Re: Enroll gnome-connections in the translation project

[Matej Urban <matej urban gmail com>]

Rafael,

really, I do not have an answer to that. Tried it once or twice way back, found it cumbersome, set up internal workflow for our team, and then decided to stick with what worked perfectly.I have no idea how it is now, but will try it today. Is there any tutorial, so I don't reinvent the wheel?

Thank you again for all your help.

Best,

Matej

Hey Matej,

I'm sorry, but it is not clear to me: why don't you commit your
translations via D-L web interface? Unless you are constantly doing
batch commits (which is not supported in D-L), D-L provides an easy
interface that eases the committer/coordinator action of sending
translation to the repository. No command lines, no disk space spent
storing Git repository, not requiring to rebase the Git repository
every time.

If you want some help on you using Damned Lies, I'd be happy to set up
a meeting on meet.gnome.org to guide you. Just let me know

Regarding the use of the merge request system, you could use Git's
command-line options to open the merge request [1]. Personally I never
used it because I tend to fork the repository, clone to my local
checkout, commit my changes, git push, and then click on a link
displayed on the git-push output that in fact opens the merge
requests.

About the "gnome-connections", the repository name is just
"connections". "gnome-connections" is just the name used in Damned
Lies.

Finally, I'd like to point out that you could use Damned Lies Rest API
to find out several information on the modules available on Damned
Lies. The application's repository URL is one of the information you
find there. See Damned Lies documentation[2].

I got instructions about how to clone it using web/command line, but it takes absolutely too much time and I never figured it out, how to do it only through commandline.
