Bug#901180: release notes fails to build in a clean checkout

[Laura Arjona Reina]

Package: release-notes
Severity: normal

Hello

I have cloned the release-notes repo and did "make" to build the release
notes, but I got an error (attached complete log, here an extract):

LANG=C ./transcount en ca cs >> statistics.txt
svn: E155007:

I guess the "transcount" script needs to be adapted to use git instead
of subversion.

However, if I run again "make", the build goes on and finishes correctly.

If I do "make clean" and then "make" again, I face the issue again.

Kind regards,

I guess the "transcount" script needs to be adapted to use git instead
of subversion.

The attached patch works, but the statistics for ca & cs are wrong
because the svn revision tracked now don't match the actual git hash.
And ca & cs translators will need to find the git hash
corresponding to the old svn revision to know where to look back to
update the translation. This have to be done only once, but before to
keep correct stats.

Hello all,

It could be good to build again the release-notes.

If nobody objects, I can commit the proposed changes, and then ask -www
team to update the cron/parts/7release-notes script.

I'm Cc-ing the last translators for ca & cs, if they want to give some
input. But there were no update in 7 years, so these translations could
be marked as obsolete ?

I believe cs translation was excluded from builds quite some years ago,
so if it got reactivated again, please disable it / mark as obsolete
as needed. AFAIK there is noone working on the translation and I do
not see this changing in the near future.

Thanks for your feedback.
Indeed, ca & cs translations are disabled in the Makefile.
So we just need to have a working transcount script for 1) have a
successfull build and 2) taking care of future (or reactivated) xml
translations.

As nobody disagree, I plan to push the attached change during the
week-end.

Sure, please go ahead! I am trying to find someone interested on doing
'ca' translation, so we might be able to reactivate it in future.
