Hi Dimtris,<br><br>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...
<br><br>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.<br>
<br>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. <br>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.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 7/30/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Dimitris Glezos</b> <<a href="mailto:dimitris@glezos.com">dimitris@glezos.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

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