The upstream "trunk" package vs. the Ubuntu source package

[Miro Hadzhiev]

Днес отправих въпроса "кои пакети е по-добре да превеждаме в
Launchpad.net - тези на разработчиците (които резидират в
Launchpad.net) или пакетите, които служат само за версиите на Убунту".

Копирам ви пълния отговор на Дейвид Планела (the Ubuntu Translations
Coordinator (UTC) in the Community Team, https://launchpad.net/~dpm):

As you have well noticed, for those projects hosted as upstream in
Launchpad and also shipped in Ubuntu, there are two translation
locations:

* The upstream project
* The Ubuntu source packages (one for each release)

Right now, I'd recommend translating the Ubuntu source package from
the development version, that is, for Maverick. Once you've done that,
you can also go to the upstream project and translate it. Since you
will already have done the job for Ubuntu, those translations will
appear as suggestions and you will only need to point and click to
accept them. So, while not optimal, it is really easy to keep the
projects in sync like this.

In the near future, Launchpad will do this for you and there will be
message sharing between Launchpad upstream projects and the Ubuntu
source packages (this is something the developers are actively working
on right now)

For those who are not aware: message sharing is a really cool feature
through which translated messages are shared across series. That is,
if you translate a message in Lucid, that same message will be
instantly translated in Maverick and even previous releases.

As an example of such a project hosted in Launchpad, here's simple
scan:

Upstream project:
https://translations.launchpad.net/simple-scan

Ubuntu source packages:
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+sources/simple-scan/+translations
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+sources/simple-scan/+translations

Regards,
David."


Надявам се да ви разяснява някои неща, които поне на мен не ми бяха
ясни, относно кое е по-целесъобразно да превеждаме първо. Не че в тази
жега съм способен да "вдяна" каквото и да е. ((:


Хубава вечер и стискам палци да ви се намира по едно климатиче/бира,

Продължение на разговора ни с Дейвид и важно уточнение:

Yes, since the translations always flow automatically from the
upstream
package to the Ubuntu source package, unless it's a special one with
manual steps involved (e.g. the debian installer)

Regards,
David."

С това приключвам темата и очаквам да се включите, ако някой от вас
има конкретни въпроси.
