Hi.

I think many packages about man-pages in French are outdated. List of 
packages :
- man-pages-fr : v3.03.0 ; last update : 2008-07-18 19:35 ==> the 
2013-05-20 at 15:15, I had written a comment to say the package created 
is empty.
- man-pages-extras-fr : v0.8.1 ; last update : 2008-07-18 19:36 ==> the 
2013-05-20 at 15:19, I had written a comment to say the package created 
is empty, too.
- man-pages-sup-fr : v20080606 ; last update : 2008-08-19 22:11 ==> 
PKGBUILD don't have a function package(), so package will be empty too.

I have found this (in French, in perkamon-fr directory, README.fr file) :
- Christophe Blaess <URL:http://www.blaess.fr/christophe/> : 1996-2005
- Alain Portal <URL:http://manpagesfr.free.fr/> : 2005
- Thomas Huriaux et Denis Barbier <URL:http://po4a.alioth.debian.org/> : 
2006-2009
They used po4a for Debian.
- Denis Barbier <URL:http://perkamon.alioth.debian.org/> : 2010
Perkamon project, to be not only for Debian.
- Denis Barbier <URL:http://www.traduc.org/perkamon/> : since 2011

I think only *man-pages-fr *is useful today, but it need to be based on 
Perkamon project.
Now, man-pages-fr can be found here : 
https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=100455&release_id=1879#man-pages-fr-_3.51-1-title-content
The latest version is man-pages-fr-3.51-1

So I think man-pages-extras-fr and man-pages-sup-fr are very obsolete 
and deprecated today, but man-pages-fr need an upgrade.

Thanks in advance.
