Hi Alan, I have gone ahead and made a Debian package for this font set. I certainly do not want to step on your toes since you opened the ITP. You can use my package as an example if you would like. Or, if you would rather, I can try to get a sponsor for the package as is with me as the maintainer. You can see the packages at: http://www.rubixlinux.org/debian/ttf-liberation/ Thank you, Joshua Rubin pgp1oJFo7jGgl.pgp Description: PGP signature

Hi, I've already made the package: http://technotux.org/dload/ttf-liberation/ (~ 10 days ago), but there is a license problem with these fonts that prevents us to upload it.

Hi Alan, I saw that the license is "gpl+exception" what is it about the exception that makes it DFSG non uploadable. Thanks, Joshua pgpYFxnuXMgEc.pgp Description: PGP signature

Have these issues been raised with Red Hat/the copyright holders? Have they indicated that they will (or won't) clarify the points that make it non-distributable? -- Sam Morris http://robots.org.uk/ PGP key id 1024D/5EA01078 3412 EA18 1277 354B 991B C869 B219 7FDB 5EA0 1078 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
