Source: mupdf
Severity: normal
Control: found -1 0.6-1
Hello maintainer,
Looking at sioyek I noticed that the binary is quite large, 36 MB. Most
of that
comes from libmupdf.a, specifically from the embedded fonts in that
static
library.
libmupdf.a includes the fonts in the resources/fonts directory. Most of
the
included fonts are already packaged in Debian. The only missing font is
SourceHanSerif. However, this is the same as Noto Serif CJK, which is in
Debian, see #859480.
Additionally, all the fonts in resources/fonts are in compiled form and
the
source is not included in the original source package or added in
debian/missing-sources.
I think this situation violates section 4.13 -- Embedded code copies --
in the
Debian Policy. I am not sure, that's why I chose severity normal.
The solution would be to stop embedding the fonts and add dependencies
on the
corresponding Debian packages. This is easy enough for the binary
packages
mupdf and mupdf-tools. It is somewhat trickier for libmupdf, because it
is only
installed as a static library. I don't know if it's possible to
automatically
make users of libmupdf.a depend on the fonts packages.
Regards,
Victor Westerhuis
