[09:03] <dpm> morning all
[09:03] <andrejz> morning
[09:04] <dpm> hey andrejz :)
[15:18] <happyaron> dpm_: hi
[15:20] <dpm_> hey happyaron
[15:20] <happyaron> dpm_: does u-t-cs still can upload translations for a source tarball? (I know not now, just ask for when launchpad is running in correctly)?
[15:21] <happyaron> I have made a small fix for libreoffice's desktop file and plan to upload it soon when launchpad accept uploads again if the maintainer doesn't have the plan to make a new version very soon.
[15:21] <dpm_> happyaron, I'm not 100% sure to be honest. It might be that only members of the rosetta-admin team (and project maintainers, of course) can do it. In any case, you can try it safely on translations.staging.launchpad.net
[15:22] <dpm_> so you can see if it works or not
[15:22] <dpm_> happyaron, but does the fix not need to be in a patch to work?
[15:22] <happyaron> dpm_: I cannot find a url to do that
[15:23] <happyaron> dpm_: yes I'll help on the package, but the pot is a new one, and the maintainer said it still need some work on rosetta.
[15:24] <dpm_> let me give you the url
[15:25] <dpm_> just a sec, LP is being slow...
[15:25] <happyaron> no worries, :)
[15:25] <dpm_> so you see it's not only a problem in China ;)
[15:27] <happyaron> :D perhaps people in some contries can have a faster speed, like in the UK?
[15:28] <dpm_> I'm sure it's flying in the Canonical office in London! :)
[15:28] <happyaron> :)
[15:29]  * happyaron someone might need to ping Mark and ask him to buy some cdn network service...
[15:30] <dpm_> happyaron, ah, I know what's happening. You cannot do first-time template uploads by hand. The first time a template is created, it needs to be done through a package upload. After that, templates and translations for the whole source package can be uploaded manually. I see someone has accepted the lo-desktop template already, but unfortunately the upload failed, which is why we cannot do manual uploads yet: no template has yet been imported at a
[15:30] <dpm_> ll
[15:30] <dpm_> https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/libreoffice/+imports
[15:31] <happyaron> dpm_: ah, see, so we have to wait the maintainer to make a new upload
[15:31] <dpm_> yeah :(
[15:33] <dpm_> happyaron, I saw the bug, and I think to be able to make translations work in the .desktop files, they'll need to be modified to include the X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain field, i.e. approving the template will not be enough
[15:33] <dpm_> but I haven't looked at it with detail yet
[15:35] <happyaron> there's another question, will we accept those translations to langpacks or not? I saw the initial import of lo-desktop has checked that field, I've no idea who did that.
[15:36] <dpm_> I think I'd put them in language packs, this way we won't depend on the package maintainer to integrate translations into the package, and they can be updated with langpack updates
[15:36] <happyaron> OK
