Hi,
I am current DM and could like to apply to debian fonts task force and
help to pack fonts-noto to solve #754926, #756456. Please add me to the
task force, thanks.
make command in upstream does not generate tarball for CJK fonts [0].
Shall I wait for upstream to fix it, or just generate tarball myself?

I've updated the package and is already in Git, basically I manually git
cloned and created tarball and noted sha hash at which this was
generated.
One more note package uses CDBS, if you are okay with this feel free to
add yourself to uploaders.
@Jonas: I know you are busy but if you can upload fonts-noto and give me
DM permission it would be great.
If other DD's can upload that is also well and good :).
Cheers,

Oh thats why I didn't find them, in the list. Then I thought it might be
in already included fonts so marked closes for the bug. I will fix that.
And due to the size of CJK fonts (total 419M in upstream
third_party/noto_cjk directory), we might need to separate them into the
following packages:
- fonts-noto-jp (*JP*)
- fonts-noto-kr (*KR*)
- fonts-noto-cn (*Hans*)
- fonts-noto-tw (*Hant*)
Uh 419M? Thats just too huge!. Probably better to make them separate
package? and make fonts-noto depends on it? or suggest it so we don't
end up pulling everything to user machine who don't want CJK.

Cool. Well pkg-fonts lacks active DD's so you might need to wait in the mean
time I've mirrored package on alioth[1] can you access it from there?
Just let me know when you have pushed so I can sync it across to actual repo.

Since #756456 requests to split fonts-noto, maybe it is time to separate different font family. Cool.

I tried to use github, but CJK tarball is too big (~200M) for github. Maybe you can generate pristine-tar/upstream branch first so that I can help to create separated packages? Or we can wait for upstream to fix make command?

[replying only to bugreport - hope that reaches all involved] Quoting Vasudev Kamath (2014-08-03 10:17:24) @Jonas: I know you are busy but if you can upload fonts-noto and give me DM permission it would be great. Didn't look at the code, but sounds like more work is needed to split this package into families - and as I understand it DM permission won't allow uploading that split anyway. Please tell me when that work is done (and then also please help remind me the magic dput-ng command I should do to grant you the DM permission). - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature
