=== Work in progress .... ===

Pootle in Sugar is ''actually'' unmaintained.

We (godiard / martin_xsa / erikos / dirakx) 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

== Adding activities ==

Testing

Linking /var/lib/pootle/checkouts/honey/fototoon/po/FotoToon.pot to /var/lib/pootle/translations/honey/templates/fototoon.pot
********* Done Symlinking *********

== 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: ==

== Restarting Pootle ==

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
service pootle start
