L10n.gnome.org: unable to submit user guide translation to repository due to unknown git error

Infrastructure

Hello,

I am attempting to submit a new user guide Bulgarian translation for epiphany to GNOME 49 on damned-lies, however, I am receiving an error related to the repository and the submission fails because of it. I receive the exact same error with gnome-boxes and gnome-software, so it’s not specific to one repository:

None of those user guides have been translated to Bulgarian before, that’s one thing they have in common. Does anybody know what the issue might be or has had it before? I can’t find anything related to it on the damned-lies gitlab or here on discourse. I’d appreciate any feedback, so that I can submit the translations.

Thanks for reporting! That sounds like Feature: add new documentation (help files) directly from DL when none exists yet (#437) · Issues · Infrastructure / damned-lies · GitLab that was closed recently, but looks like it might need reopening. I have linked this thread from there.

Oh, thanks for letting me know. I didn’t check the closed issues, my bad! I’ll follow that page for the time being then.

Hi both of you!

As I indicated in the issue, from a Damned Lies perspective, I think there is nothing I can do. It’s related to the pre-receive hook that check commits coming from Damned Lies, mainly for security reasons.

Thanks!

Hey Bernard, the issue for resolving this (Cannot submit documentation translation to Gitlab repositories (#2087) · Issue · Infrastructure/Infrastructure) was closed due to inactivity. If its okay can you re-open a new one for it, so that it can be resolved? Its a blocker for submitting documentation and Bulgarian has a lot of core apps waiting to be submitted, I would be really grateful if it can be resolved!
