The archive has no COPYING file or other allusion about the license. Every executable script should have man pages. The scripts should print the messages about the "usage: xxx". It would be not bad that there were Makefile with an "install" and "uninstall" targets. There should be the documentation in the same archive. Indeed. Cheers, Denis Moyogo Jacquerye

Yes, packaging xgridfit would be useful. It is already required to generate Junicode with all the features. Currently the ttf-junicode package lacks hinting. I know, because there's no xgridfit... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-junicode/+bug/117214 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=428034 Other fonts like Old Standard also use xgridfit for hinting. And where do they take xgridfit from? From what I understand a path in one of the scripts would need to be changed. What is wrong with the upstream package regarding packaging? Which path, what script, which package? Yours, Guerkan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But this bug would be retitled to ITP and reassigned to the new xgridfit package. The current state of the xgridfit archives on sourceforge.net are not very good for packaging, but we can ask the upstream to fix these problems and we can do the new package for Debian. What does Debian fonts packaging team think about xgridfit? Would this package be useful for Debian? Yes, packaging xgridfit would be useful. It is already required to generate Junicode with all the features. Currently the ttf-junicode package lacks hinting. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ttf-junicode/+bug/117214 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=428034 Other fonts like Old Standard also use xgridfit for hinting. It is a great way to hint a font, it makes things a lot easier to work, read, and modify. From what I understand a path in one of the scripts would need to be changed. What is wrong with the upstream package regarding packaging? Cheers, Denis Moyogo Jacquerye
