I need it read-only for a while to move away the files that are not sle branch relevant anyway, so the po files are in the correct place. Then it will be switched back to RW. So something like few hours work and handfull of po files disappearing to the respective devel git trees.
If the file do not belong to the SVN there, just tell me the names and the reason why, and we will remove them. If they are still needed there, we do not want to mess with the files. If you want to perform experiments, just create a branch "for testing".
After this the svn will be writable and I need to find out wether it will be possible with your tools to use git directly or not. Also wrt the partial svn checkouts you don't loose that as weblate allows you to download only po file you desire to work on, or just some set of po files that are from some common criteria if you don't want to keep the git tree on your local machine.
There are also guys who neither want to use a Web UI nor git. Maybe, we would switch to git, if git would offer advantages for the whole translation process.
In theory the final git migration of the main translations repo is not such a hard requirement because we could use git-svn (I have to ask Michal if it is possible) but in such case there will be some parts of translations stored in git (even now they are) and some in svn, and we could actually have everything under github and be done with it so there is just one way how to access the stuff.
I'm not convinced that I'd like to go that route. Thus far, none of the software translation files I somehow coordinate is stored outside of the translation SVN (that's right now svn.opensuse.org); it is actually a requirement to make use of svn.opensuse.org if you want to have something translated. It has to be discussed with coolo and the openSUSE project leads and the community whether that's the right approach. Of course, nothing it crafted in stone. We can switch repositories if we see clear advantages. But, just some months ago, we switch from berlios to svn.opensuse.org (after switching from novell.com to berlios), and I do not feel comfortable to switch now again. There are more than 100 accounts involved (these are mostly translators and developers who would have to get used to the new location), written documentation here and there, and quite some third party tools you are not aware of. -- Karl Eichwalder SUSE LINUX Products GmbH R&D / Documentation Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-translation+owner@opensuse.org
