Aleksey, Yes, the manual process is messy, which is why we intend to re-establish the automagical updates. This request for a round of updates from maintainers is intended to catch us up with UI changes madce since the POT update process stopped work so tha localizers have a solid baseline to work from *n the limited time until the 0.94 release. It is an interim measure, not a proposal for a permanently changed workflow. cjl _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
