Hello, After doing yearly maintenance I found out the Translation Project (TP) had not updated to previous hello.pot, so I sent a message to translation coordinators that contained two items.
1. Could you update pot file? And I got reply the pot file submission was supposed to be automatic. Apparently TP bot is polling gnu ftp site for changes, but it had failed for some reason. I wonder if do-release-commit-and-tag and/or readme-release modules from gnulib could be improve to avoid the same in future. 2. Could you update the notifies to be sent to bug-hello maillist? To which I got positive answer, that I now regret a bit after seeing twenty some emails. Maybe the TP notifies does not belong to maillist, but to personal addresses of project maintainers savannah is aware. That would automate mail destination updates when maintainers change. Does some know where such savannah - TP integration change proposal should be sent? And I think the TP automation should be mentioned in 'Information for Maintainers of GNU Software' or 'Tips for new GNU maintainers'. BTW the new GNU maintainers also mention new maintainers will need various accounts such as * fencepost * gpg key to project ftp upload keyring * CVS login to push manual changes :pserver:[email protected]:2401/web/projectname -- Sami Kerola http://www.iki.fi/kerolasa/
