Opening the magic box of l10n admin stuff:<\/p>\n

We’re doing sign-offs, y’know? Localizers hit the l10n dashboard and click a button to say “this revision is good to ship”. Which is cool, because then they don’t need approval for every patch for release branch fixes.<\/p>\n

And I’m reviewing the signoffs. Sounds all good, and well proven.<\/p>\n

Enter the new release cycle. What’s new? This is a small update, on a quick turnaround. So I can’t do what I did for previous releases, and just not review the first sign-off. That was just an early beta (for most locales) and had a 1000 new strings. Sounded fair. Anyway, now we’re just doing 30 strings, so doing an incremental review against what’s on 4.0.1 is in order. So what does that mean?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I need to get the revision that we’re shipping on 4.0.1. For sign-offs that update one branch, that’s all hooked up in the UI, but not for 4.0.x to 5. That’s bug 655943<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. The revision on 4.0.1 is on l10n-mozilla-2.0, the signoff on 5 is on a revision of l10n\/mozilla-aurora. Neither need to exist in the other repo, so you can’t just use plain hg commands on a repo. That’s bug 655942<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now, I wouldn’t be me if I wouldn’t script myself out of it, here’s the gist of it<\/a>. And yes, this blog post is as much code comments as there are for that one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
