If no one objects by Friday, I'll go ahead and merge this, cut a
mkfontscale 1.2 release, and archive the mkfontdir gitlab project.




mmh,
since mkfontdir is actualy mkfontscale with 3 Options already set ...
would it be an option to merge in completly using a argv[0] check ?


After the repos are merged, that could be done, though I'm not sure it's
worth the effort.


ps:are there any users ?


Of mkfontdir?  All of the X.Org font packages use it when installing fonts,
and I'd bet a lot of other older font packaging scripts do too.  (I know
ours do on Solaris, from a heritage predating when we added mkfontscale.)

Let's merge mkfontdir into mkfontscale

2019-02-18 Thread Alan Coopersmith

Maintaining a separate repo & set of tarball releases for a 3 line
shell script wrapper around mkfontscale and its man page just doesn't
seem to have been a good use of time for the past 15 years, so let's
stop doing that.

mkfontscale 1.2 release, and archive the mkfontdir gitlab project.
