Hi all, I have a couple of questions about how to change the package name of a font to respect the team name policy. Feel free to point me to a link if it's already explained somewhere! The package I'm working with it's gw-fonts-ttf: this source package provide the binary ttf-georgewilliams which provides this fonts: Caslon.ttf Caliban.ttf Cupola.ttf According to [1], it should be renamed as fonts-<name> or fonts-<foundry>-name. I guess in this case it should be fonts-georgewilliams. 1. Do I have to rename only the source package? Or also the binary? And in this case: how do I do it, and what is the suggested name? 2. Changing the name of the package means, if I'm not wrong, to also create a dummy package with the old name in order to provide a gentle transition. Is it ok to follow "Method 2" in this page [2] or is a preferred method to do it with fonts? 3. Do I have to change also the repository name? And if so, how do I do that? Ok, I think that's all about names :) Thanks again for your patience, I'm learning a lot from your replies!
