[Maposmatic-dev] Automatic Transifex synchronization

[Hakan Tandogan]

Hi guys,


as promised ages ago, I have activated my scripts which push and pull 
translations between the git repository and transifex.

Important information first: I have tagged the source in git before 
enabling git-push, so whatever source there was in git before my scripts 
started running is available via the tag "pre-transifex-autoupdate"

For each repository, there is one script, "*-extract-keys.sh", which 
creates the .pot file and pushes it to transifex, and another, 
"*-fetch-translations.sh", which fetches the translated files and 
commits them to git.

The "*-extract-keys.sh" is triggered by SCM changes.

The "*-fetch-translations.sh" is triggered by a periodical schedule 
(actually, once daily). When I find some time, I will investigate 
webhook integration with transifex to avoid polling their servers to often.

I am reasonably sure that the scripts won't create too many changes in 
git after the initial synchronization is done. Nevertheless, I'll keep 
closely monitoring them in the days to come.

The scripts themselves are checked in into the git repositories if you 
want to check them and validate that nothing evil is happening. For 
security reasons, though, the versions that are running on my local 
Jenkins box are frozen copies so no one can unintentionally wreck my 
build box by committing strange stuff into the scripts :-)

Hakan
