thatcha new meaning of Processing I wasn't aware of? ;)00:05
mwhudsonthatch: like this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6642/00:06
mwhudsonthatch: we're currently working hard at replacing all this infrastructure to make a great deal more sense...00:06
thatchmwhudson: is it anything that I've configured wrong and could fix myself (I notice that it lists revs in MAIN, but I left it at HEAD assuming it was automagic having not used cvs for anything much)00:10
mwhudsonthatch: oh hang on00:10
mwhudsonthe import details are wrong, we want to be importing the 'MAIN' branch00:11
mwhudson('HEAD' is something else)00:11

kikojmehdi, well, we do support firefox translations, which are also XML11:33
kikojmehdi, however, you're better off converting from your format to .po/.pot and back11:33
jmehdi is that what you do for Firefox?11:34
