Hi, I have a question regarding the font-awesome v5 [0] and the DFSG.
Since version 5, font-awesome upstream repository contains both source files and generated files but not the build system [1]. So it is not possible to regenerate generated files from source files without guessing which file are generated and which are sources. I've asked upstream about that [2] (but no response yet). It's a bit as if this upstream repository was a tarball containing binaries and sources but without makefiles used to generated the binaries, just being a git repo instead of a tarball file. Considering DFSG #2: > The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in > source code as well as compiled form. is font-awesome 5 upstream repository DFSG compatible ?
