Installing and Configuring Bazaar
This page describes how to install Bazaar, the source control system used by Launchpad, where we used to store our UI translation files. We now store them at Transifex.
At the moment, we only give instructions for installation on Windows. There is also a bzr package on Linux, however.
If you have not already registered at Launchpad, do so now. Ask Trang (trang@tatoeba.org) to add you add to the tatoeba-maintainers group.
Uploading an SSH key
Go to Launchpad, then go to your user profile page (by clicking on the user icon in the upper right-hand corner of the page).
Click the yellow edit icon next to "SSH keys:". Click it.
If you have not already created an SSH key, you can use ssh-keygen to create one on Linux (for instance, on the Linux VM where you run Tatoeba), or you can use PuTTYGen to create it on Windows. Or follow the instructions on the Launchpad site.
Launchpad expects a public SSH key of the form:
ssh-rsa <string of random chars> tatoeba@tatovm
It does not want one of the form:
---- BEGIN SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
Comment: "imported-openssh-key"
<string of random chars>
---- END SSH2 PUBLIC KEY ----
Copy the appropriate key into the text box.
