Could we possibly use a system thats a mix of how GLSA's and GLEP's are |
| 17 |
handled currently? The main point here being that we can move the actual |
| 18 |
cvs location outside of gentoo-x86 and put it in somewhere more |
| 19 |
appropriate for translators. The example here is, all the GLSA's are |
| 20 |
currently not in the gentoo-x86 module. The regeneration script on our |
| 21 |
master mirror syncs with the gentoo module location for GLSA's and |
| 22 |
copies those files in its current location in the tree. |

Perhaps we could do the same for the news item where they actually |
| 25 |
reside in the documentation module and the 'plain text' versions of the |
| 26 |
files get copied into the tree at regen time. Correct me if I'm wrong, |
| 27 |
but I think GLEPs are currently created as RST files then you use a |
| 28 |
converter script to make it in guidexml. Then you actually commit both |
| 29 |
the rst and xml file to cvs. Could we possibly do the same here to make |
| 30 |
it simple? Automation is great where it fits best. I'd rather not deal |
| 31 |
with conversion on the server end, I'd prefer the conversion be handled |
| 32 |
by the developer/translator as they can double check the conversion |
| 33 |
script better than the script itself can. |

Poke at that :-) |
