(In reply to comment #0)

So, I would propose to split this package up into: * kacst-fonts (packaging everything developed by the Kacst institution) * ae-fonts (seemingly developed by various companies) * haydar-fonts (all bitmap-based)

It seems to me that you didn't cover whole arabic-fonts with your proposal. Together with KacstOne (bug 825955) we could have: o proposed-package-name (families, tarball) o arabic-bitmap-fonts (Misc Fixed, ae_fonts_mono.tar.bz2) o arabic-haydar-bitmap-fonts (FreeType Haydar Unicode, haydar_fonts.tar.bz2) o arabic-kacst-fonts (Kacst* except KacstOne, kacst_fonts_2.01.tar.bz2) o arabic-kacstone-fonts (KacstOne, kacst_one_5.0.tar.bz2) o arabic-naqsh-fonts (Naqsh, lateef.shaikh_fonts.tar.bz2) o arabic-nesf2-fonts (Nesf2, sharif.univ_ttf.bz2) o arabic-ae-fonts (other families, ae_fonts_2.0.tar.bz2) Also, we could move /usr/share/fonts/truetype/sharif.univ.ttf to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/Nesf2.ttf. I would propose following package structure. arabic-fonts package would remain and would require all the subpackages outlined in 'o' proposal.

Ciaran,

thanks for help. What kind of information I should demand from them? It is enough if someone authoritative writes 'this font is under license XY'?

You should make sure that you are dealing with the actual owner of the fonts in question, or somebody with authority to make this kind of decision (an employee will typically _not_ have authority to make such decisions). If such a person can confirm the license of the font, this is good. Make sure you have it in writing. You should ask them for permission to include their writing (e.g. email) in the package itself and you should include that email as a source in the package (install it to /usr/share/doc/packages/<package>/). -- 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.
