[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#731922: open-font-design-toolkit: hardcoded depends on shared libraries

[Hideki Yamane <henrich@debian.or.jp>]

Hi,

 Agreed.


 And this package depends on fontforge, that's dependency is

>> Depends: fontforge-common (= 20120731.b-5), libfontforge1 (= 20120731.b-5), libgdraw4 (= 20120731.b-5), libc6 (>= 2.14), libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4), libfontconfig1 (>= 2.11), libfreetype6 (>= 2.2.1), libgif4 (>= 4.1.4), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.
12.0), libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libjpeg8 (>= 8c), libpango-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libpangocairo-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libpangoft2-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libpangoxft-1.0-0 (>= 1.14.0), libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4), libpython2.7 (>= 2.7), libsm6, libspiro0
 (>= 20071029), libtiff5 (>= 4.0.3), libuninameslist0, libx11-6, libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxml2 (>= 2.6.27), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4)

 fontforge already pulls libsipro0, libfreetype6, libjpeg8, libgif4,
 libuninameslist0 and libtiff5. So, we don't need those hardcoded one.

 libfont-ttf-perl is just perl library so probably it's okay.
 libotf0 can switch to libotf-bin, and once liblais0 can be dropped.

 I'll upload it.
