It seems that a script to refresh/clean the module's cache is not
working from cron for some reason.
I've been talking about this issue to diegobz at #fedora-latam-rpmdev
and he said we should ping fedora-admin guys at the appropriate
channel.
If they can't solve the issue, they will ask upstream (diegobz and
glezos), and they will help solving it.
I think we need to have a wiki page to explain translators how to ask
for help to fedora-admin people about Transifex issues. Perhaps it
exists, but nobody seems to find it.

I needed a packager a month and a half ago.
But finally, I submitted myself the packages for review [1], a month
later than the problem was identified and solved [2],  so I'm becoming
a Fedora packager now.

Fedora build system has it's own time.
So we have to wait a little bit more, until the packages reach the repos.
The tracking bug is the one for Transifex update [3].
Django-south has concluded [4].
django-addons [5] and django-threadedcomments [6] are on their way to
the repos. They have been approved and the SCM request is in progress.
django-ajax-selects [7] and django-staticfiles [8] are still under review.
Once the dependencies are finished, Transifex [3] package will be
rebuilt, and I'll be able to test it once more, to make sure we didn't
break anything in the process.
Then, fedora-admin guys will use these packages to upgrade Transifex
right out of the Fedora-EPEL repos.

After we have t.fp.o running Tx 0.9.1, I will start working to upgrade
it to 0.9.2.
I hope things will be easier from then on.
