I'm glad that it takes some time until the next SLED gets released and I hope we can all learn from it
Branch SLE earlier ;) But this probably is not an option. Maybe, I should have warned the openSUSE translators in advance. Otherwise, too many warnings are also annoying, and right from the beginning it was pretty clear to me that "SLE translations in Factory" is just a temporary issue and SVN is not affected at all.
- and fix the problems introduced without problems,
I can at least tell some: the problem was mainly that packages that were meant purely for SLE (i.e. only containting SLE languages, not all openSUSE ones) were checked in into Factory to get the bug fixes within that packages into Factory fast. That this regressed the translations for the moment in Factory was seen as smaller evil.
Yes, this also happened with the YaST translations. Now we have yast2-trans with yast translations from the trunk (= openSUSE 11.2 plus community updates) in Factory as: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=yast2-trans&project=openSUSE%3AFactory
There isn't and never was an intention to automatically merge the SLE translations. The SLE translators had a different time scale, different requirements and different tools - so it's clear that there is no simple merging. The code11 branch is there and open and you can grab from it what's considered good or file bug reports if you consider something bad (if you care for SLE, of course noone expects you too).
Yes, that's it.
Again: We will not throw away any translation work done for 11.1 when going towards 11.2 - the opposite is true. I went great lengths to rewrite the desktop files handling to give you a way to look at conflicts. And not even about SLE conflicts, but I already do not dare to throw away work that upstream did differently.
