[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#506688: ttf-liberation: Please include the sources of the fonts

[Caius "kaio" Chance]

Hi Holger,

I definitely am not an author, but just a maintainer. :)

fedorahosted.org suggested me to keep it under their
"fedorahosted.org/releases" location:

https://fedorahosted.org/releases/l/i/liberation-fonts/liberation-fonts-1.04.92.devel.tar.gz

Please feel free to let me know for anything.

Best Regards,
Caius
