Created attachment 1498276 [details] Spec file for man-pages-de Current package version is outdated. See the attached spec file for f28. Note that "%global man_ver_repl" always must match the version of the man-pages package in the appropriate Fedora release. This is 4.15 for the current f28 and 4.16 for f29/Rawhide. Besides that, the project page and download location have changed. The patch for cpio.1.po is no longer working. I've tested the build locally at f28.
The version 2.10 has been released recently. It has a new approach regarding handling different distributions: There are now subdirectories like »secondary-archlinux« and »secondary-debian-stretch« for which the upstream man pages are pulled from the appropriate distribution packages. This allows to keep the translations closer to the distribution and not absolutely in sync with Debian Sid, as in earlier versions of man-pages-de. Moreover, the upstream manpages come with the tarball, so the »BuildRequires:« can be almost completely dropped, except po4a. But for the best utilization of the new concept, it would be needed to create a directory like »secondary-fedora29« (and/or »secondary-fedora-rawhide«) to pull the upstream manpages from the corresponding Fedora packages (which I could initiate as an upstream project member of manpages-de). But this only makes sense if someone is willing to maintain the Fedora package of man-pages-de, and build new versions within a reasonable time frame.
Version 2.11 is out: https://salsa.debian.org/manpages-de-team/manpages-de/-/archive/v2.11/manpages-de-v2.11.tar.bz2
Version 2.12 is out: https://salsa.debian.org/manpages-de-team/manpages-de/-/archive/v2.12/manpages-de-v2.12.tar.bz2
This message is a reminder that Fedora 28 is nearing its end of life. On 2019-May-28 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 28. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '28'. 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 28 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.
Version 2.13 has been released: https://salsa.debian.org/manpages-de-team/manpages-de/-/archive/v2.13/manpages-de-v2.13.tar.bz2
Version 2.14 has been released today: https://salsa.debian.org/manpages-de-team/manpages-de/-/archive/v2.14/manpages-de-v2.14.tar.bz2
Version 2.15 has been released today: https://salsa.debian.org/manpages-de-team/manpages-de/-/archive/v2.15/manpages-de-v2.15.tar.bz2
Version 4.0.0 has been released a few days ago: https://salsa.debian.org/manpages-l10n-team/manpages-l10n/-/archive/v4.0.0/manpages-l10n-v4.0.0.tar.bz2 Note, the tarball now contains translated man pages in six languages: Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, French, German, Polish and Romanian. It will replace the current Fedora packages man-pages-de, man-pages-fr and man-pages-pl, assuming you split it into packages with that names (which I would recommend). If you have any questions, feel free to ask here.
man-pages-de has been superseded by man-pages-l10n.
