Bug#1099597: RFS: fonts-adwaita/48.2-1 [ITP] -- Adwaita Fonts Collection
Kirill,
I saw you uploaded an updated version to Debian mentors so it looks
like you are still interested in doing the work to get this into
Debian, so here is an updated vision of what I'd like to see:
Bastian has uploaded pyftfeatfreeze to Debian's NEW queue. You can
build that package yourself locally. Add pyfeatfreeze and
fonts-inter-variable to fonts-adwaita's Build-Depends.
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer
Update debian/rules with the pyfeatfreeze command from
sans/update-fonts.sh so that we convert the Debian
fonts-inter-variable ttf files to the file names and style needed for
fonts-adwaita-sans. Finally, install the .ttf files we built to the
appropriate location instead of using GNOME's pre-built files.
As I wrote earlier, I think we should follow this same plan for the
mono font. Since fonts-iosevka isn't in Debian yet, we simply won't
have a fonts-adwaita-mono binary package until it does. (Adwaita's
customized build of the mono font is also more complex so it might be
easier to build the fonts-adwaita-mono package from a fonts-iosevka
source package.)
We can upload fonts-adwaita to experimental NEW without waiting for
the pyfeatfreeze package to be accepted first.
As of 49.0, upstream fonts-adwaita is now fully OFL-1.1, so
debian/copyright should be updated.
Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
