[Debian-in-workers] ttf-indic-fonts_0.4.7_i386.changes ACCEPTED

[Christian Perrier]

I think that it's probably time now to think about building a udeb for
Debian Installer purposes, if D-I still needs some fonts from the
ttf-indoc-fonts source package.

http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstallerGUIFonts explains what's
currently done and which fonts are used: I think that those should be
the ones going to the udeb

I can help for the udeb creation thing but it's actually pretty
obvious:

-add the udeb in debian/control
-create a whatever-anem-given-to-the-udeb.install file listing the
fonts included in the udeb and that's all.

For the sake of it, here's an example udeb entry used in ttf-dejavu:

Package: ttf-dejavu-udeb
XC-Package-Type: udeb
Section: debian-installer
Architecture: all
Description: Bitstream Vera fonts with additional characters for D-I use
 These fonts are based on the famous Bitstream Vera font family adding better
 support for non-English languages. They currently cover the entire Latin
 Ext-A range and parts of Latin Ext-B, Cyrillic, Greek and other ranges.
 .
 This package provides the fonts for use with the gtk frontend of
 debian-installer.



And the ttf-dejavu-udeb.install file:

DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu
DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu
DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu
DejaVuSans.ttf usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu


That's all. The remaining is debhelper magic..:-)


Drawback: packages including a udeb do NOT migrate to testing
automatically.
