KDE Maintainship

KDE PO files are all placed in a unique place contrary to Gnome.

Scenario

• Many contributions were committed to Arabeyes' CVS (translate/kde/messages)
• KDE SVN is updated with modified strings
• Arabeyes contribution must be committed to KDE SVN
• The PO files in Arabeyes must be updated
• Finally Arabeyes translate/kde/messages and KDE trunk/l10n/ar/messages must be exactly the same after the sync

• Logging in and checking out:

svn checkout https://<username>@svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/l10n/ar/messages

The typed password is remembered.

• Merging Arabeyes translations to KDE new PO files

cd $ARABEYESCVSROOT/translate/kde/messages
for i in `find | grep ".po\$"`; do

msgmerge $ARABEYESCVSROOT/translate/kde/messages/$i

$KDESVNROOT/trunk/l10n/ar/messages/$i 
-o $KDESVNROOT/trunk/l10n/ar/messages/$i; done
