lifelessjamesh: if he merged and discarded them, it will back them out when he merges05:06
lifelessotherwise the only possible cause is a pathological base selection, but I would suspect that last, not first.05:06
jameshlifeless: I checked the branches: the branch celso merged had fully merged with rocketfuel to the point before it got merged into rocketfuel05:08
jameshlifeless: yet there were differences between celso's branch and rocketfuel with celso's branch merged in05:08
jamesh(the differences being the backed out code)05:08
lifelessjamesh: in which case it has to be a base selection issue05:09
lifelessjamesh: was celsos branch a converted one ?05:09
jameshdoesn't look like it05:12
lifelessthats very bizarre then. 05:15
jameshI took a copy of celso's branch and was able to pull from rocketfuel into it05:18
jameshwhich showed that the two branches had converged and there were no other revisions merged in between05:18

jblackHi09:16
sivangjblack: Hi James , It appears I pinged you in the wrong hour :)09:16
jblacksivang: No problem at all.09:18
jblackNow that everyone is coming back, I'm back on a normal schedule09:18
sivangjblack: please correct me if I'm wrong, you're schedule isn't fitted with day and night time over where you are right?09:19
sivang(e.g. it's flipped)09:19
jblackCorrect. I'm shifted about +10 or so09:21
jblackI have a steady set of core hours and a set of about 6 hours a day that shift slowly during the week09:23
=== sivang watches SteveA's updates to RFS
SteveAi'm testing the procedure now09:27
sivanghas it went under lifeless's review and ack already?09:28
sivangjblack: ^^ (recalling you adviced to wait until it's worked out)09:28
SteveAi think we're waiting for rob to look at it some more09:28
jblacksivang: No. He's still unburying it himself.09:29
lifelessI'll do so tomorrow09:29
jblackunburying himself09:29
sivangok , just let me know when you think it can be tested by someone like me.09:32
jblackOh, you can bet. :)09:37
jblackBetween your comments, steve's comments, rob shouldn't have much of a problem looking them over.09:37
jblackBut its something we want to do anyways. More eyes make bugs shallow, and a production process modification should always be reviewed first when possible.09:38
jblackactually, now that I think about it..More eyes don't make bugs more shallow... But there's certainly more perspetive09:38
sivangheh09:41
jblackMore perspective means more depth perception. More depth means deepr.09:42
jblackSo the old saw is backwards. Many eyes make bugs deep! 09:43

lbmjordi: i'm the maintainer of gnomebaker in launchpad, but i am not allowed to upload individual po's02:06
jordilbm: how so?02:07
jordilbm: if you want ot do it one by one, you nede to go to the individual language urls and use the "upload" link02:07
lbmjordi: that's what i'm trying to do02:07
jordilbm: if you want to do all at once, you need a tarball, but for now it'll need to include the pot file too02:07

jordi(this will be fixed I think)02:08
lbm"Sorry, you don't have permission to access this page."02:08
lbmi can't really use lauchpad actively if this doesn't work02:08
jordireally?02:08
jordicarlos, daf: why is lbm getting this?02:09
jordiI'm gessing this is happening because you're not a member of the Chinese team and the translation perms are closed02:09
jordian exception should be granted to the product owner though02:09
lbmyes, i closed it to get work from committed users02:10
jordilbm: would uploading a tar+zh_CN.tar.gz work in this case? (as a workaround)02:10
jordilbm: maybe you wnt to set it to Structured though02:11
lbmjordi: i couldn't see what structured mode gave me02:11
jordiin this case, if a language has no ubuntu team assigned, anyone can contribute. But for languages with a team assigned, you can only get translations from team members02:11
jordiso in general it's a good idea for your case02:11
jordierr, when I said tar+zh_CN.tar.gz, I meant a tar.gz with pot+zh_CN.po02:12
lbmyes :)02:12
lbmlast time bz2 gave me an error, tar.gz worked fine though02:13
jordithere's a bug filed about bz202:13
lbmokay, great02:13
jordiit's actually a bug in python!02:13
lbm"If 'Reviewed', then anybody can make suggestions but only the designated translators can edit or confirm translations."02:14
lbmbut no 'Reviewed' in the list02:14
lbmand no description of 'Structured'02:14
jordiwhere is this?02:14
lbm+changetranslators02:15
lbmi need to select '(no value)' in the translation group selection for your idea to work, right?02:16
lbmoh, nevermind02:16
lbmubuntu translators was linked to all language-specific groups, i forgot02:17

