[aur-general] ttf-ubuntu
Hi, the AUR package ttf-ubuntu-beta [1] is outdated and replaced by the packages mentioned below. I'd remove it. ttf-ubuntu-family-fonts [2] and ttf-ubuntu-font-family [3] provide the new ubuntu font. The former package uses a package name not complying with the source filename. Further on it uses strange version numbers and it is built using a source archive from font.ubuntu.com, but uses only the precompiled ttf-files. Therefore the download 2.3MB instead of 0.7MB seems unnecessary. Please consider deletion of ttf-ubuntu-beta [1] and ttf-ubuntu-family-fonts [2].

Did you contact the author of [1] and [2]? He seems to be active, at least with [2]. [2] is older than [3] and has mor votes. Regards Stefan
Hi,
I adopted [3] recently (updated and cleaned-up the PKGBUILD), and
would like to add that [1] and [2] indicate the wrong licence.
The fonts are released under the Ubuntu Font Licence, not GPL.

Agreed, but this can be changed easily. I just informed the maintainer using AUR comments. I'd say you just contact the ttf-ubuntu-family-fonts maintainer and agree on one package to keep (at least with ttf-ubuntu-family-fonts and ttf-ubuntu-font-family). In case of doubt, this might be the package with the better name, but I'm sure you'll be able to agree upon one of them. The beta package should imho be orphaned if the maintainer doesn't want to maintain it anymore and only be deleted if there's a good reason for deletion (e.g. if there are no future beta releases).
