[Julian Edwards <julian.edwards@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After talking to pitti, here's what we're going to do:

1. Add a new custom upload file type, RAW-TRANSLATIONS-STATIC
2. Store these files in the librarian, hanging off the usual PackageUploadCustom table entries.
2. Expose a new webservice method: IDistroSeries.getStaticTranslations(since="<date>") which will return a collection of URLs to the files in the librarian.

The files are easily associated with the original package because it's
part of the file name.

Optionally, we can add some webservice calls like Celso suggests above.

The buildds also need to be changed to strip these files out and put
them in the build, of course.

Job done.

Bug description:
On the live CD, one of the biggest directories is /usr/share/gnome/help/, which contains localized XML and PNG files. It would be nice if pkgstriptranslations would remove those from packages and put them into the translation tarballs. Initially, Rosetta should just ship them verbatim in the exported tarballs for langpack building. Later it could even support generating them dynamically from PO files and ship the updated ones to the langpack builder.
