[Pkg-fonts-devel] Fwd: Re: Sponsor for the Font "Pecita"

[Maison en a Pecita]

Christian,

I tested a binary package: it does'nt work and I must restore the
build-stamp.
I corrected also the copyright file
I sent again the stuff, hoping that this last dput will be treated.

(Also, the binary package is available here
:http://pecita.eu/unstable/fonts-pecita_3.2-3_all.deb)

TY Christian for the time that you spent on my package.

I sent a correction, as follow...

1) Lintian
    My understanding of English let me looking these sentences as Chinese.
    I modified version and description.
 2) /usr/share/fonts/opentype/pecita: yes, true, done.
 3) build-stamp: If you say! I suppressed it and hope the package is
still instalable???
 4) I give the source on http://pecita.eu/f/Pecita.sfd but there is no
connotation with the package.

I hope it suits you: "je suis au taquet'. Do not ask me anything more :§

Regards,
Philippe Cochy
