Should I rename scalable-cyrfonts?
Hi!
I'am the maintainer of the package scalable-cyrfonts. It's purpose was
to contain all free scalable Cyrillic fonts I know about. However
recently the upstream of most of these fonts has added many non-Cyrillic
letters to them. Now they cover also ISO 8859-1,2,15 and will be some
of the best scalable Unicode fonts in Debian.
That's why I have a question: Should I rename this package? It is
a three-binary package:
scalable-cyrfonts -- only fonts, but the next version will support Defoma
scalable-cyrfonts-x11 -- installs the fonts in X
scalable-cyrfonts-tex -- installs them for use in TeX
How to rename these packages? May be
scalable-cyrfonts -> scalable-fonts
scalable-cyrfonts-x11 -> scalable-fonts-x11
scalable-cyrfonts-tex -- no name renaming
The last package is not renamed because TeX can't use more than 256
symbols per font.
I suppose that Provides and Replaces should be sufficient to handle
renaming properly. However scalable-cyrfonts-x11 is a task-package, and
its renaming will force corresponding change in tasksel.
