Bugzilla Bug 153512

I have preliminary ebuilds for Pootle, the online translation tool, and its
dependencies.

ToDo:
- Consider adding apache as an optional dependency.
- PyLucene is an optional dependency, but we don't have an ebuild for it yet.
- Consider adding CVS and/or SVN as optional dependencies.

Pootle 0.10.1

The file must be named Pootle instead of pootle because the downloaded file is
also named Pootle.

Translate toolkit 0.10.1

I placed it under dev-python.

jToolkit 0.7.8

Depends on Kid, which depends on ElementTree, but both are in Portage.

${D} should be quoted, and never add = dependencies on an exact version; use ~
if it's really needed.

Thank you! I'll commit the changes in a minute.

Unprotected ${D} was due to a lack of experience from mine. And I wasn't aware
of ~'s existence; the ebuild(5) man page explains it but the developer handbook
[1] doesn't.

New ebuild for jToolkit 0.7.8

Changes:
- A better description
- Uses distutils instead of python eclass

TODO:
- Inform about maybe installing apache2 and mod_python (won't change anything
on jToolkit's installation itself).

New ebuild for translate-toolkit 0.10.1

Changes:
- app-i18n instead of dev-python (because includes command-line tools, not only
libraries)
- Using distutils instead of python eclass
- Man pages!

Ebuild for pootle 0.10.1

Changes:
- "pootle" instead of "Pootle".
- app-i18n instead of dev-python or www-apps
- Better description
- distutils eclass instead of python
- USE flags and better dependencies
- "pootle" user and group
- PO files into /var/lib/pootle
- Config files into /etc/pootle (too bad the path starts like /etc/portage's)
- Init script! (see other attachment)
- "emerge --config pootle" to create an account in a secure way
- Lots of information output as well as code comments.

People from #gentoo-dev-help made this ebuild possible. marienz, dragonheart,
zlin: thank you!

Init script

Save this as /usr/portage/local/app-i18n/pootle/files/0.10.1/init; you may need
to adapt the path to your local portage directory.

Configuration file

Save this as /usr/portage/local/app-i18n/pootle/files/0.10.1/conf; you may need
to adapt the path to your local portage directory.

pootle-0.11.ebuild

Ebuild for pootle 0.11. The init and conf files can be reused, but must be
stored under files/0.11.

Just renaming the 0.10.1 version doesn't work, because of the dependency on
translation-toolkit 0.11 and because this new version depends on "name" and
"email" atributes of the configured administrator account, while the previous
version didn't seem to.

translate-toolkit-1.0.ebuild

Works OK, but Pootle 1.0 doesn't. I'll post it latter with a patch or wait
until Pootle 1.0.1

Created an attachment (id=123836) [details]
app-i18n/pootle-1.0.1.ebuild

Again, init and conf files are the same but their directory must be named
accordingly.

app-i18n/translate-toolkit-1.0.1.ebuild

Pootle (and IIRC translate-toolkit) 1.0.2 should be release soon.

Anybody still working on this? I'm _quite_ interested in it for xine-project,
so I might be taking a look at it in the weeks to come..

> Anybody still working on this?

You'd better jump in. I'm very far from being a dev and nobody else volunteered
yet.

If somebody would adopt this, it would be great, cause I need this for my
translation team.

New version, corrected 2 things

corrected:
1) syntax error when using "emerge --config pootle"
2) package name (MY_P) (removed rc1)

patch needed by pootle-1.0.2-r1

version bump, and I removed the patch although I don't know if a new one is
required

After installing and creating an account I couldn't start Pootle with the init
script above and haven't figured out why. I can start it with:
PootleServer -p 1111 --prefsfile=/etc/pootle/pootle.prefs

Also the username and password I set up didn't work, but there's a default one
in /etc/pootle/users.prefs that you can use. You need to uncomment it before
starting the server.

Could we separate this into 3 different bugs - one for translate-toolkit, one
for pootle and one for jToolkit. 
IMHO, translate-toolkit should be quite portage ready  as it is standard
python-based set of utilities.

Shouldn‘t you change this line?
MY_P=Pootle-1.0.2

Version bump, and improved documentation handling.

Sorry if I wasn't very clear. That file goes into:

Improved Pootle ebuild

This ebuild addresses the MY_P issue, and has a cleanner code. There should be
no regressions, but I tried running the server yet.

Updated to fix sourceforge URL

Installing recent versions of translate-toolkit and pootle required some slight
ebuild tweaks.  Here's the jToolkit fix.

updated to reflect v1.2.1

Installing recent versions of translate-toolkit and pootle required some slight
ebuild tweaks.  Here's the translate-toolkit fix.  Note that I broke the
pysqlite dependency out of the OR block, since python can be built with
'-sqlite'.  I'm not sure if there's a better way to address this.

updated to reflect v1.2.1

Installing recent versions of translate-toolkit and pootle required some slight
ebuild tweaks.  Here's the pootle fix.

I just submitted updated ebuilds to get the whole pootle stack up to v1.2.1. 
These are literally my first ever ebuild tweaks, so it won't hurt my feelings
if they need another round of tweaking.

Note that to get everything built you'll need the following in
package.keywords:

dev-python/kid ~x86
dev-python/jToolkit ~x86
dev-python/utidylib ~x86
dev-python/python-levenshtein ~x86
dev-python/vobject ~x86
app-i18n/translate-toolkit ~x86
app-i18n/pootle ~x86


Everything installed smoothly and I have pootle up and running at v1.2.1.

cheers.

pylucene is now available in the java-experimental overlay if anyone wants to
update this to use that as your "optional dep".

Not sure it applies, but there is now an dev-libs/iniparser ebuild in gentoo,
that might apply to the final msg issued by app-i18n/translate-toolkit

Correction: it doesn't apply.  Iniparse actaully is this
