Confusion about the Norwegian translation (was: Re: Debian WWW CVS commit by norwegian ...)
Tor Slettnes:
> $ cvs add index.wml
> cvs server: index.wml has already been added by second party
Yes, Tollef already added it back, with fixes:
revision 1.12
date: 2001/11/26 11:35:54; author: tfheen; state: Exp; lines: +17 -2
Translation updates.
> $ cvs update index.wml
> cvs server: nothing is known about index.wml
Since you an own local copy. What you need to do in this situation is
a) verify the situation with cvs log
b) mv your local copy out of the way
c) update to the cvs version with
d) verify your changes and/or cp your file back.
It might not be as clear if you're not experienced with CVS, but now you
know for future reference...
> First, what e-mail?
I sent an e-mail a month or two ago to you and the other people listed on
the Norwegian page, with no reply. Several weeks later, I wrote to
debian-www regarding my findings.
Here it is:

I'm the "Idiot(tm) [that] removed index.wml":
revision 1.11
date: 2001/11/22 21:44:10; author: peterk; state: dead; lines: +0 -0
Removing for now.

I note in the CVS logs when I am uncertain about certain phrasing; you
should be able to find those in the debian-www-cvs archives (just search for
"peterk" and "norwegian" in the same sentence).
But I agree that I should learn to mark it better; sorry about that.

Sorry about that. I did not change the "translated by" simply because I did
not want to imply that I translated something that I didn't. I just [tried
my best to] updated the page.

It was probably too early in the morning, I just was a bit irritated about
being called an idiot (it is easy to check who did what to a file in CVS,
that's one of the major points of having the file in the CVS).
But I'll try to make sure I note whenever I am uncertain about any updates I
do in the future. Hopefully, though, I won't have to do any updates at
all...
