Today, 27 May, we worked on Transifex from 7pm to 8pm, 12:00 to 13:00 GMT.The
updates should be available tomorrow 28 May after 2:30 GMT. (It means after
9:30am for me).
To be sure to get them, I will run the update on 28 after 3:30 GMT (after
10:30am for me).I will let you know.

Yes, and tell me if it doesn't !

Ok, there are probably remaining issues :).

No. Updates are built only if a change happened during the latest 24h, but
previous changes are not reverted until a new official package of translations
is available. So when a nightly update is built, all the changes that happened
since the latest official package was published are included.

Yes, this is an old bad sysadmin habit: the machine must not decide to get
updated without user action. This is also needed to avoid the use of network
bandwidth everyday, some of our users may have slow Internet connections. That
said, if you have installed DDL, you can activate automatic updates with
cron-apt or maybe update-manager.

With Gaurav we've decided to switch our servers to GMT so that he (in India)
and me (in France), don't have to perform too much calculation before finding
the local time of a job! Nightly builds are triggered at 00:30 GMT, they last
around 2 hours, so from 00:30 GMT to about 02:30 GMT. Resources on Transifex
are scanned one by one, so any change between 07:30 and 09:30 in your local
time may be included in nightly updates (or not, depending on the time at which
the resource is scanned). Check file modification times on our server:
http://volatile.debian.doudoulinux.org/pool/main/d/
NB: If you wake up early in the morning, you may not get your work of the day
before if you update too early.
We should write this information on our website for all our translators :).
Cheers,
JM.
