Package: fonts-sil-gentium Version: 20081126:1.02-13 Severity: normal Dear maintainers, The Gentium family of fonts have forked upstream into Gentium Plus. The older Gentium fonts will continue to be available but not maintained. Please consider transition fonts-sil-gentium to fonts-sil-gentium-plus with the newer fonts. Kind regards, Kess
Hi,You are introducing increased and unneeded complexity if you want the packaging for the original version of Gentium to transition to the new one.
Yes, they are from the same upstream but have different features and Unicode coverage, not to mention different names.
So, they should be separate packages.As indicated on the upstream page, Gentium Plus is already packaged for Ubuntu 12.04. Please base your package on this so as not to introduce divergence.
Thank you, -- Nicolas
