[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#1116004: Bug#1116004: Im very suprised for this RC bug

[Alexandre Detiste]

Hi,

I m on VAC till Sunday and my phone data plan is depleted so I ll try to
keep short.(PS: I failed)


There were fears about one year ago that I broke the udeb's generation by
changes done in CDBS. Since then I had been validating changes in CDBS by
running debdiff and diffoscope on the result of rebuilding fonts-noto and
other.

I was happy to see Manuel's MR that would had allowed me to have all of
this further behind me.

I was very tempted to cherry pick from his MR only the CDBS -> DH bits and
revert the web package until next week.

I felt that doing that would had been disrepectfull of Manuel's work on my
part, and I saw no one complaining on the bug report.

What's the tipping point: we now have a NEW queue that works correctly.

Manuel could fork src:fonts-noto to build his webfont package but that
seems a very technicaly bad "legal" solution and I hope everyone will find
a better consensus.

~

I agree this package is just _too_ big (for Salsa CI for example) and the
plan to switch to newer/smaller splitted upstream releases seems better.
But I have a very shallow knowledge of this package and don't know the
orthogonality with the webfonts and udeb package... I m curious of the
outcome and will keep up reading but I guess I won't have anything more
valuable to contribute.




Greetings

Alexandre
