1a. Short-term libre-licensing (bug #632411) - Mark + N
Mark was able to spend some time on licensing work, so this aspect
has been inched forward. It is not finalised, but does appear to
be getting (much) closer. An email noted that even after any
decision(s), time will be needed to prepare documentation.
1b. Longer-term libre-licensing - Mark + $others
I've replied to Nic's query above. Dave has forwarded his notes on.
Nicolas has noted that there should be a switch to using a
.orig.tar.gz setup, rather than a native .deb package---thus allowing
a more clear separation between what is upstream preparation work (eg.
sample sheets) and what is pure distro-packaging related. Number of
helpful pointers from Debian 'pkg-fonts' experience, so intention to
sort/separate/merge out the issues.
7b. Write+Include documentation in source/wiki/.deb - Paul, Dave, ...
Good expansion of the FAQs (based on fielding for some /genuine/ asked
questions---some of which were quite fundamental and hard to answer!).
9. Upload to main archive
Blocked: No licence; no source; upstream prep not done; packaging
not done.
Dalton Maag has added some more information which should move the
source/input files along (VOLT/VTT configuration discussion).
AOB
uff-0.68 is still in-hand. Have been asked about webfont deployment.
ETA: "next week"
