Description of problem: This package provides french man pages that are two years old!!! Do you think it's serious? Near two years ago (2003-01-14), when I saw this bug http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66666 I sent an email to Trond Eivind Glomsrxd (teg) to alert him that the French man page translation project WASN'T dead as he thank and I sent him location of the update tarball. And I saw that since two years, the man-pages-fr package is built with those same tarballs. If nobody want to build seriously this package, let me do it! French Linux users need also an uptodate documentation. So, I repeat what I said two years ago: + French LDP man pages are maintained by Christophe Blaess. Project homepage is http://perso.club-internet.fr/ccb/man/index.html (in french, of course) Tarball available at http://perso.club-internet.fr/ccb/man/man-fr-1.58.0.tar.bz2 (You can note that release number is the same than LDP since 2003-07) ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/french/docs/ is a mirror. Please, kick out this url from spec, this isn't the main url. + French non-LDP man pages are maintained by Gérard Delafond Project home page is http://www.delafond.org/traducmanfr/ (in french, of course) Tarball available at http://www.delafond.org/traducmanfr/mansupfr.tar.bz2 There is no version number, tarball may be updated every day...

Attached is an updated spec file I've just made, based on the last available one from the development tree. I've attached it instead of a patch since there are many major changes.

Thanks for your contribution to this package. Hoping it will be released soon.
My apologies for the state of this package, and thanks for all the recent contributions, I've seriously planned to find somebody to maintain it before FC5.
If you don't have time enough, it should be a good idea. New version: http://manpagesfr.free.fr/download/man-fr-1.63.0.tar.bz2
New version: http://manpagesfr.free.fr/download/man-fr-1.64.0.tar.bz2
Note that the current man-pages-fr package contains an "orphan" man page, that is, a man page for a piece of software that isn't distributed by Fedora: $ locate latex2rtf /usr/share/man/fr/man1/latex2rtf.1.gz $ $ rpm -qf /usr/share/man/fr/man1/latex2rtf.1.gz man-pages-fr-0.9.7-11 $ It would be worth checking man pages do not contain documentation for software that is not distributed by Fedora. This seems to disturb users. Or maybe add latex2rtf to the tetex package?
Sorry for a so late answer. In fact, latex2rtf is a package (http://latex2rtf.sourceforge.net/). Sure, the better place for a man page translation is in the source package. But I know that sometimes it is very difficult to insert man page translation in the source. For example, I never got any answer from the rp-pppoe author when I ask him to insert the translations I've made.

(In reply to comment #9) > My apologies for the state of this package, and thanks for all the recent > contributions, I've seriously planned to find somebody to maintain it before FC5. FC5 is released, but man-pages-fr is still 3 years old.
French man pages are now split in two separate tarballs + a strictly conforming to the LDP man pages: http://manpagesfr.free.fr/download/man-pages-fr-1.67.1.tar.bz2 + a tarball to hold all the other french man pages that were in the man-fr-1.67.0 tarball. This new tarball will come soon and will be here: http://manpagesfr.free.fr/download/man-pages-extras-fr-0.1.0.tar.bz2
