Forwarding a mail from Simos Xenitellis sent to the fedora-trans-list that probably interests fedora-docs list instead. -Dim -------- Original message -------- Subject: Translation FAQ needs update; CVS commands are erroneous. Date: Wed, 05 Jul 2006 12:35:14 +0100 From: Simos Xenitellis <simos74@xxxxxxx> Reply: Fedora Translation Project List <fedora-trans-list@xxxxxxxxxx> To: fedora-trans-list@xxxxxxxxxx Hi All, There are some important typos in the Translation FAQ, CVS section. Specifically, it says that ==== Q: I have a working account, How do I ceckout the files from cvs server? Open a terminal and issue following commands: $ export CVS_RSH=ssh $ export CVSROOT=:ext:@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS $ cvs -z9 co translate Q: What is the CVSROOT to check out the translation files? CVSROOT=:ext:@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS ==== You will notice that the CVSROOT command do not specify the username. Why is that? Well, in the HTML code of the page you will notice CVSROOT=:ext:<your_login>@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS Firefox does not display the <your_login> segment as it considers it as an unknown tag. Therefore, the above fragment of the FAQ should look like (HTML code): ==================== <h3> Q: I have a working account, How do I checkout the files from cvs server? </h3> <p> Open a terminal and issue following commands: <pre> $ export CVS_RSH=ssh $ export CVSROOT=:ext:<your_login>@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS $ cvs -z9 co translate </pre> </p> <h3> Q: What is the CVSROOT to check out the translation files? </h3> <p> CVSROOT=:ext:<your_login>@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS </p> ===================== It's good to fix this issue as it might give pain to new translators. Thanks for A S Alam for helping out here.
