* Enable woff2 support in Ubuntu too (LP: #1742743) -- Jeremy Bicha <[email protected]> Wed, 26 Sep 2018 20:37:46 -0400 ** Changed in: webkit2gtk (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to webkit2gtk in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1742743 Title: [MIR] woff2 Status in webkit2gtk package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in woff2 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Availability ============ Built for all supported architectures. In sync with Debian. Rationale ========= woff2 is a library maintained by Google to convert fonts from TTF to the woff2 format and decompress from woff2 to TTF. The WOFF 2.0 format uses the Brotli compression algorithm to compress fonts suitable for use in CSS @font-face rules. WOFF 2.0 is a W3C Candidate Recommendation. See the brotli MIR at LP: #1737053. brotli and woff2 are libraries that are technically already in main because they are bundled in Firefox and webkit2gtk. The next major stable release of webkit2gtk, 2.20, will be released in March. It drops those 2 bundled libraries. I think our options are basically 1) Bundle those libraries anyway, or 2) Approve this MIR, or 3) Drop support for the WOFF2 format in webkit2gtk Security ======== I assume we want a security review here. https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/woff2 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/woff2/+cve Quality assurance ================= - Ubuntu Desktop Bugs is subscribed. - No test suite - No autopkgtests https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/woff2 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=woff2 https://github.com/google/woff2/issues Dependencies ============ Only universe binary dependency is brotli (LP: #1737053) Standards compliance ==================== 4.1.2, debhelper compat 10, dh7 simple rules Maintenance =========== Actively maintained: https://github.com/google/woff2 Maintained by the Debian Fonts Team in Debian. It's a small team so it may need co-maintenance help from the Ubuntu Desktop team. Other Info ========== woff2 was only packaged in Debian and Ubuntu very recently. webkit2gtk is managed similar to Firefox and Chromium. So far, new releases are pushed to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and newer as security updates, but the Ubuntu Security Team does not guarantee security support for webkit2gtk. We are going to need to backport brotli and woff2 into main as security updates for 16.04 LTS and 17.10. Packaging is at https://salsa.debian.org/fonts-team/woff2/tree/debian/unstable/debian To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webkit2gtk/+bug/1742743/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
