mih1406Hi, I want to install launchpad in my site for translation only, can I install it using web-based?03:07
thumpermih1406: why not use the public launchpad?03:27
mih1406thumper, they need to confirm the files that I upload as mention in the site. I am translating the same files in Ubuntu for a language that is already supported in launchpad but in other rules!03:41
mih1406thumper, I have a team for re-translating the Arabic version of Ubuntu packages into another form or Arabic!03:42
mih1406thumper, are they gonna accept my files?03:42
thumpermih1406: not sure, I don't know much about the translations bit, ask jtv, henning or danilo03:42
thumperjtv should be coming online soon03:43
jtvthumper: you called?03:43
thumperhenning and danilo are europe time03:43
jtvmih1406: what form of Arabic is this?03:43
mih1406the same but with a more common usage for computer terms03:44
mih1406jtv03:45
jtvSo more like what people actually use?  How come there's a difference?03:45
mih1406The current Arabic translations are not accepted by many many of Arabic users!03:46
mih1406We are a team and want to edit and re-translate to a more common translations and more (windows-like) translations.03:47
jtvThat sounds like it would be better if the original Arabic could change.  I'm sure you tried talking to the Arabic translation teams though.03:47
mih1406Yes I we talked to them but they answered it should be accepted in the future!!03:49
mih1406Do you know arabic?03:49
mih1406They are translating "Save file" to some thing like "Do Save a File"03:49
mih1406They are using the "v" form, which is very ugly in computer world!03:50
mih1406verb form03:50
jtvI'm sorry, no, I don't know Arabic.03:51
jtvI've heard it can place a lot of emphasis on form.03:52
mih1406Do accept it in English like this "Do Save a File"?03:52
mih1406In a menu item?03:52
mih1406;)03:52
jtvTo me, English is quite unusual for a European language—quite lucky really that it became the dominant computer language.03:52
mih1406Anyway, using a popular form and correct form is better than a strange correct form? Do you agree?03:53
jtvIn English you don't even need to know if "Save File" is in the infinitive or the imperative.  Or what form of "you" to use.  Or whether the computer should speak as a man or a woman.03:54
=== Ursinha-afk is now known as Ursinha
jtvmih1406: Yes, personally I agree.  Though of course I just have to believe you on what these issues actually look like in Arabic.  :-)03:54
mih1406go back to our topic03:55
mih1406can I start a project in launchpad?03:55
mih1406or they are going to reject my .po files?03:56
jtvI don't think a project makes sense.  A translation team, definitely, but then you have a conflict for who does "the real Arabic."03:56
jtvAnother thing we could, in theory, do is create a variant of Arabic.  That's something we didn't support two weeks ago, so some very new decisions to be made.03:57
jtvSo then there'd be an "ar@something" (where "something" is some kind of identifier for this translation style).  But I'm not sure whether that'll be accepted.03:58
mih1406Our idea is to re-translate the same files and create a new package for the translations. It is not important to be the official package in ubuntu or other distros04:00
mih1406This package replaces the official package .mo files!04:00
mih1406After becoming more popular we can have our word in the official GNOME and KDE translations teams04:01
jtvTranslating the same packages (and there are many!) in two places is likely to lead to trouble.  *Technically* a language variant is the best solution, though I can't say that that's the intended use of variants.04:02
jtvIt also means that the existing Arabic translators can enable automatic translation suggestions from your variant, and vice versa.04:03
jtvI don't think there are any other good solutions besides convincing other translation teams or creating a variant.04:10
jtvmih1406: it'll be another 7 hours before our team is complete and we can discuss this.04:11
mih1406tjv, can we have a variant ar_SA (Saudi Arabia) as in windows?04:13
jtvNo, not like that—because that is for countries.04:20
mih1406?04:26
mih1406we are team of SA people04:27
mih1406linuxKSA.org04:27
jtvmih1406: you did not say that your version of Arabic is specific to Saudi Arabia.04:28
jtvIf it's not, then ar_SA is not the right code for this.04:28
mih1406Actually there is no difference in Arabic among countries!04:28
jtvNor any other country.04:28
jtvMy point is that we can't abuse the country codes to express differences that have nothing to do with the country.04:29
mih1406yes, you are right04:29
mih1406so we have to stick to our idea! until we get more and more people04:30
jtvIf you have enough people, we can discuss an ar@abcd (where "abcd" identifies the translation style somehow).04:31
mih1406good04:31
jtvI think it would, however, take enough people that you could achieve reasonably complete translation coverage (otherwise everyone will want to have their own language :)04:32
mih1406We will translate GNOME and KDE 100% :)04:32
jtvIf you can do that, great!  I wish you good luck.  I'll bring up your use-case with the rest of the team when they get here.04:33
mih1406thank you04:44

