When we try to go to the following U.R.L. (https://salsa.debian.org/manpages-de-team/manpages-de), which is the HOMEPAGE of app-i18n/man-pages-de, we get this warning: "Project 'manpages-de-team/manpages-de' was moved to 'manpages-l10n-team/manpages-l10n'. Please update any links and bookmarks that may still have the old path". Indeed, the Debian man-pages team seems to have recently decided to expand its project to include other languages: French, Dutch, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese and Romanian. Therefore, the packages app-i18n/man-pages-de and app-i18n/man-pages-l10n are redundant. In order to push Gentoo users to turn to app-i18n/man-pages-l10n, I propose to mask app-i18n/man-pages-de to remove it, after a while, from the global tree.
This has to wait at least until app-i18n/man-pages-l10n has a stable revision in tree.
I do not understand because yet, in the man-pages-l10n-4.0.0.ebuild file, we can read in the KEYWORDS line that several arches have been stabilized.

Indeed, man-pages-l10n-4.0.0 has been stabilised yesterday. I have to think about what will be the best course of action. We cannot do a package move, because this affects all of man-pages-{de,fr,nl,pl}, and we cannot move multiple packages into one. Possible options are: - Mask the separate man-pages-{de,fr,nl,pl} packages for removal. This would require manual intervention by users. - Alternatively, add a dummy ebuild like man-pages-de-4.0.0 that installs no files, but contains a dependency on man-pages-l10n. This could result in an easier upgrade path for users. The downside is that this ebuild would have to be kept for a long transition time (like one year).

From my part, I have submitted a pull request (https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/15367) to mask the package that I was maintaining (app-i18n/man-pages-fr) in order to replace it with app-i18n/man-pages-l10n[l10n_fr]. This way, user would have to do: 1. emerge -C app-i18n/man-pages-fr 2. emerge -1 app-i18n/man-pages-l10n

CCing the maintainer of man-pages-pl. The HOMEPAGE at https://sourceforge.net/projects/manpages-pl/ says this: Uwaga! Tłumaczenia nie są aktualizowane, przejdź do https://salsa.debian.org/manpages-l10n-team So, would you be o.k. if we mask man-pages-pl for removal as well?
(In reply to Ulrich Müller from comment #6) > So, would you be o.k. if we mask man-pages-pl for removal as well? Quoting Marcin Kowalski from bug 696558 comment #10: > yes, i think it's best to override the package with that one, since it > supports multiple locales.
