+<PRE>Michael Scherer a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Le samedi 09 juillet 2011 &#224; 14:46 +0200, Samuel Verschelde a &#233;crit :
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I used the --with-man option of the %find_lang RPM macro, but noticed that it
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> adds all /usr/share/man/XX and /usr/share/man/XX/manX directories to the
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> package, which, it seems, is bad.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Spturtle noticed that for example /usr/share/man/sr belongs to no other
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> package and prefers that it belongs to too much packages than to no package at
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> all.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I looked at what fedora does, and it looks like they added all those
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> translated manpages dirs to the filesystem package ( see
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://sophie.zarb.org/explorer/usr/share/man/sr">http://sophie.zarb.org/explorer/usr/share/man/sr</A> and select fedora )
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> It would solve the problem at hand and we could start cleaning wrong
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> ownerships, such as those :
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://sophie.zarb.org/explorer/usr/share/man/fr">http://sophie.zarb.org/explorer/usr/share/man/fr</A> (select mageia)
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Filesystem sound the logical place to put everything.
+</I>&gt;<i> The real problem is to find the canonical list of supported languages.
+</I>
+It seems to me that we should treat all languages the same. But not create
+directories/assign ownership for languages not on the user's system.
+
+So that would mean assigning ownership (to filesystem) when an arbitrary new
+language is added, or systematically denying ownership for all such directories.
+(If readily done, assigning to filesystem does sound better.)
+
+Either way I think the build system could play a role in this.
+And maybe rpmlint.
+
+Since I don't know how ownership is stored, nor how ownership is now assigned
+for such directories, I don't know how we would implement this.
+But it might be an idea, once we decide what to do (depending on what is
+workable), that we have a utility that will clean the users' package database,
+to conform to our new rules.
+
+Another 2 cents.
