MIR acceptance (and review) is done on source level. And approving (another?) "OAuth2 authentication server" in MAIN just for some fonts feels wrong.
I have seen that this seems to be used in the context of TWBS [1] and maybe that is the reason it is a dependency of mailman which uses TWBS. It seems this font is embedded in e.g. hyperkitty (and other mailman3 packages [2][3]) but then packaging decided not to use the embedded font [4] (good) and instead rely on the one packaged (which added the package dependency). But there must be another way - the font is "just" a normal font [5] (despite the name there are no welsh halfling symbols in there). I think to make this MIR-acceptable one of the following has to be done: a) strip the dependencies from mailman3 packages by using a different font b) engage with Debian and break the font into a different package, there seems no reason that this has to be bundled with an Oauth server. I'll need some MIR team members to check if there is this option: c) Do partially approve a source package [1]: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass/blob/master/assets/fonts/bootstrap/glyphicons-halflings-regular.ttf [2]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-website/tree/master/content/fonts [3]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-website/commit/a97d6b4c5b29594004e3855f1ab1222449d0c211 [4]: https://salsa.debian.org/mailman-team/hyperkitty/commit/2f020f3025178d343f20324d6a41f1e918c5f854 [5]: https://www.wfonts.com/font/glyphicons-halflings -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820195 Title: [MIR] glewlwyd as dependency of mailman3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glewlwyd/+bug/1820195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
