Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Julian Gilbey <[email protected]> X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected] * Package name : fonts-fontawesome-dfsg Version : 7.2.0+dfsg1 Upstream Contact: Julian Gilbey <[email protected]> * URL : "Upstream" URL is https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome DFSG-version URL will be on salsa * License : CC BY 4.0 for SVG fonts, MIT for building scripts Programming Lang: JavaScript for building scripts Description : The FontAwesome webfonts, built in a DFSG-compliant way This package contains the free FontAwesome fonts built as EOT, TTF, WOFF and WOFF2 fonts. They are not (necessarily) bitwise-identical to the official FontAwesome fonts. The FontAwesome webfonts are used by multiple packages, but the webfonts are not DFSG-free, as the upstream build process is private (see https://bugs.debian.org/902981). This package builds the FontAwesome webfonts from the upstream SVG sources (which are DFSG-free). This differs from the ForkAwesome project, in that the icons are the original FontAwesome ones. The package will generate both the up-to-date version 7 fonts, but also legacy version 5 and version 6 fonts (which are used by some packages). The package will be hosted within the Debian Fonts Task Force area on Salsa.
