Is there anyone who will go to svn and download the translations > updated after the 2.18.3 release for using them in packages? In Gentoo Linux we don't do that at the moment. If we had an easy way to do so preferably in tarball form coming from upstream, I would seriously consider adding them to our tree and fast-tracking to the stable tree as I believe that perfect translations are important to GNOME's success. One easy way could be extra 2.18.4 releases for packages that would benefit considerably from a translation updates only release. As they would then be uploaded to the respective packages ftp directory at ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/<package name>/<major>.<minor> our FTP crawling script will pick them up and show in the "Latest available version" column. For example one such script run result is available online at http://dev.gentoo.org/~leio/gnome/gnome2.18.html right now. PS: I hope our FTP directory crawling script isn't causing any bandwidth problems to you guys - if it does please let us know and we would be happy to coordinate some more efficient way to check for latest versions. I think it would be a good idea to do so regardless, as it would also speed up the time it takes to regenerate that page. Maybe I can discuss the preferred ways for this kind of things at GUADEC with the release or infra team of GNOME? -- Mart Raudsepp Gentoo Developer Mail: leio gentoo org Weblog: http://planet.gentoo.org/developers/leio
