First we should get Bug #16490 and Feature #16534 fixed. After that it should be:
# update the languages.pp in puppet-tails
# run the check script from Feature #16524, that creates the missing languages files
# /usr/local/share/weblate/manage.py loadpo —lang XX —all

This it least should be enough from my side. Are there any changes needed inside Weblate?
Can you shortly list the steps you did in the past to enable a new language?

Thx for sharing your previous workflow.

this is not needed anymore as the list of supported languages comes from manifests/weblate/languages.pp (in puppet-tails).

>- build the wiki
not needed anymore.

>- commit the new language files

is done by ~weblate/scripts/weblate_status.py (Feature #16524) but I haven’t tested it if it really works for that usecase. So we should coordinate together after Feature #16524 got merged, so I have time to debug the script in case.

>- run load_po in weblate shell

still needed.

  • Assignee changed from hefee to emmapeel
  • QA Check set to Ready for QA

We added now Indonesian as additional language to Weblate and updated all components.
Commands we ran:

  • scripts/weblate_status.py # (as user weblate)- check if the repo is in a fine state
  • scripts/weblate_status.py --modify # (as user weblate) - fix issues in the repo
  • cd repositories/vcs/tails/index/; git add wiki/src/; git commit --author "hefee <hefeedebian.org>"@ # (as user weblate) commit things in repository

- Now the repo and Weblate is up-to-date

  • add Indonesia to manifests/weblate/languages.pp
  • run puppet
  • scripts/weblate_status.py 2>&1 | wc # (as user weblate)- check that all components are will get modified
  • scripts/weblate_status.py --modify # (as user weblate) - add Indonesian files
  • cd repositories/vcs/tails/index/; git add wiki/src/; git commit --author "hefee <hefeedebian.org>"@ # (as user weblate) commit new files
  • disable cronjobs
  • python3 /usr/local/share/weblate/manage.py loadpo --lang id --all # (as user weblate) update all components for Indonesian files
  • enable cronjobs again

tests done so far:

But groente and me don’t have experience what to test additionally, to check if everything is in a good shape. You need to do this. Can you also document, what you have checked, so we are able to learn, how to check it the next time?

  • QA Check changed from Ready for QA to Pass

Another test I did was to check out the repo and build the wiki, but I added Indonesia to the list of the langs in ikiwiki.setup. Maybe it would have been better to use the file the weblate ikiwiki uses to buil, instead…

So far Indonesian sites looks fine, so let’s close this.
