Dear Bobby,
I just had a look through the packagging that I could find here:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-fonts/fonts-sil-annapurna.git/tree/debian
A few remarks...
debian/control:
- You add versioned Breaks and Replaces against a package that is not in
Debian. Why is this necessary and what happens for version numbers (>=
1.202)? If this is indeed an unversioned Breaks, please turn it into a
Conflicts relationship instead.
- Why on earth should a font package suggest a shared library? Please
remove this line.
dirs:
- This file shouldn't be necessary if you install the fonts by an
'install' file, which you do.
docs:
- So you install the WOFF font files into the documentation directory. And
while I find that ugly and close to unacceptable, I have to admit that we
currently don't have any real alternative without triggering fontconfig.
What I'd like better, though, would be if you could install the files into
/usr/share/fonts-sil-annapurna/woff (i.e. without "fonts/") and symlink
the files into the documentation directory. Strictly speaking, they aren't
documentation itself but merely needed to properly render the docs.
Thanks,
- Fabian
