Package: fonts-taml-tscu
Severity: normal

Hi,

According to http://serafettin.sourceforge.net/ the correct source of
TSCu_Comic is http://tamillinux.sourceforge.net/ - a project seemingly
dead.

Serafettin Cartoon looks like a direct successor of TSCu_Comic, as can
be seen e.g. at a discussion with its maintainer at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479596 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=600108 .

Please consider drop TSCu_Comic and package Serafettin Cartoon instead,
with hinting as mentioned at that last Fedora bugreport to have it
seemlesly replace for previous users of TSCu_Comic.


On a related note, Homepage is listed as the Alioth project page, which
I believe is wrong: Homepage field is for the *upstream* home (not home
of packaging!).


Regards,

 - Jonas
