> hi!
> see branch announcement in mozilla.dev.apps.calendar
I'll copy it over here:
| I want to inform you that the release branch has been created, from
| which Lightning and Sunbird 0.8 will be released.
|
| The name of this branch is SUNBIRD_0_8_BRANCH.
| Please note that *CODE* checkins on this branch are restricted. You
| will need the approval from Daniel Boelzle before you commit changes
| to that branch.
|
| Localizers do *NOT* need approval for checkins on this branch.
|
| Developers *AND* localizers should however make sure, that all
| changes are committed to the trunk, the MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH and the
| SUNBIRD_0_8_BRANCH in parallel. This is to avoid inconsistencies as
| we do parallel development on the trunk and the branches.
What this means for you is:
- String changes in your localization are possible and will remain
possible. So if you or a member of your community finds issues in
your *CALENDAR* localization you do *NOT* need approval to make the
necessary changes
- *IF* you make changes, then please make sure to commit them to the
trunk, the 1.8 branch (MOZILLA_1_8_BRANCH) and the newly created
Sunbird 0.8 branch (SUNBIRD_0_8_BRANCH).
If you have any questions, feel free to send me your questions or
post them here in the newsgroup.

Please use cross-commit for that:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_cross_commit
You may have to get the cross-commit script first, see
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Using_cross_commit#Getting_the_script
You'll have to remember, that cross-commit needs to be used from a
trunk tree and needs to have perl installed.
So let's say your trunk l10n tree is in C:\moz-trunk\l10n\mk then
the script would be in C:\moz-trunk\mozilla\tools\cross-commit.
Now you want to update some strings in
C:\moz-trunk\l10n\mk\calendar\chrome\calendar\calendar.dtd then you
do the following from C:\
cd moz-trunk\l10n\mk\calendar\chrome\calendar
perl ../../../../../mozilla/tools/cross-commit --moz18 --branch
SUNBIRD_0_8_BRANCH -m "Checkin comment" calendar.dtd
The last statement in just one line. If you need more help, let me
know or ask around on the #l10n channel on irc.mozilla.org

It sounds pretty complicated. But once you have done it once or twice,
it's pretty easy.
