Quoting Dwayne Bailey (dwayne@translate.org.za): > Just out of curiosity, did you at all think of Bazaar? Why I ask is > that that seems like it would make an easier integration. Plus since From a user point of view, but that may be less relevant, bazaar is much less easy to integrate and understand than non distributed CVS live Subversion. So, it actually depends on who will interact with the VCS besides Pootle. Fomr the Debian point of view, I see the intermediate VCS as a place to store material that both depends on translators and package maintainers (e.g. debconf stuff, debian-installer stuff, native Debian packages translations). So, not only Pootle would be the one accessing to the material and the VCS. Our maintainers will need a way to access an update the material while they're developing their packages, so probably as a method outside Pootle...hence the VCS. They could probably accomodate a distributed VCS....though I doubt it would be easy for all of them. That would add yet another step to a quite complicated learning curve for package maintenance. On the translators side, we could of course accomodate this if we assume that translators accessing the translation material would be very few, mostly team coordinators. But, here again, part from the very few that would be able to cope with bzr, I suspect that the step would be pretty high.
