Comment 2 for bug 1625863

Hi Dajan,

Currently we only generate lagpack tarballs for the _STABLE of a branch, see http://langpacks.mahara.org/

This means if one is upgrading from say 15.10.1 to 15.10.2 but the latest branch version is 15.10.6 they would get the 15.10.6 specific langpack and there could be changes in the language strings that cause problems, eg in 15.10.2 we might have a string 'copymodule' but in 15.10.6 it might be 'copymodule1' so the expected translation string will be missing.

Eventually we would want something like what Moodle has - but before we can do that we need to generate langpacks for each version of each branch.

So the current plan is an interim measure - allowing for admins / deployment scripts the ability to run this manually and to roll back if the update of the languages causes problems.

Cheers

Robert
