg: glucose-0.90/sugar)
These are actually symlinks to directories /var/lib/pootle/checkouts
* There's a script called pootlepopulator.py[1] It is invoked as
pootlepopulator.py category GIT_URL checkout_directory [branch]
So, assuming the directory /var/lib/pootle/translations/sucrose-0.90 exists,
you can issue a command:
pootlepopulator.py sucrose-0.90 git://dev.laptop.org/git/sugar sugar
sucrose-0.90
The script can be found in maintainance/helpers directory in /var/lib/pootle
* Once this is done, you need to create project in Pootle admin - go
to admin->projects and createa project called Sucrose 0.90 with the
code sucrose-0.90 (same as the directory name)
* Restart Pootle and Apache if the new project does not show up after this...
* Add the new projects to maintenance/helpers/potupdater/project_list.ini

== Working in git in the pootle server ==
The git operations must be done by the pootle user:
sudo -u pootle git log
sudo -u pootle git push origin sucrose-0.82
== Resolving conflicts ==
If the maintainer did a commit with a file in the po directory we will have a conflict, and Pootle can not do a pull.
Pootle build the pot file from the sources, if we compare and the translations are updated in pootle
we can do a pull preserving the info in pootle:
sudo -u pootle git pull -s ours
== Pootle scripts: ==
