Hi Dimtris,
I hope you don't take offense by my questions. I am just trying to understand. Also, I think you are doing a great job. Good that you are trying to fix the problems with different VCS:es and all the other work you've done...
However, I do not like that situation where everyone is using all different VSCs. I can just see all the problems that will happen. Why can't Fedora just decide on one VCS for all projects? If Fedora is going to do such a radical change to use many different
VCS, then the whole system has to be up and working before they can do
the switch.
Right now I don't have much time to do anything. Otherwise I would throw everything in one CVS, so people can continue translating as before.
It feels like I don't know which leg to stand on. Install 4 different VCS:es,
just use web download, wait for Dimitris workaround or just stop
translating. Messy.

Right. The first part of the sentence was true before as well -- different
projects had their PO files hosted in different VCSs (the Docs project comes in
mind). It's just that now we (will) have a tool to bridge this gap and enable
both translators and developers to live happily ever after :)
Of course, nobody stops us (or someone from the team to be more specific) from
temporarily dumping all the PO files that interest the FLP in `/cvs/l10n` until
we deploy Transifex.
We're in a testing phase right now. Drop by #fedora-l10n if you'd like to help
test it in the next few days. ;-)