mptbradb, DuplicateBugHandling is marked as BrainDump + Implemented09:10
mptthere needs to be a spec about merging bugs' tasks09:10
mptWould you prefer me to finish the DuplicateBugHandling spec with that stuff included, or start a new spec?09:11
bradbmpt: Filling in the existing braindump would be better, IMHO.09:12

sivangmpt: I trying to make your design reality in glade, it's a pain :-)09:17
sivangmpt: glade is acting weird, not displaying frame borders, layout is getting flipped etc..09:18
kikompt, many people have suggested you produce glade/gazpacho mockups instead of paper drawings..09:18
sivangheh09:18
sivangkiko: if he had done that, I would had 80% of the work already done, glade is a real pain09:18
kikowell, it does require you understand the gtk+ box model09:19
sivangI understand it to some good degree I think, but stuff aren't behaving as they should this time..09:19
sivangkiko: as you've written kiwi, mind if I ask you some quesiton in glade?09:22
mptkiko, I find Glade/Gazpacho take me 20 times as long as pen and paper too, so that's just redistributing effort, not saving it :-)09:23
kikosivang, sure. 09:24
sivangmpt: I appriciate greatly your pen and paper stuff, it really helps to put things in perspective without loosing hair with glade technicalities :)09:25
sivangkiko: how do I tell glade to show frame's border? I set it several time to X>0 and nothing happens09:25

el-singerlhow can i help now to translate ?09:37
carlosel-singerl, your suggestions will be stored anyway09:40
carlosit's just that we are not showing them atm because we had some performance problems09:41
el-singerlbut they don't appear09:41
carloswe will try to get them fixed next week09:41
el-singerlah ok, I understand09:41
sivangel-singerl: talk to your locoteam admin to approve you as a translator , then you could translate directly without just adding suggestions, but I imagine this can take a while until they see youre translations are good09:42
el-singerlso if i translate now, all message are saved anyhow09:42
carlosel-singerl, yes09:42
mdkesure, they are suggestions09:42
sivangel-singerl: s/locoteam admin/launchpad translator team admin/09:42

el-singerlthx09:42
el-singerlI'll contact my locoteam admin09:43
mptso suggestions are turned off?09:47
mptbut I'm still getting timeouts09:47
mptodd09:47
jordicarlos: so that's it? carlos, I was waiting for your return to answer this question.09:49
jordicarlos: so, when people ask where to find a list of translatable software for my language, what do I say?09:50
carlosjordi, really?09:50
jordi(and, does it work?)09:50
carlosjordi, https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/breezy/+lang/lang_code09:51
carlosjordi, dapper is not ready09:51
carlosand it works but has bugs09:51
carlostimeouts and some missing templates if there is no translation at all09:51
carlosfor your language09:51
jordiok, so that's what I was seeing09:51
jordiis there a plan to fix that "missing templates" bug? it's pretty bad, people can't find out what to translate09:52
mptBjornT, ping09:52
carlosjordi, yes, but not sure when.. SteveA and daf are working on the bugs priorities09:52
BjornThi mpt 09:52
carlosjordi, btw... are you aware of the new page at https://launchpad.net/rosetta/imports ?09:53
carlosjordi, the wiki page is now deprecated09:53
jordicarlos: too aware, I need to talk to you about it too09:53
carlos;-)09:53
carlosok09:53
jordibecause the first day I used it I goofed quite a bit09:53
jordicarlos: yes09:53
carlosjordi, goofed?09:54
jordifucked up, because I really didn't know how it worked09:55
jordi(and in the end, uploaded a hebrew translation as greek)09:55

