Looking at http://www.study-area.org/apt/firefly-font/, I see the files AUTHORS, COPYRIGHT, and ChangeLog, which would all be appropriate for putting in the .orig.tar.gz along with the .ttf file. The .ttf file should not be gzip-compressed in the tarball, as this is redundant. However, the ideal situation is that you convince the upstream maintainer to create tarballs of their releases. It's desirable that packages are build from pristine .orig.tar.gz from upstream, and it will make your job easier, and will potentially benefit other users of the font. -- Dafydd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
