Source: texlive-fonts-extra
Version: 2014.20140626-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

I am currently packaging elementary GTK theme en course of my Google Summer of
Code project
(https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2014/Projects/PackageElementarySoftware).
The theme requires Open Sans and Raleway fonts to be installed, and these fonts
are currently shipped by your package "texlive-fonts-extra".

However, "texlive-fonts-extra" combined with its dependencies is a ~300Mb
download and occupies ~750Mb when installed. The GTK theme package is, by
comparison, under 0.1Mb and it would be inconvenient to make it download 300Mb
of fonts as a dependency.

I'd like to split Open Sans into a separate package, like it's done with Droid
Sans. As for Raleway, it would probably make sense to group all the League of
Movable Type fonts together in one package, but you're in a better position to
judge.

I can provide a patch implementing the changes if that's OK with you.

Hi,

you missed a point - we *TeX LIve* will *NOT* split the packages.

If anyone wants to package the fonts separately - in a separate source
package! - I will remove them from TeX Live. hat was all.

Debian/TeX Live follows upstream's collections in most cases
(besides historic ones).

THus, I am closing this bug. Feel free to reopen it as a
	RFP
bug.