mwhudsonis there an easy way to grab a package from debian and get it into a ppa?04:50
nhandlermwhudson: You could use pull-debian-source in ubuntu-dev-tools to grab the package04:51
lifelessmwhudson: bzr branch lp:debian/foo/bar; dch -i; bzr db-do; dput ppa:foo04:52
mwhudsonhmm04:54
mwhudsonthe version i want might only be in experimental even04:54
nhandlermwhudson: pull-debian-source lets you specify where to pull from (pull-debian-source package experimental)04:54
* mwhudson tries to remember how debian works04:56
lifelessits a series of tubes04:57
lifelesswith flamewars in between04:57
ajmitchI think the flames help the tubes flow04:57
mwhudsonnhandler: why does "pull-debian-source python-virtualenv sid" get me version 1.4.9-1 while http://packages.debian.org/sid/python-virtualenv says 1.4.9-3 ?04:57
ajmitchmwhudson: because one of the debian servers that carries such information is having hardware troubles, apparantly04:58
micahgmwhudson: debian qa madison cache is out of date04:58
nhandler+1 micahg.04:59
mwhudsonah ok04:59
nhandlerI'm not sure when that gets updated04:59
ajmitch& 1.4.9-3 was uploaded only today04:59
ajmitchhttp://packages.qa.debian.org/p/python-virtualenv.html04:59
ajmitchgrab the dsc file from there with dget04:59
micahgmwhudson: if you add this to ~/.devscriipts, it'll work: RMADISON_URL_MAP_DEBIAN=http://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/madison.cgi04:59
mwhudsonmicahg: nope05:00
micahghmm05:00
micahgoh, it must need more ahcking05:01
ajmitchdget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/p/python-virtualenv/python-virtualenv_1.4.9-3.dsc05:01
mwhudsonoh right 1.4.9-2 was only uploaded today too05:01
mwhudson(which has the fix i care about)05:01
mwhudsonanyone want to sync that to maverick? :-)05:01
mwhudsongpg: Can't check signature: public key not found05:02
mwhudsoni guess i'm missing some debian key?05:02
ajmitchthat's usual05:02
ajmitchbecause you don't have the public key of the person who uploaded it05:03
ajmitchbut it would have grabbed the .dsc & tarballs05:03
ajmitchyou can now use dpkg-source -x on the .dsc file to extract it05:03
ajmitchor you could have done it with dget -u -x blabla.dsc, but I was silly & didn't give the full info05:04
micahgmwhudson: requestsync works with that line in devscripts05:05
micahgmwhudson: but there are ubuntu changes05:05
mwhudsonoh right05:06
mwhudsonseems from https://merges.ubuntu.com/p/python-virtualenv/REPORT that it's just something in the control file that conflicts?05:06
ajmitchmerges.ubuntu.com is also out of date05:07
micahgmwhudson: that's out of date 1.4.9-1ubuntu1 is current05:07
mwhudsonawesome05:07
ajmitchreading the changelog of -2, it may be able to be synced now05:08

lamontor is that just something that we know?23:31

wgrant3) Yay.23:49
lamontdunno.  I just know that some core-devs specifically have non-virtualized ppas specificially because of that23:49
wgrant4) That's a universal scoring problem, which might be fixed soon.23:49
lamontthe virt arm builders are not generally available, specifically because they are LYING23:50
wgrantRight.23:50
wgrantBut they are a restricted architecture.23:50
lamontin any case, we have more main-archive builders coming online (e.g. allspice)23:50
