I am requesting that the version of package Unifont in Testing, unifont
1:5.1.20080914-4, be included in the upcoming Wheezy point release
primarily to align with Colin Watson's wishes for Ubuntu. Before the
NMU was uploaded to Debian this year, Colin made the following change in
the Unifont package on Ubuntu, for Ubuntu:
unifont (1:5.1.20080914-1.1ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low
* Use maintscript support in dh_installdeb rather than writing out
dpkg-maintscript-helper commands by hand. We now simply Pre-Depend
on a
new enough version of dpkg rather than using
'dpkg-maintscript-helper
supports' guards, leading to more predictable behaviour on upgrades.

The Debian NMU of Unifont made its way to Ubuntu and did not incorporate
Colin's fix, so the upload had the effect of removing his fix from
Ubuntu. The Unifont version in Testing does incorporate his fix, and
closed a bug that he filed on Debian (#659730) requesting this change.
These other significant changes were made in the version in Testing:
* Changed Section: to "fonts" for most debian/control entries to conform
to current Policy; the older "x11" (and now incorrect) Section entries
thus no longer need overriding.
* Updated packaging to conform to the policy version suitable for Wheezy
Stable (3.9.4), notably for the revised font handling requirements.
* Added hardening to debian/rules.
Allowing this update into Stable will harmonize what is in Debian with
what Colin Watson wanted in Ubuntu; it will use a debian/control file
that does not require Section overrides during building; and it will use
hardening.
I am attaching the changelog.
Thanks,
Paul Hardy
unifont (1:5.1.20080914-4) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/control changes:
- Updated packaging to conform to Debian Policy version 3.9.4.
- Section tag is listed for each package; unifont-bin is in
Section x11, and all other packages are in fonts.
- Added explicit Depends entry for xfonts-utils for each package,
as per Debian Policy Manual 3.9.4 Section 11.8.5, "Packages
providing fonts", item 9.
- Added Depends for fontforge to unifont-bin; removed weaker
Suggests for fontforge from unifont-bin.
* debian/rules - CPPFLAGS is now declared and used, for hardening.

unifont (1:5.1.20080914-3) unstable; urgency=low

to add "Depends: ${misc:Depends}".
* Corrected changelog entries for 1:5.1.20080914-2.

hardening.

unifont (1:5.1.20080914-2) unstable; urgency=low
[ Colin Watson ]
* Use maintscript support in dh_installdeb rather than writing out
dpkg-maintscript-helper commands by hand. We now simply Pre-Depend on a
new enough version of dpkg rather than using 'dpkg-maintscript-helper
supports' guards, leading to more predictable behaviour on upgrades.
(Closes: #659730)
[ Paul Hardy ]
* Applied above changes that Colin Watson provided in bug report,
simplifying debian/ file structure and making the Unifont package
more suitable for Ubuntu. The one exception is I didn't create
the ttf-unifont.maintscript file, because /etc/defoma/ no longer
exists on Debian or Ubuntu.
* debian/copyright - updated copyright and licensing information to
reflect the latest source code changes and license agreements.
* debian/README.Debian - minor change now that Etch is no longer
the current release.
* README - updated documentation to cover font modifications and the
latest license agreements.
* Corrected changelog entries for 1:5.1.20080808-1 and 1:5.1.20080914-1.2.
* debian/control changes:
- Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 8.1.0~), per Colin Watson's above changes.
- No separate uploaders.
* Created debian/source/format file.
* Removed debian/TODO file as it referred to defoma, which is no longer used.
* debian/watch now looks at ftp.gnu.org for upstream releases.
* Accept NMU of Christian Perrier. (Closes: #634981)
* Accept NMUs of Paul Wise and Samuel Bronson. (Closes: #697999, #698067)

unifont (1:5.1.20080914-1.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Non-maintainer upload.
* debian/rules: Split and inline "install" target into "binary-arch" and
"binary-indep" and adjust dependencies. (Without this,
"dpkg-buildpackage -B" ends up running the build-indep rules and dying
on the buildds.)
* debian/rules: Also fix so dpkg-buildpackage -j works, and only builds
the font files once.

unifont (1:5.1.20080914-1.2) unstable; urgency=low

private-use characters. (Closes: #584672)
[ Paul Wise ]
* Place the newly compiled fonts in precompiled dir after build.

unifont (1:5.1.20080914-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed unifont.ttf location in defoma-hints file. (Closes: #498874)
* Modified src/hex2sfd to superimpose combining diacritical marks on
top of preceding glyphs in TrueType font as per the Unicode Standard.
(Closes: #497326)
* Modified "cp -a" ==> "cp -p" and eliminated "install -t" in Makefiles
for BSD Unix compatibility.
* Renamed "combining.txt" to "combining.dat" because it is a data file.
* Generated new font/precompiled/unifont.ttf font from the above changes.

unifont (1:5.1.20080820-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Replaced Hangul Syllables block with glyphs in unifont.bdf file
in Debian bf-utf-source package, originally from the Debian
xfonts-baekmuk package (Closes: #495729)
- Avoids license ambiguity of unifont's original Hanterm fonts
- Brings two diverging Debian copies of the unifont font closer together
* Deleted references to and all derivative copies of any Hanterm fonts
* Changed unifont package description in debian/control to mention
that the package now installs /usr/share/unifont/unifont.hex and
other files and is no longer just a metapackage (Closes: #494662)

unifont (1:5.1.20080808-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Install unifont.hex [and other files while I was at it] in
/usr/share/unifont for GRUB (Closes: #494473)
- unifont.hex provides glyphs with no combining circles, etc. and
is the same file as font/compiled/unifont-5.1.20080808.hex
- unifontfull.hex provides glyphs with combining circles, etc. and
is the same file as font/compiled/unifontfull-5.1.20080808.hex.
If editing hex glyphs, this file is the master version to edit;
unifont.hex is generated from this full version -- see uniunmask(1)
for details.
- combining.txt lists all Unicode 5.1 code points that are combining
glyphs, and hence should have zero-width.
- README gives a brief description of the above three files
* Corrected typos in the previous changelog entry.

unifont (1:5.1.20080808-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Added needed Replaces, Conflicts lines in debian/control (Closes: #493711)
* Added "Build-Depends-Indep: defoma" line in debian/control for access
to dh_installdefoma to install TrueType font (Closes: #494245)
* Changed ttf-unifont.defoma-hints file entry for "GeneralFamily"
from "SansSerif" to "Typewriter" as a better match
* Changed dh_lintian lines in debian/rules to use "( ... ) || /bin/true"
so debuild would succeed on a generic Etch DVD installation that
doesn't include dh_lintian in the debhelper package
* Added updates from Ubuntu unifont package:
- hex2bdf now uses additional BDF header lines for better font
description
- hex2bdf-split (originally Dave Starner's adaptation of Roman
Czyborra's hex2bdf) renamed from hex2bdf. Use is discouraged
but it's still here for now for completeness; wrote man page
& changed name of output font from "-gnu-fixed-*" to "-gnu-unifont-*"
- Added Georgian glyphs contributed to Ubuntu's unifont package by
Gia Shervashidze and Vladimer Sichinava
* Merged man page & Makefile changes done by Anthony Fok from Debian
diff file into .orig.tar.gz
* Made minor changes to existing programs in ./src
- unibmp2hex.c: forced double-wide glyphs where appropriate in
U+FFxx range
- uniunmask.c: increased buffer size & hard-coded "wide" variable
to avoid accidentally invoking half-implemented extended
character widths
- unihex2bmp.c: same changes as in uniunmask.c
* Added to existing documentation
- Updated "./README" to reflect changes to Makefiles and add
more information
- Added "./font/hexsrc/README" to describe how to use all files
in that directory to create a font
- Added full font embedding exception to GPL from Wen Quan Yi
* Added improved glyphs for the U+FF00..U+FFFF block
* Removed "./font/hexsrc/blanks-5.1.hex"; it was identical to
"blanks.hex" in the same directory and the Makefiles never used it.
