Without dwelling too much on this, I think that what you describe
is good, efficient, but falls behind the point. It would be
better if each language could simply have the update notification
on and working, regardless of Sun's coverage.
[Joost] that would be possible if all build providers include that
feature at build time. That is not the case. On the other hand the
product update service requires manual interaction it does not
work like magic.
That's an important piece of information: it thus means that if
Clytie's or Leif's builds have not the feature of automatic update
notification working, it is because it was not included at build
time and/or it's not been activated.
Exactly. It doesn't mean they're incapable of that feature, if I
have understood the explanations correctly. I'm interested in the
reminder that our completing our Help translation means we will
finally get complete builds from Sun, but as you point out, that
doesn't help the teams who haven't been as lucky.
Actually, I hope for a fairly wide-reaching improvement to Sun's
build process, because we also need more frequent builds. Pavel's
community builds provide dynamic feedback: he builds much more
frequently, and accepts updated translations. Sun only accepts
translations once or twice per version. Pavel will accept an updated
translation for every build, which means up to twice a week!
Effectively, Pavel's builds are more recent, from both the software
and the localization points of view.
--Snipped a lot of good stuff--
So what is needed now is either:
- a polite message to Pavel asking him to turn on that feature
- a howto for localizers and build maintainers explaining how to to
turn it on and activate it.
Joost?
Best,
Charles.
