The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: e-french, french typography, former published as Frenchpro Author's name: Raymond Juillerat Package version: v5,9995 Location on CTAN: language/french/e-french/ Summary description: professional french typography for TeX, LaTeX and Babel License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
This update is not due to some changes of the run-time parts' functioning. It touches only the manner to present the elements in the CTAN archives. This manner should now fit better with the philosophy of the archives. All run-time modules are in an unique folder that can be put to an adequate TDS place. Documentation occupies also one folder with subdirectories for manuals and sources. Explanations how to install the package are in a third folder.
The [french] part can fully replace both the frenchle one and the FrenchPro one. Because the whole is under LPPL (like frenchle) and offers more possibilities, being an update version of FrenchPro. The creator of both frenchle and FrenchPro, Bernard Gaulle had always maintained frenchle as a reduced version of FrenchPro.
FrenchPro could be suppressed from the archives, its directory beeing replaced with a link to e-french.
In a future time, as soon as MikTeX and TeXLive have also installed this version or one future of french from e-french, then it should be possible to suppress frenchle from the archives,replacing it with a link to e-french. With some explanations, see README, last paragraph.
thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository.
Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/e-french.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/language/french/e-french/
The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) on the web, by tomorrow morning (Cambridge time).
