Benefit to Fedora

Fedora shouldn't maintain a redundant package. This change would make it easier for the maintainer as well as for the packages that requires man-pages-l10n and man-pages-ru.

Scope

  • Proposal owners: Package man-pages-ru will be retired, and the man-pages-l10n will contain the Russian translations.
  • Other developers: Change the names of their BuildRequires/Requires accordingly.
  • Release engineering: No action required
  • Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
  • Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)


  • Alignment with Objectives:

Upgrade/compatibility impact

When following the plan in Detailed Description there will be no need for manual action. Everything will be handled by the automated dnf upgrade.

Contingency Plan

  • Contingency mechanism: Remove the man-pages-l10n build with Russian translation enabled. Revert deprecation of the man-pages-ru package.
  • Contingency deadline: Beta freeze
