Revision as of 07:02, 9 October 2008

This document describes the process the Babel committer uses to import large contributions into the Babel server.

Submitting such a contribution is documented here: http://www.eclipse.org/babel/development/large_contributions.php

Preparation

1. Make sure the contribution follows the spec, and that is has been approved by Eclipse Legal by submitting it to IPZilla
2. Unzip the file to babel.eclipse.org:/tmp/tmp-babel/import
3. Inspect some files in each language to ensure they are properly encoded. Run/hack convertiso.sh as needed.

Import on Staging

1. su - genie
2. copy the CVS version of import_translation_zip.php to the STAGING web root: cp /home/data/httpd/babel.eclipse.org/staging/classes/export/import_translation_zip.php /home/data/httpd/babel.eclipse.org/staging/html/import_translation_zip.php
3. Edit /home/data/httpd/babel.eclipse.org/staging/html/import_translation_zip.php to ensure the target project_id and version are set (see note, below)
4. 'run' the above file using wget: wget http://babel.eclipse.org/staging/import_XXXX_zip.php <-- file name fudged to avoid crawlers
5. Check the translations using the http://babel.eclipse.org/staging/recent.php

Import on Live

1. su - genie
2. copy the STAGING version of import_translation_zip.php to the LIVE web root: cp /home/data/httpd/babel.eclipse.org/staging/html/import_translation_zip.php /home/data/httpd/babel.eclipse.org/babel/html/import_translation_zip.php
3. 'run' the above file using wget: wget http://babel.eclipse.org/babel/import_XXXX_zip.php <-- file name fudged to avoid crawlers
4. Check the translations using the http://babel.eclipse.org/babel/recent.php

Note: If a contributions crosses many projects, such as those from the JapanWG, simply delete the following line in the SQL statements (there are currently two occurrences of this line) :

   AND F.project_id = '" . $PROJECT_ID . "' AND F.version = '" . $VERSION . "'
