Description of problem: The Czech manpages are outdated. The latest release is from February 2009. For example manpage for "cp" command in Czech does not have information about --no-clobber option. I do not know how much changed since 2009, but ... it is 7 years old! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.18.20090209 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install man-pages-cs.noarch 2. Run: LANG=cs man cp Actual results: The manpage does not contain information about options like: --attributes-only --no-clobber --reflink Expected results: Czech manpage should be in sync with English manpage and the command itself. Additional info: Package info links to: http://tropikhajma.sweb.cz/man-pages-cs/ which looks like the project is abandoned. I suggest removing the package from the repository so that nobody gets confused (eg. looking for an option that is not documented). But maybe I am biased, because I have no problem reading English manpages. For the users that are not so comfortable reading English manpages it could be better to leave them but then I suggest to include visible information in the manpage, that the Czech version is outdated.
Hi Miroslav, actually there is version information and date in footer of almost every manpage, e.g. in cp(1) manpage you can see: GNU coreutils 7.0 říjen 2008 CP(1) It doesn't say explicitly that it's outdated, but I think it gives the users some idea.
TL;DR: I do not agree that the version in the very end of the manpage is sufficient for the users to overcome the confusion caused by outdated informations. The whole story: I think that it is not enough. It was quite confusing for me. I ran "man cp" on a server where I do not have Czech localisation and I could see the aforementioned options. After while I ran "man cp" on my local machine and I could not see them. First, I thought that they were deprecated and removed since my local system is always more recent than the one on my server. But after googling the manpage I realised that the options are still available. Next I thought that Fedora has different fork of coreutils than the other systems. Nevertheless, I tried to run the "cp" command with the undocumented options on my local system and it worked. Then I run "cp --help" and it listed all the options. Only after that I got the idea that maybe the manpage is not in sync with the command itself. So I checked the version of my coreutils and realised it is 8.24 and not 7.0 as is stated in the Czech manpage. I think that it is a standard that manpages are in sync with the application itself, nowadays (since they are usually in the same repository). Therefore I think that it is really confusing when you run into a manpage that is so much out-of-date.
Since I do not think that anybody is going to maintain the Czech translation, I think that the best we can do is to create a final release of the manpages that will have a warning message in the beginning that the Czech translation is not up-to-date and it is not maintained any more.
And the warning message should also point the user to the English translation.

How about something like the following paragraph added to the beginning of DESCRIPTION section? UPOZORNĚNÍ: Projekt českých manuálových stránek není nadále udržován. Tato manuálová stránka je zastaralá a informace zde uvedené mohou být neaktuální.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Sorry for not replying for so long.

The message is perfect! :) > (In reply to Miroslav Šustek from comment #4) > > And the warning message should also point the user to the English > > translation. > > > I'm not sure about this. Should we instruct users to run e.g. "LANG=POSIX > man 1 cp"? I would just add the following to the message above: Aktuální informace naleznete v nápovědě příkazu nebo anglické verzi manuálových stránek.
