768373 - Create /gaia-l10n hierarchy on hg.mozilla.org for per-locale repositories

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Services :: General, task)

Description

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

For B2G/Gaia, we'd like to use a separate repository hierarchy which is not bound to the -central, -aurora or -beta trains.

Please create the /gaia-l10n hierarchy.

Should I file individual bugs for all locales that we want to have under this hierarchy?

For example, we will need /gaia-l10n/es with the common l10n permissions and hooks, both python:mozhghooks.pushlog and python:mozhghooks.single_head_per_branch.hook.

Comment 1

[Shyam Mani [:fox2mike]]

A list of locales will be fine.

Comment 2

[Shyam Mani [:fox2mike]]

Also, which l10n repos use pushlog?

Comment 3

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

The list for now will be:

ar
de
el
en-US
es
fr
it
pt-BR
ru
tr
zh-TW

Cool. This should be good to go for checkins etc. I'll close out the bug once the hg.mozilla.org http front-end has caught up with the changes.

That doesn't have the pushlog hook on, we'll need those. They're blocking for integration with elmo, if nothing else.

Pushlog is globally enabled. None of the repos under l10n-central have them either, fwiw (not in the specific repo's hgrc files).

Excellent question, dear sir :)  I'll post in mozilla.dev.l10n this week and we'll figure that out.  I'll probably file more bugs.  The initial list is nothing else than a mirror of kaze's repo at https://github.com/fabi1cazenave/gaia-l10n/.  We definitely want more locales participating!

Thanks for your help!

[Vito Smolej]

Hi Staš:

Enclosed the SL tree - based on en-US contents of the GitHub. Can zopu squeeze Slovenian in as well?

[Vito Smolej]

Attachment: Boot 2 gecko properties as per github repository (en_US) structure

If the structure does not rhyme, let me know and I wll adjust accordingly

Comment 11

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

Hey Vito -- thanks for taking care of the Slovenian l10n.  Let's not hijack this bug though -- I'll soon have more details about adding locales to b2g.

Comment 12

[Shyam Mani [:fox2mike]]

CC'ing release folks. Forgot to do this earlier :|

Comment 13

[Shyam Mani [:fox2mike]]

https://hg.mozilla.org/gaia-l10n/ is now displaying fine as well.

Comment 14

[Hal Wine [:hwine] use NI!]

All - RelEng has asked that these repositories be locked at the moment. They may not be located in the correct place to allow smooth integration into the buildfarm & release services.

We do not anticipate this will be a huge delay, we just don't want to minimize the number of folks impacted.

My apologies that this request wasn't routed through RelEng first - it's a new process to help us ensure we can deliver b2g as smooth as possible.

Please direct any questions to myself and/or John O'Duinn

Comment 15

[Corey Shields [:cshields]]

locked the repos at Releng's request.

ops: changed grp ownership to root from scm_l10n

Comment 16

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Hal, there's not a whole lot of options we have with how this is set up on the l10n side, so would you detail on the concerns on your side?

Comment 17

[Hal Wine [:hwine] use NI!]

Axel - more details forthcoming from John, but it's about how we coordinate all the gaia/b2g resources in terms of naming, root repo location, etc. All in service of less confusion down the line, for all the users of the repos.

Hi.

The Galician team wants to participate in the location.

Is it possible?

Thanks.

Comment 19

[Hal Wine [:hwine] use NI!]

Please go ahead and "unlock" these repos (see comment #15 for how it was locked).

Comment 20

[Shyam Mani [:fox2mike]]

Unlocked, should be ready to go.

Comment 21

[Hal Wine [:hwine] use NI!]

Note to users of the web interface - currently you can not navigate to these repositories directly from hg.m.o. You must use a direct URL of https://hg.mozilla.org/gaia-l10n/ to view these. Bug 792022 has been opened to track that issue.

Comment 22

[Vito Smolej]

removing myself from the list.

Bye to all.

Comment 23

[Dumitru Gherman [:dumitru]]

[[e-mail]3 gaia-l10n]# for i in `cat /root/bug-768373` ; do chgrp -R scm_l10n $i; done

Fixed permissions.
