Pot file on trac (all versions)

[danbp]

Want to mention a curious issue with pot files on Trac. Recent changes for 2.0.x are affecting the whole Trac, which is probably not intended initially.

Actually, all versions are showing on screen a pot file generated of r8832
(tag, branches & trunk) in the Age column.

Also, as example and even if it's an archive now, the 1.0 version contains a pot file generate 9 mounth ago from r7720 in the bp-languages folder.

And all versions have now a pot file at the BP root (outside of the bp-languages folder) generated 7 weeks ago from r8832.

potbot went through and put a .po at the root of all BP tags/branches/trunk a month or so ago, so it's not surprising you find those in any version -- even if the older versions also have a copy in /bp-languages/.

Will let @boonebgorges comment on the rest as I've lost trac of where we are with our glotpress integration and how things are meant to work.

I'm still working with the wordpress.org team to sort out the details, but I believe our goal is to disable potbot (again) and stop storing .pot files in buddypress.svn.wordpress.org. A .pot will be included in BP when it's distributed on wordpress.org, and strings will be regularly updated for translation at translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/. See ​https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5621#comment:15 and follow-up comments for more details.

While having these incorrect .pot files here is a bit annoying, I don't think it causes any active harm. And we should be able to remove them as part of resolving #5621. I'm going to close this ticket as a duplicate of that one. Thanks for the report, danbp.
