Hello! I'm sorry to annoy the people, who think this topic is redundant, but nevertheless, I've just updated my small script for updating translations changelogs. It is positioned in the scripts/ directory in the debian-installer CVS tree.
New since the last release is the output of the script, it can now be simply copy&pasted into the changelog. For example, running it on the tools/kbd-chooser directory in the current CVS version yields the following output: * Updated translations: - Catalan (ca.po) by Jordi Mallach - Czech (cs.po) by Miroslav Kure - Danish (da.po) by Claus Hindsgaul - Greek (el.po) by Konstantinos Margaritis - French (fr.po) by Christian Perrier - Hungarian (hu.po) by VERÃK IstvÃn - Japanese (ja.po) by Kenshi Muto - Lithuanian (lt.po) by KÄstutis BiliÅnas - Portuguese (Brazil) (pt_BR.po) by Andrà LuÃs Lopes - Albanian (sq.po) by Elian Myftiu - Ukrainian (uk.po) by Eugeniy Meshcheryakov - Simplified Chinese (zh_CN.po) by Carlos Z.F. Liu (Of course, this has been copy&pasted ;)) I have also implemented a simple logic to ensure that the output is UTF-8 even if some translation is not held in UTF-8. I'd be really glad, if someone could test this script in his own release cycle, so I know at least, how good/bad/usable/awkward it is. I get the feeling it gets ignored :) Have fun with it! PS: I'd like to give some more explanation to the motivation for this script. As I have mentioned before, I'd like to push the responsibility for updating the changelogs away from translators and hand it over to the maintainers, or even better, to this script. Apart from being lazy, preventing double and missing entries and preventing possible mess in the changelog, this could be of use, if the translation work gets organized. For example, I am thinking of implementing a script for synchronising out russian l10n CVS repository with debian-installer's (actually, this script works, but only one way for now). This should work without problems, except the changelog problem, where some handwork is mostly needed. -- Nikolai Prokoschenko [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
