severity 1077994 important tags 1077994 + patch retitle Arrange man page transition to manpages-l10n thanks
Hello Luca,
during the development cycle of Trixi rpm-i18n stopped shipping
localized man pages, unfortunately I could not reliable determine at
which version (no entry in the changelog).
As stated earlier in this bug report, the translated man pages are now
shipped by manpages-l10n (and probably in the future manpages-ja).
In the latest upload of manpages-l10n for Trixie, I had to remove the
(more current) translations of
ko/man8/rpm2cpio.8, pl/man8/rpm2cpio.8, pl/man8/rpmdeps.8 and pl/man8/rpmgraph.8
because they were both in rpm-i18n version 4.18.0+dfsg-1+deb12u1 in
bookworm and would be now shipped in Trixie without the proper upgrade
path[1].
So Polish and Korean readers will be deprived of these locallized man
page(s) in Trixie, if we don't act now.
Do you think you could manage an upload in the next days with the
following changes, targetting Trixie? If so, please tell me, so that I
can perform the corresponding upload for manpages-l10n. (And this
would be really great!)
And the patch is not very difficult:
