Hello, I am trying to package the droid font family. It appears to be available only via the android git at: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/android-4.4.4_r2.0.1/data/fonts/ where https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git defines the git repository.
This page contains a tgz download link: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+archive/android-4.4.4_r2.0.1/data/fonts.tar.gz Unfortunately, the file seems to be generated on the fly and have a different hash value each time. The git-reference method seems to clone all of the repository, which has about 1.5 GB. I tried several methods by hand, such as git clone -b android-4.4.4_r2.0.1 https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git data/fonts or git init; git fetch https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git android-4.4.4_r2.0.1 but all of them apparently download the full repository. I also tried git archive --remote=https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base.git android-4.4.4_r2.0.1 data/fonts but the git server apparently does not support this: fatal: Operation not supported by protocol. (and I am also not sure that the output would have a fixed hash). Do you see any solution to this problem? Andreas
