Just to make it clear, it was never my intention to remove or replace M17N. It can stay where it is. The Fonts repo is just a new repository dedicated *exclusively* to fonts. I hope I can convince you that it is still a useful idea. :-) Let me explain it...
IMHO this is our established place for fonts and other M17N related stuff.
Yes, indeed it's *M17N* stuff. However, it contains other stuff as well, not only fonts. I have a use case where I would really like to include *just* a font repo only, without having the risk of including "fishy" non-arch packages. ;) Jürgen gave you already some good reasons why separating the fonts has some benefits. Let me suggest another idea to make everyone happy: 1. Create the new "Fonts" repository. 2. Move all fonts from M17N to the newly created Fonts repo. 3. Aggregate the fonts from the Fonts repo into M17N. IHMO with this idea, M17N works as before and nobody has to switch. On the other hand we have a new Fonts repo with all the benefits. This makes it easy to have the best of both worlds. :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
