Debian Changelog xfonts-scalable-nonfree (4.2.1-3)

2005

xfonts-scalable-nonfree (4.2.1-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Standards-Version 3.6.2 (no changes needed).
   * Change to section Non-free/text (the fonts are usable outside X11).
   * Correct DeFoMa paths for syriac fonts. Closes: bug#213883 (thanks to
     CaT <cat@zip.com.au> and Jakob Bohm <jbj@image.dk>).
   * Use local cdbs d-buildinfo snippet.
   * Enable cdbs debian/control auto-update (but only when
     DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS contains "update").
   * Auto-update debian/rules (and manually strip bogus build-dependency
     on build-essential).
   * Add lintian override for warning about installing into /usr/X11R6
     (we build using iMake so are ok, and more importantly we must place
     fonts there according to Debian Policy 11.8.5).
   * Run dh-installdefoma (and dh-installxfonts) earlier, to get the
     configuration files registered as conffiles.

xfonts-scalable-nonfree (4.2.1-2) unstable; urgency=high

   * Keep urgency=high (same argument as earlier release.

xfonts-scalable-nonfree (4.2.1-1) unstable; urgency=high

   * New CVS snapshot.
   * Improve debian/getfromcvs.sh:
     + Correctly handle script invoked from other dir.
     + Bump up version.
     + Comment out unneeded password hint.
     + Correctly invoke by prepending "sh " in debian make target
       getsource.
     + Avoid font fammily Adobe Utopia (it lacks license info).
     + Avoid new font family Ethiopic (it is not non-free).
   * Remove Adobe Utopia from description.
   * Set urgency=high because of removal of illegally distributed font
     family Adobe Utopia.
   * Include new font family Meltho in separate package
     ttf-xfree86-nonfree-syriac. Suggest in other packages and mention in
     their long description.
   * Update debian/copyright:
     + Add license info for Meltho (similar to Luxi license).
     + Add titles to separate each license.
     + Remove no longer required (and outdated) info on packages owner.
     + Remove obsolete notes on "modifications to upstream source".
     + Remove license info for Debian files (only Debian-specific files
       are packaging scripts - too small to copyright IMHO).
   * Repackage using CDBS (instead of its predecessor CBS). Build-depend
     on cdbs.
   * Use and depend on fontconfig.
   * Standards-Version 3.5.10 (no changes necessary).
   * Use debhelper debian/compat = 4.
   * Reword long descriptions to not refer to nonfreefont (old name of
     package?).

xfonts-scalable-nonfree (4.2.0-4) unstable; urgency=low

   * Drop convenience package, and instead have t1-xfree86-nonfree
     conflict/replace it (as it contains the activated-by-default parts
     of the old package). Mention where to locate the TrueType fonts in
     README.Debian and description (and do the same for PS Type 1 fonts.
   * For ftpmaster (who seems to respond only to changelogs, not emails):
     None of the TrueType fonts now contained in ttf-xfree86-nonfree is
     packaged as a "font for the X Window System", but uses
     x-ttcidfont-conf as a "tool which makes such fonts available" for X.
     Having fonts for X and fonts for a wider use in the same package is
     IMHO misleading, and my main reason for separating them.

xfonts-scalable-nonfree (4.2.0-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Switch to using CBS (Colin's Build System). Update build-depencies.
   * Package split into two separate packages (and a convenience package
     recommending them both): The old name suggested the fonts being
     XFree86-specific, when they have in fact more general use - the
     TrueType fonts are not even installed with XFree86 by default.
     Also, it is unclear wether TrueType fonts are "handled by X
     protocols" and thus should be separated from X11 fonts according to
     Policy >= 3.5.5.
   * Fix wrong hints (thanks to John Plond JORGENSEN
     <jjorge1@cs.mcgill.ca>). This closes: Bug#172391.
   * Add README.Debian inspired by ttf-freefont on enabling defoma-ized
     TrueType fonts in X (thanks to Peter Hawkins <peterh@debian.org> for
     the text).
   * Preserve timestamps on install.
   * Prepend 'Postscript ' where Type 1 is mentioned in descriptions.
   * Declare compliance with Policy version 3.5.8.0.
   * Generate Type 1 .scale file using defoma script from xfonts-tipa
     (thanks to Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@debian.org> for the script).
     Install it using dh_installxfonts (and depend on xutils), and remove
     old .scale file in preinst of t1-xfree86-nonfree.
   * Improve defoma hints: Add better shape hints and use sub-hints for
     Type 1 codeset.

xfonts-scalable-nonfree (4.2.0-2) unstable; urgency=low

   * Courier is IBM, not Adobe. Thanks to Juliusz Chroboczek
     <jch@pps.jussieu.fr>. Closes: Bug#129209.
   * Don't know how to remove an old conffile, so just update with an
     empty file for now... Thanks to Roland E. Lipovits (who needs to
     correct his email address!). Closes: Bug#131169.
   * Add Suggests inspired by ttf-thryomanes.

xfonts-scalable-nonfree (4.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

   * Newer upstream source: Lucidus improved and now called Luxi.
   * Use defoma. Change dependencies accordingly.
   * Update description: Both type1 and TrueType fonts are provided now.
   * Update debian/copyright with newer B&H text: Y&Y -> URW++, and no
     longer mention patents pending.
   * Loosen up on debhelper build-dependency again, now that we no longer
     use dh_installxfonts.
   * Install in /usr/share/fonts/{type1,truetype}/xfree86-nonfree.
   * Closes: Bug#136254 - Utopia not registered in fonts.scale.

xfonts-scalable-nonfree (4.0.3-3) unstable; urgency=low

   * Adopting orphaned package (Closes: #127710).
   * Use dh_installxfonts, remove custom post{inst,rm} and tighten
     dependency on debhelper to latest version mentioning related changes
     (just in case...).
   * Rewrite debian/rules to generate debian/xfonts-scalable-
     nonfree.files automatically.
   * Edit debian/control to use Build-Depends-Indep to make lintian shut
     up.
   * Update debian/copyright (package name was wrong, mention my
     adoption, spelling correction).
