Subversion Commit Privilege

Some translators may be granted subversion commit rights for properties files within Sakai. This is a privilege which is granted only after a developer has proven to be active and competent in the translation process.

Subversion Commit Process

Open a task in JIRA specifying what you are doing:
- The Component should be Translation
- The Affects Version can be left set to the current release or default (i.e., Unknown)
- The Assign To should be set to yourself
- The Summary and Description should be filled it appropriately.
- Only one JIRA issue is required for translating multiple components within Sakai.
You should check out (or refresh) a trunk version of Sakai from subversion
Update the properties files (and optionally *.metaprops files if you're using the ResourceProperties editor)
Build and Deploy to a server for test
Verify each module appears as expected (and doesn't crash!)
Commit each subversion module explicitly and reference the JIRA issue, for example:
$ svn commit chat calendar assignment -m "SAK-1234 update Japanese translation"
"Resolve Issue" in JIRA:
- Set the Fix version to the latest release (e.g. currently 2.7.x [Tentative])
- If you would like this change merged to a previous release, set that status to 'Merge' (e.g. 2.6.x Status' and re-assign to Beth Kirschner).
Important: Once a JIRA issue has been resolved, you must open a new JIRA ticket for additional commits
