Deckard: some news

[Nicolas Delvaux <contact nicolas-delvaux org>]

Hi everyone,

I made two changes to Deckard ( http://deckard.malizor.org ) that I
would like to share with you.

First, as Gil Forcada suggested, I implemented URL settings.
This is more understandable with an example.

A new PO file for Totem was uploaded yesterday for the Japanese
language: http://l10n.gnome.org/vertimus/totem/master/po/ja
The merged PO name (as displayed on the page) is
totem-master-po-ja-32541_1.merged.po.

Now, just click on the following link:
http://deckard.malizor.org/?module=totem&file=totem-master-po-ja-32541_1.merged.po
(you don't have to add the "locale" parameter)

The PO file is automatically retrieved, as if you just uploaded it
manually. You just have to click "Display" :-)

In fact it works for all PO files available from
l10n.gnome.org/media/upload or l10n.gnome.org/media/upload-backup.

So, technically, links to Deckard can now be embedded on Damned lies (on
relevant module pages). It's not up to me to decide if it should be
implemented, but I think it would be useful.


Secondly, I made some (big) configurations changes on my server so that
users behind a firewall can now use Deckard (everything is now exposed
on port 80). However, if you are behind a proxy that filter websockets,
I'm afraid I can do nothing for you :-(


On top of that, I also added support for 8 new locales (more are yet to
come). Feel free to report a bug[1] if you think I might forget to add
yours ;-)

And that's it for now.
Feel free to share any question/suggestion and to dive into the code at

Cheers,
Nicolas
