Structure for categories representing versions of the software

[joubu]

This is a follow-up for #9556
First, thanks a lot for the "categories" structure. It seems to answer our needs!

However I found several inconsistencies (at least it's how I see things). I am opening this discussion to get feedback on the different points below, I can report them separately with issues if they are confirmed and it's not me misunderstanding how it is supposed to work.

I have the following structure:
project: "koha" > category: "master" > component: "installer"
→ It represents the po file of our installer module for the master branch.
The plan is to have one category per version (23.11, 23.05, etc.) and all our po files under each of them.

1. I created the first component for master, all went well. Now I would like to create another one ("messages") and reuse the same repo (it's not conceivable to have one clone per component). The creation form is not allowing weblate://koha/master%252Finstaller how I would have expected, but only weblate://koha/installer. Which does not make sense for us, as the "installer" components will have to track different branches.
2. GET /api/components/koha/master%252Finstaller/' returns a link to the category "category": "http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/categories/1/". But when I try to reuse it to create a new component using the REST API I get {"category":["Invalid hyperlink - Object does not exist."]}
   What am I supposed to use?
3. Just a note here, that might be related: GET /api/components/koha/master%252Finstaller/repository/ returns "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/components/koha/installer/repository/",, but this url returns a 404.

4. I have used wlc to download translations.
   You can download the translations for all the languages: wlc download koha/master%252Finstaller --output o
   or download a specific file for a given language:wlc download koha/master%252Finstaller/es --output o.

But wlc download koha/master/es --output o is not working. Should I report it there (wlc), here, or is it a known limitation?

2. Bug, fixed in api: Fixed creating a categorized component #10115

Excellent! It's now working with weblate://koha/master/installer indeed.

2. Bug, fixed in [api: Fixed creating a categorized component #10115](https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/pull/10115)

Confirmed!

3. Bug, fixed in [api: Fixed some API URLs for categorized components #10114](https://github.com/WeblateOrg/weblate/pull/10114)

Tested nijel/api-repo and it's working as expected now.

4. There currently is no such API endpoint.

I will fetch them one by one then.

Thanks a lot of your time and your quick fixes, I really appreciate it!
