File translation-update-upstream-HOWTO of Package translation-update-upstream

If you want to add translation-update-upstream support to a package
===================================================================

1) Add to preamble:

BuildRequires: translation-update-upstream

2) Immediately after %setup (and before possible
gnome-patch-translation-prepare) add command:

translation-update-upstream

3) Add configuration for this package to translation-update-upstream and
update translations.

If you want to update or add single translation
===============================================

Add a line to a proper configuration file (or create a new one -
anything with nale *.tlst is sourced automatically).

See upstream-collect.sh for implemented methods.

If your project uses a non-standard directory in the upstream directory
hierrarchy, you may need a code into a *.hook file.

Then run following command in unpacked sources directory:

./upstream-collect.sh {package_name}

where {package_name} is the name of the package you need to update.

Then you have to edit spec file to include new tarball, rebuild it and
rebuild the package using the new version of translation-update-upstream.

Note that the shapshot date of the package will not be updated, but
instead of it, a sub-version will be used.

You need osc, network connection, commands for all used download methods
(cvs, svn, git, wget) all commands needed to run %prep of packages
(e. g. patch or gnome-patch-translation) and network connection.

You need a lot of time. A complete run on ./upstream-collect.sh may
require 12 hours and several gigabytes of data downloaded.

If you want to update translations (short process: update translations only)
============================================================================

Run following command in unpacked sources directory:

bash ./upstream-collect.sh

It creates a tarball with translations updated by upstream using all
existing *.tlst filůes (configuration of packages) and
upstream-collect.conf (configuration of tool itself).

Then you have to edit spec file to include new tarball, rebuild it and
rebuild all packages using new version of translation-update-upstream.

Note that ./upstream-collect.sh has a smart error recovery. If any of
actions fail, you can restart ./upstream-collect.sh without loss of
already collected data. Just an actual package is restarted.

If you want to update translations (long process: update configuration)
============================================================================

Just now the file upstream-collect.lst is automatically generated by
lower mentioned tools.

You need a complete binary RPM repository available on a filesystem and
refer to it in create-config.conf

Then you can run following command in unpacked sources directory:

# collect possible po domains from rpm packages
bash ./create-tlst-step1-list-all-po-projects.sh
# scan upstream branches
bash ./create-tlst-step2-create-gnome_gtp.sh

Then continue as above.

To extract relevant strings from translation-update-upstream to translation-update
==================================================================================

If you need to extract relevant strings from compile time merged
translation-update-upstream to post installation update
translation-update, you can use
translation-update-upstream-to-translation-update.sh. This tool requires
some outputs of the upstream-collect.sh run, especially po-full
directory that contains the best full translations available.

You need this command:

# extract strings from translation-update-upstream that will not be updated
./translation-update-upstream-to-translation-update.sh

The command uses first item in OSC_REPOSITORIES array in
upstream-collect.conf as your target distro. Any package that is not
present there will be considered for post installation update.

Add the generated tarball to translation-update package after the run.
