I asked the French and portuguese translators if they could update
their files until next weekend.
Next I tried add the man page to the package. While doing so, I
noticed two things:
a) There are more translated man pages not shipped.
b) I don't understand the CUPS build system.
For a) I tried the following:
diff --git a/debian/rules b/debian/rules
index 4f1c8424c..4c306843f 100755

However, running
fakeroot make -f debian/rules binary
ends in:
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'debian/cups-ipp-utils/usr/share/man/de/man7/ippeveps.7': No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [debian/rules:98: override_dh_installman] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/cups'
make: *** [debian/rules:24: binary] Error 2
The error message is correct, because
debian/cups-ipp-utils/usr/share/man/de/man7/ippevepcl.7 does
not exist. Even debian/cups-ipp-utils/usr/share/man/de/man7/ does not
exist? However, man/de/ippevepcl.7 exists and looks fine.
This leads me to b)
I've seen quite a few build systems, but I have no idea which magic
fails here.
If you have some spare moments it would be great if you could add the
missing pieces.
Greetings
Helge
