A great how-to. I struggled to set up a Pootle Server in Etch a couple weeks ago. I wish this how-to had been available at the time. It would have saved me hours of frustration.

I have two suggestions:
Use “sudo -i” to login in as the user with administrative privileges rather than having to type “sudo” before every command.

You left out the “ln” command to create soft links.

Change:
sudo /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Pootle/pootle.prefs -s /etc/pootle/pootle.conf

To:
sudo ln /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Pootle/pootle.prefs -s /etc/pootle/pootle.conf

@roebek:

Indeed, but you’d install Pootle v0.10.1-1 in Debian 4.0. Ubuntu Hardy does have an up-to-date version.

The easiest way is

apt-get install pootle
