Comment (by ken@…):
A quick look suggests that we want the -dist- tarball 19.9 MB, vs our
current 20 MB, not the main tarball (121 MB). The dist untars to
fontforge-2.0-20140101, but where the contents (e.g. Makefiles) have
similar size but different timestamps, the dist is a few minutes later
than the other.
The dist version seems to contain full gnulib, and a present arlib (the
other tarball links to /usr/share/automake-1.4/ar-lib as we have seen
before). It seems to miss contrib/admintools and lots of duplicate stuff
(old-icons, older-icons, several created Makefile.in, and tests look to be
much smaller, also missing a win/ directory which includes a 3.7 MB
libX11-1.3.6-30.5.noarch.rpm.
On my attempt to get to it by pasting the current URL except for the
filename, I got a 404 - that makes it look as if the current stuff is in
releases/ not releases/downloads, but using the full URL including the
filename looks as if it will work : github is becoming as much fun as
sourceforge.
I have not yet tried to build this.
