Preparations for new cycle
Soon after FinalRelease of an Ubuntu version, it's time to make some preparations for the next cycle.
- Set up translations for the new development version project, and enable synchronization with the translations for the corresponding package version.
- New version number in these files:
- configure.in
- html/Makefile
- html/ubuntu.xsl
Releasing the ubuntu-docs package
Before DocumentationStringFreeze
There are some key steps that should be taken before DocumentationStringFreeze.
Update certain files
- ubuntu-help/C/whats-new.page
- debian/changelog
- ubuntu-help/ubuntu-help.pot
- Run autogen.sh.
- (Re)move the old ubuntu-help.pot.
- Run the command 'make ubuntu-help.pot' from the ubuntu-help folder.
Upload to the archive
Build a source package from lp:ubuntu-docs and upload to the main archive.
If you don't have upload rights for ubuntu-docs, this step has to be carried out by a sponsor, i.e. a core developer. Due to the coordination with the translators, ubuntu-docs uploads are time critical, so adding a bug to the sponsorship queue does not apply. Instead pinging someone on IRC is the way to go.
The new ubuntu-help.pot will be reflected in PO files that are exported from Rosetta.
lp:ubuntu/ubuntu-docs is updated automatically.
After NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline
NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline happens one week before FinalFreeze, so at this point we are in a hurry.
Export the PO files from Rosetta and commit them to lp:ubuntu-docs.
Notes:Download the project's tarball, e.g. from https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docs/trusty/+export for trusty.
- Use the update-translations.sh script to extract the files.
- Update the changelog.
- Upload to the archive.
Generate the HTML pages and upload to help.ubuntu.com (see BuildingDocumentation).
