Which branch to push translations to?
-
Hello,
I have got to the point where I would like to push translation work.
I am working on Linux and the distribution uses Qt 5.15, so I cloned the 5.15 branch. However, after attempting to dogit push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/5.15I have just learnt that that this branch is closed to public commits. Is there no way to ensure that the translations do get into Qt 5.15 at all? Or should I just do
git push gerrit HEAD:refs/for/devBut then, I imagine, it would only go into Qt6?
Regards,
Kizito

Hi,
Please check this wiki article. It provides hints for both Qt 5 and Qt 6,

Thanks for the tip.
That link is the instructions that I have followed to get to this stage.
It all goes well until the bit where it tells you to post a change on Gerrit. The end result is this:! [remote rejected] HEAD -> refs/for/5.15 (prohibited by Gerrit: not permitted: create change on refs/heads/5.15) error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://codereview.qt-project.org:29418/qt/qttranslations.git'When I did some digging I found this thread: [Development] Commercial-only LTS phase starts: Closing the 5.15 branch(es) on 5th January
Would it be useful if I flagged the translations up as a bug/issue in Gerrit?
Or is it better to give up on Qt5?
However the Linux distribution that I use, and LXQt desktop project that I have been translating are still on Qt5, just preparing to work on going to Qt6. So a lot of projects that would benefit from the new translations will probably still be distributed with Qt5 for some time.Regards,
Kizito
