Sorry for not responding sooner, my TODO list is bursting at seams. It seems to one else responded as well... > Our discussion about the package can be followed on the ITP bug: > > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=952954 The main obstacle being the FontLab format problem, and I'm not very knowledgeable about it. Unless there's some free tool that can read that format and convert it (possibly in multiple hops) to TrueType, the font can't enter the main archive. It would be greatly preferred to find a solution, but if one can't be found, the "contrib" archive can be used. For that, you'd change "Section: fonts" to "Section: contrib/fonts". > The package has been released to -2 Debian release with some > improvements. > > Changes since the last upload: But... there was no previous upload. Unless you know of any actual users who rely on your -1 packaging, the Debian scheme is to avoid bumping the version for any of WIP versions that did not enter the distribution. Thus, unless there's a good reason, it would be nice if you could mark the changelog entry as -1. But it's the buildable-from-source -or- contrib issue that's the blocker.
