(07:59:29) nim-nim: btw pabs3, I've seen debian packaged old standard (07:59:42) nim-nim: upstream has asked me to iceweasel it 08:00 (08:01:50) pabs3: looks like we haven't uploaded it into debian proper yet (08:01:53) pabs3: whats the issue? (08:03:06) pabs3: nim-nim: ^^ (08:03:17) nim-nim: pabs3: just that upstream apparently did manuaml tweaking on fontforge output in proprietary tools (08:03:39) pabs3: yay (08:03:41) nim-nim: and thus feels a font rebuilt from source wouldn't 100% represent its design (08:04:05) nim-nim: and does not want to re-test with every fontforge release if the tweaking is still needed (08:04:44) nim-nim: so the author asked me to rename the font if I rebuilt it from source in Fedora 08:05 (08:05:17) nim-nim: and I put it on my backpile while thinking about a good iceweasel name (08:05:32) pabs3: ugh. can you send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] explaining the issue? (08:05:39) nim-nim: or about good arguments to make upstream change his mind (08:06:05) nim-nim: pabs3: let me see if I have the original mail somewhere (08:06:27) nim-nim: I personnaly intend to go the iceweasel route when I find the time to look at it again (08:06:38) pabs3: ok (08:06:47) pabs3: ttf-oldweasel :) (08:07:21) nim-nim: pabs3: I was thinking about old standard iced (08:07:29) nim-nim: or something like that (08:07:38) nim-nim: but my naming skillz suck (08:07:38) pabs3: this is one aspect of the OFL I really *do not* like (08:07:57) pabs3: hmm (08:08:39) pabs3: shall I ask on #debian-devel? bound to get a few ideas from there (08:09:17) nim-nim: pabs3: sure (08:09:37) nim-nim: I didn't really tie this loose end so far 08:10 (08:10:07) nim-nim: and IMHO it's still worthwhile to check with the author if he likes the iceweasel name (08:10:26) nim-nim: maybe two distros asking for the same thing will make him change his mind (08:10:41) pabs3: aye
