I am sitecopy maintainer. What would be best in your view: to remove file from sitecopy or man-pages-fr ?

Of course, the better place for the translation of a man page is in the upstream tarball.
And translators will be happy if upstream say "Hey translators! $PACKAGE man page(s) have been updated, could you please update your translation?"
And of course, upstream have to let time enough to translators...
At least 48H, a week is a good time.
I'm the french man-pages maintainer (http://manpagesfr.free.fr), I also maintain some other french man-pages.

Could you please give me an URL for your last tarball?
I want to be sure the french man page you provide is the last translation.

As a sample, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=455277, french man page provided by rpm is older than the one provided by man-pages-fr, which is 6 years old.......

I agree with you completely, But I think as you already own this file in package please keep it (and update if necessary) and I will remove file from sitecopy.

Thanks for quick response.
http://www.manyfish.co.uk/sitecopy/sitecopy-0.16.6.tar.gz is latest tarball.

It is the latest source. May you verify which one is whether man-pages-fr has latest man page or not. 

What say? If you confirm we close this bug then?

Aaah!

Sorry, I seem to have messed it up. Please remove file from your package so that rawhide conflict is solved ASAP. I agree with you that file should be in tarball itself.

Please confirm?

Thanks.

No! I don't agree!
As I said, the good place for a man page translation is the upstream package!

I just checked the two pages, differences are poor but the diff is big ;-)
Big because there are some uneeded trailing space and white lines in the french man pages you hold.
The only real differences are at lines 7 and 493-495 of the diff file.
You should apply in the english man pages the changes I made in the SEE ALSO section (lines 493-495 in the diff)

> What say? If you confirm we close this bug then?

I (or my subsitute) will close this bug as this is a man-pages-fr bug, not a sitecopy bug.

Yes!
sitecopy man page will be removed from man-pages-fr.
By me or my subsitute, but no ASAP ;-)
This isn't easy to find a subsitute to Zidane :-D

Please take your time. I feel I was drunk when I responded initially :-D

Thanks ;-) for patch, I will send upstream, changes required for English man page.

*typo
I will send English and fr man pages as suggested by you upstream. :-)
