Hi Dimtris, I hope you don't take offense by my questions. I am just trying to understand. Also, I think you are doing a great job. Good that you are trying to fix the problems with different VCS:es and all the other work you've done... However, I do not like that situation where everyone is using all different VSCs. I can just see all the problems that will happen. Why can't Fedora just decide on one VCS for all projects? If Fedora is going to do such a radical change to use many different VCS, then the whole system has to be up and working before they can do the switch. Right now I don't have much time to do anything. Otherwise I would throw everything in one CVS, so people can continue translating as before. It feels like I don't know which leg to stand on. Install 4 different VCS:es, just use web download, wait for Dimitris workaround or just stop translating. Messy. <div>On 7/30/07, Dimitris Glezos <<a href="mailto:dimitris@glezos.com">dimitris@glezos.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> O/H Magnus Larsson Эгсбше: > So different project use different VCS?

The first part of the sentence was true before as well -- different projects had their PO files hosted in different VCSs (the Docs project comes in mind). It's just that now we (will) have a tool to bridge this gap and enable both translators and developers to live happily ever after :) Of course, nobody stops us (or someone from the team to be more specific) from temporarily dumping all the PO files that interest the FLP in `/cvs/l10n` until we deploy Transifex. We're in a testing phase right now. Drop by #fedora-l10n if you'd like to help test it in the next few days. ;-) -d > On 7/27/07, * Karsten Wade* <<a href="mailto:kwade@redhat.com"> kwade@redhat.com</a> <mailto:<a href="mailto:kwade@redhat.com">kwade@redhat.com</a>>> > wrote: > > On Wed, 2007-07-25 at 23:51 -0400, Magnus Larsson wrote: > > I like the new translation pages.
