Automatic translation downloads grabbing wrong version for BuddyPress

[boonebgorges]

See ​https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5655 for some background.

Some BuddyPress users whose translations are being downloaded via automatic upgrades are getting out-of-date translations. api.wordpress.org appears to be telling them that 1.8 is the most recent available pot file. I'm testing this with pt_BR, but it also appears to be true at least of de_DE.

Some data (dumped out of wp_update_plugins()):

'plugins' payload sent to API:

  'plugins' =>

I remember having a talk with Nacin about how languages are cleared for translation once they meet 100%-translated; maybe this is part of the problem? Could perhaps also be related to the fact that ​http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/buddypress/ does not properly mirror all of BP's branches? (1.8 and 2.0 are missing)

Happy to provide more details if necessary, and please let me know if I've reported to the wrong place.

If a language is 100% translated for 1.8 and not yet 100% translated for 2.0, then yes, a site will receive the 1.8 translations. I'll re-run the script to ensure all languages 100% translated for 2.0 have a language pack available.*

*There will be a public API to query all of these very soon, like this week.

Below are the current language packs available for BuddyPress 1.8 and 2.0.

I think everything is good here. Things are still being fired manually as we've had a few issues when running these scripts non-interactively and I want to make sure everything works.

This indeed was resolved quite a while ago, marking as fixed
