Hi, It looks like newer build system of fontforge as seen on latest release needs active interent connection to build it. Basically it has a script called bootstrap which tries to clone gnulib From their repository ¹. This is not accepted by the Debian build systems so I wonder how should we proceed. Also the packaging script provided in fontforge under Packaging/debian/cp-src/rules refer to invoking the bootstrap file before it begins the actuall configuration. I'm not really familiar with the fontforge build process and if some one has some insight on these and provide suggestion on how to proceed. If required we can file a bug in fontforge upstream to get more support. ¹ https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/blob/master/bootstrap
