[01:48] <Jeffrey_f> question on po files........Anyone?
[02:03] <wgrant> Jeffrey_f: Ask your question and somebody will answer if they know.
[02:06] <Jeffrey_f> Just getting started in fixing bugs.  there are po files, do those get edited directly or are they later generated from pot files?  Trying to get things straight
[02:09] <wgrant> That's more of a gettext question than a Launchpad question.
[02:09] <wgrant> but the POT is usually automatically generated from the code.
[02:10] <wgrant> POs are then filled in by translators (though in Launchpad that's done through the web UI, rather than on the PO directly).
[02:10] <Jeffrey_f> The error I am fixing is present in all the po's and one pot.
[02:11] <wgrant> After changing the POT, if you're managing translations outside Launchpad you'd use gettext's msgmerge to update the PO to include only the strings that are in the new POT. Launchpad does that for you automatically.
[02:11] <wgrant> But if the msgid has changed, then all the POs will need to have the string retranslated.
[02:11] <wgrant> Because it appears to be a new string.
[02:11] <Jeffrey_f> so, as you said, the po are automagically regen'd?
[02:12] <wgrant> If they're generated by Launchpad, yes.
[02:12] <wgrant> But they will not have translations for any modified strings.
[02:12] <Jeffrey_f> Code base is launchpad
[02:12] <Jeffrey_f> I think
[02:13] <wgrant> Does the project use Launchpad for translations, though?
[02:13] <Jeffrey_f> is ON launchpad, I meant
[02:13] <Jeffrey_f> how would I find that out?
[02:13] <wgrant> You should talk to the project maintainers.
[02:13] <wgrant> It depends on how they manage things.
[02:13] <wgrant> They may have processes for fixing translations, etc.
[02:14] <Jeffrey_f> see, on one, I changed all the po's, they didn't mind that......yet another asked me to revert the po's only, keeping he pot changed
[02:14] <Jeffrey_f> ok.  I'll ask then
[02:14] <wgrant> Right, it totally depends on the project.
[02:15] <Jeffrey_f> ok.....off to find someone to ask.  Thanks!
[02:56] <Jeffrey_f> So, I guess when a branch is merged it is effectively removed from my branches?
[02:57] <dobey> the status is changed to "Merged" and "merged" status is hidden by default in the web view list of branches
[02:57] <dobey> depending on how it is merged exactly
[03:45] <Jeffrey_f> ok.  Thanks (an hour later). Thank for the help
[10:10]  * mpt notices bug 737943 for the first time
[13:07] <mark06> is github supported as external bug tracker? can I add a bug tracker from github's repo to launchpad?
[13:10] <mgz> mark06: no, but you can always link from description or a comment
[13:11] <cjwatson> I believe you can add individual trackers on github
[13:11] <cjwatson> e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/bugtrackers/annis-github
[13:12] <cjwatson> (possibly wrong, I haven't actually checked whether that's working)
[13:12] <cjwatson> mm, doesn't seem to have any watches
[13:14] <mark06> I searched for github when setting the bug tracker to a registered one, and several matches were returned, how is that possible?
[13:16] <mark06> hmm, I just need to select sourceforge here? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/bugtrackers/+newbugtracker
[13:17] <mgz> I'd be surprised if that worked, but maybe
[13:19] <mark06> does this look right? https://bugs.launchpad.net/sparkle
[13:19] <mark06> how can I know that the bug tracker is working for sparkle project
[13:21] <mark06> hmm, there should be a list of bug watches, right? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/bugtrackers/mozilla-bugs
[13:47] <mark06> well, thanks anyway