carloswtf...09:59
janimojordi, I moved over here09:59
jordicarlos: I need a basic guide of how I am supposed to work with it09:59
jordijanimo: great, better09:59
carlosjordi, the first table has the headers wrong09:59
jordicarlos: ok, so janimo and Burgwork are discussing how mature launchpad/rosetta is for xfce10:00
carlosI will fix it with hte next production upload10:00
janimowell I have no experience with rosetta10:00
carlosjanimo, hi10:00
jordicarlos: I have in mind the problems that the Plone guys have encountered -- mostly permissions10:00
janimoI know xfce have an i18n team using po files and committers to their svn10:00
janimobut nothing more10:00
janimoI wanted to know if it would be too early for me going to them and asking if they want to test rosetta10:01
janimocarlos, hi :)10:01
carlosjordi, you should talk then with SteveA and daf to set those bugs as high priority so we fixed them as soon as possible10:01
jordijanimo: currently rosetta will provide an "easy way" of getting work available for contributors, and an easy way of getting it done.10:01
Burgworkjanimo, what about moving a smaller team onto to rosetta, or a small app10:01
janimoBurgwork, ok with me but I have no control over any xfce development10:02
el-singerlwhois seveas10:02
janimowas just thinking about mailing them about rosetta and anyone jump on it if seems ok10:02
Seveasel-singerl, I am seveas ;)10:02
mptInterface design bugbear #4677: People who use "option" to mean anything at all. "There should be a Quit option under the File option." "There are only ten options on the Rosetta page, there should be twenty."10:02
janimoand want to make sure first they don't flame me for pithing something not quite ready ;)10:02
janimopitching10:02
jordiBurgwork, janimo: in my experience, cases like yours could find problems if you need that only a few selected people work on the translations, this is because right now you guys wouldn't be able to create the XFce <language> Translators teams, you rely on launchpad admins for that.10:03
Burgworkjanimo, are the xfce pots already in rosetta?10:03
jordiso, that's the first thing you want to answer.10:03
janimoBurgwork, nope10:03
Burgworkjanimo, I would get them up there first10:04
Burgworkthen ask some of the key people to take a look10:04
janimoI guess that is independent of the rest of xfce i18n work right, it's a read-only thing 10:04
jordithere are old versions of them, included in the Hoary distro10:04
carlosjordi, well, that's not a big issue, it's a matter of document that they need to ask us to create the team10:04
carlosuntil we add a way to do it by their own10:04
jordicarlos: from mailman/plone experience, imposing so many "admin request" barriers is cumbersome for them10:05
jordithat's one of the things plone guys complained about10:05
janimoBurgwork, I intended to get them in a while ago but then thought I'd wait for bzr imports instead of bazaar one in LP10:05
jordibut yes, they could start like this10:05
jordicarlos: also, can normal users move products to product groups and so on?10:06
jordixfce would need a product group10:06
janimojordi, I assume first I need to make that product group10:06
carlosjordi, no idea10:06
janimoagain I was waiting for svn->bzr imports10:06
janimoany ETA on that?10:06
carlosjordi, I know the 'admin request' is no ideal10:06
carlosjordi, but it's a matter of decide if what we have now is better than what they have10:07
carlosjordi, while we fix that issue10:07
jordiyeah10:07
jordithey need to decide that10:07
janimook, I'll look around on their i18n list and ask if they are willing to consider it, maybe coming here and discuss with you guys if they have questions10:08
carlosjanimo, no idea, sorry. You should ask lifeless or jblack 10:08
janimodid projects which started using rosetta see notable benefits?10:09
jordijanimo: that'd be better.10:09
janimomore up-todate translations etc?10:09
jordijanimo: I plan doing a survey to see how successful it's been. Of course, rosetta is in constant improvement10:10
jordiso the very early adopters might have had troubles at the beginning which are now resolved, etc.10:10
janimowell of course web 2.0 style ;)10:10
jordijanimo: I know many are happy because they hopped in with no translations, and suddenly they had a dozen10:10
janimocool10:10
janimoso if some xfce people turn out to be interested I assume they can come here for a rosetta crash course right?10:11
mptBjornT, would you be able to fill in the last of the implementation section in FormLayout soonish?10:12
=== mpt thinks crashing Rosetta isn't difficult enough to need a course ;-)
janimoAFAIK the main benefit of rosetta lowering the contrib barrier, so translators do not need to know about gettext & co right?10:15
jordijanimo: yes10:15
jordijanimo: that's the main goal10:15
janimoso I know what I tell them if the say they can manage just fine with the current setup :)10:15
janimoand in this case the permission problem you mentioned would prevent some people from translating?10:16
janimoI did not quite get that 10:16
BjornTmpt: sure. i'll try to get it done this week.10:17
carlosjanimo, not really, it will introduce a small delay until they can start translating10:17
janimoacceptable I guess10:17
