The first thing to note is that the upstream repository contains pre-built binary fonts, along with the build scripts and source files. Normally pre-built files should not be in git repositories, so you might want to ask upstream to rewrite the repository to remove them, which would make the repository smaller, and then attach the pre-built fonts to the corresponding GitHub releases. If they refuse to either rewrite the repo to remove them or even refuse to delete them in the latest commit, then you should remove them using uscan's Files-Excluded feature: https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Repacking https://wiki.debian.org/UscanEnhancements#Deleting_Files_using_Files-Excluded_field_in_debian.2Fcopyright It looks like all the tools used by the upstream build scripts (see scripts/README.md) are available in Debian. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
