Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Julian Gilbey <[email protected]> X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], Debian Javascript Maintainers <[email protected]>, Debian Font Task Force <[email protected]> * Package name : fonts-fontawesome-free-legacy Version : [5 and 6] Upstream Contact: N/A * URL : https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome * License : CC-BY-4.0 and MIT Programming Lang: N/A Description : FontAwesome free icon webfonts (legacy versions) Font Awesome is the Internet's icon library and toolkit, used by millions of designers, developers, and content creators. This package builds the font in TTF and WOFF2 formats for legacy versions of the font (versions 5 and 6). The package includes metadata files but not CSS files or NodeJS packages. The current version of the font is available in the node-forkawesome-fontawesome-* packages. The webfonts are built in a DFSG-compliant manner from the SVG sources, and are not bitwise identical to the upstream versions. The legacy versions are needed for some other packages including python3-qtawesome. It will be kept in the Debian Font Task Force area on salsa, and will be low-maintenance as the legacy versions are not being updated. The current version of the Font Awesome fonts can be found in node-fortawesome-fontawesome-free. (At the time of writing this, that package is still on version 6, but I hope to update it to version 7 in the near future.)
