Package: ethiop Version: 0.7-9 Severity: wishlist Hi,
the ethiop package contains fonts in Metafont format. Meanwhile, Type1 versions (scalable fonts) are available on CTAN, at CTAN://tex-archive/fonts/ps-type1/ethiop. It would be great if those were also available in Debian. Moreover, the upstream tarball of the new texlive Debian packages (see my separate bug report) also contains a copy of ethiop.sty and the fonts, in metafont and type1 format. Generally we, the TeXlive maintainers, prefer to exclude files that are already packages separately for Debian, because it is better if they have a separate maintainer. Because of the missing Type1 fonts in the separate package, however, we currently include all of ethiop. We'd be glad to hear from you whether you want to continue maintaining ethiop, and whether you plan to include the fonts in this or a separate package, so that we can adjust our dependencies. In case you'd rather give up the package (which we'd really regret), please also tell us. Thank you in advance, Frank -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (99, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.16-2-686 Locale: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] (charmap=ISO-8859-15) -- Frank Küster Single Molecule Spectroscopy, Protein Folding @ Inst. f.
