Creating linked components

[Matej Marusak]

Hey,

so we created a new branch in cockpit[1], for we want to track translations
separately. However, we want to have this new component (branch) connected
to the master component. I know it is possible to create linked component,
but could not find it. Can someone please advise me?

Thank you!

Not sure how Michal have done it but you can see a working integration here:
https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/phpmyadmin/

It was probably configured by Michal who is in charge (or at least was) of
this project.

This is part of component configuration: 
https://docs.weblate.org/en/weblate-3.10.3/admin/projects.html#component-con...

Source code repository
     VCS repository used to pull changes, see Accessing repositories for 
more details.
     This can either be a real VCS URL or weblate://project/component 
indicating that the repository should be shared with another component. 
See Weblate internal URLs for more details.

So, in your situation, on the rhel-8-2 component:
replace: [e-mail]:cockpit-project/cockpit-weblate.git
by: weblate://cockpit/master

I see, but would it then push updates into rhel-8-2 branch in
https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-weblate ?

I think so yes. Otherwise, it would be a bug.

I never used linked repository for multiple git branches.

The only usage for linked component is to make weblate faster.
It means weblate will have one single git repository on disk instead of many.

For you it has no impact.

I thought that the main advantage of linked components is that, if you
translate some string in one component and the same string is in the other
component as well, it would get translated in both.
As we have branches, it means they now share all the string, and in the
time they diverge. And it would be pointless work for translators to
translate the exact same strings in two components.

So I did some experimenting, and I thought someone else might be interested
as well, so here is how it works:
I kept the original setting, as 'linked' was not what I really needed.
I changed some strings in `cockpit/master`. When I went to
`cockpit/rhel-8-2` these strings were updated there automatically as well.
And when I synced both `cockpit/master` and `cockpit/rhel-8-2` into our
github, both branches in github were updated with separate commits [1][2].
So sync between components works as expected even when components are not
linked.

Ah and one more thing. It seems that when I set 'Source code repository' to
'weblate://cockpit/master' then I cannot specify branch ('Repository branch
- Option is not available for linked components'). So then it won't have
any idea which branch it should push to.
So I guess we don't actually want linked component? But is there syncing
between components?

Thanks
