Hello Martina, hello Utkarsh, until today no new version of net-tools has been released.
In two weeks I intend to release manpages-l10n with the translated man
pages from net-tools included.
If upstream has not released a new version without the translated man
pages, you will need to remove them during build time.
As per [1] we need to coordinate our uplaods.
Are you able to make such an upload on or around 2025-09-27?
If so, which version will you use for the next upload (without the
localized man pages)?
Thanks!
Greetings
Helge
