hi tchaikov

did you do anything to use the uncompressed pcf?

From Debian guideline, pcf should be compressed,
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-customized-programs.html#s11.8.5
I think it did not anticipate huge pcf files such as in xfonts-wqy.

In order to make rending large PCF files faster (which is quite
necessary in this case), we can either contact a senior
maintainer (or mentor) to obtain an exception (with a full
illustration of the problem), or play with the postinst/postrm
scripts to uncompress/compress the files. The former way is preferred.

PS: will this conversation be posted on Debian bug report?

Hi all,

I have another patch based on Xiyue's work which involves some other
changes in it:
  * debian/control:
    - split Build-Depends and Build-Depends-Indep
  * debian/rules:
    - drop fontconvert.sh
    - use upstream's Makefile
  * debian/copyright:
    - update copyright holder
  * Debconf templates translations:
    - German added. Closes: #408862
    - Portuguese added. Closes: #426454
    - Italian added. Closes: #427207

N.B. the `copyright holder' part is still waiting for confirmation
from Qianqian Fang.
