As mentioned by Jean-Baptiste, the perkamon project usually handled the french translation of manpages as a cross-distro effort. We would need to figure out how to stay in sync so it can benefit everyone. > > Please keep Tobias (and me) in the CC loop for the discussion. I also > CC'ed the manpages-fr maintainers. According to #873266 and #832385, both maintainers are unavailable. I'm willing to (learn how to) maintain this package and taffit kindly agreed to do the uploading magic (I'm a non-up DD). Thanks a lot Helge and Tobias! Thomas
