[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#681330: fonts-droid: Please do also package the roboto fonts

[Fabian Greffrath]

Package: fonts-droid
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I have just read the following in debian/README.Debian:
[...]
- Removed all fonts other than the Droid font family (to be packaged
separately)
[...]

Yes, exact. The other fonts should indeed get packaged separately, i.e. not all
of them, but at least the roboto fonts. If you check out the current git tag
android-4.1.1_r1, there are 10 roboto fonts in data/fonts that we currently
just throw away.

Regarding the README.Debian document itself: Since it describes the way to
create the source tarball, it should get renamed to README.source. And
furthermore, a step-by-step description formulated in plain English is nice,
but to reproduce the creation of the tarball, a few lines of shell that do just
the same would help better.

 - Fabian
