Hi,

2012/2/24 Jon Lachmann <jon@lachmann.nu>:
Pre-release along with language packs are good way to see thetranslation
result. However, it is kind of late to see the translationerror in that
build. Problems are often caught after final releasebecause of the time to
see if translations are well being short.

I think we should have nightly builds, EVERY night. That way we can test out
new features and new translations on a daily basis insted of just before a new
release.

By the way, Key-ID language build
will be awesome to help translators find out which string is what we see. It
will save considerable time for us. I hope it can be downloaded more easily
for translators.

Yes, the KeyID is a great addition, combined with nightly builds of your latest translations i 
think we might be onto something really good!


It is not realistic to release nightly builds with all languages.
* Translators do not update their language daily
* Tree is not buildable every night
* It takes hours to export files from Pootle
* It takes hours to fix build breaking bugs in translations
* It takes hours to build --with-language=ALL (what platforms do you
want? Linux, Windows, Mac? I guess you want them all. :)
* It takes hours to upload binaries to a public ftp/www server

So, It hink it will not happen anytime soon. On the other hand *you*
can always try to build from the source (only your language), it
requires a few gigabytes of space on hard drive and some time.

Also, TDF releases translated builds quite often. Not nightly, but for
3.5.0 we released a beta, rc or a final version in every 1-2 weeks.
Strings do not change - in theory - in the libreoffice-3-5 brach, and
there will be many releases from that branch, so you can keep
improving translations.

KeyID builds were provided with 3.5 betas. I don't know, if they are
still available somewhere. They will be provided again for 3.6 betas
in a few months.

Best regards,
Andras
