[aur-general] Deletion Request
Please delete the packages ttf-adf: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24551 and otf-adf: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34665 The first package (ttf-adf) is outdated, no activity for 11 months. I wrote an e-mail to the maintainer because I asked him to update or orphan the package, but he has not responded for four weeks. I wanted to adopt the package, but meanwhile I think that the package should be renamed. I first thought that otf-adf would be an adequate name, but now I think that there should be the following three packages: adffonts-otf - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34669 adffonts-ttf - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34671 adffonts-type1 - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34672 because *all* of the fonts are published as otf-fonts, a part of them additionally as ttf, and another part of them additionally as type1. Thanks in advance. Christoph

The naming standard we've used has been ttf-foo, so naturally you should try to follow that. All three can be parts of the group "adf-fonts": ttf-adf otf-adf type1-adf -- GPG/PGP ID: B42DDCAD

That's the way I wanted to go first, too, but then I saw that there is not any package named type1-xxx, but there is a package xorg-fonts-type1 and another one called ttf-indic-otf in the extra repository, so I thought appendig the type might be the better choice. Anyway, if somebody who is part of the TU-Olympus tells me to take a different way, naturally I will follow ;-) In this case please orphan: otf-adf - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=24551 (for the reasons already described in my first request) and remove the packages: adffonts-otf - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34669 adffonts-ttf - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34671 adffonts-type1 - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34672 I will then adopt otf-adf and then upload new pkgbuilds for otf-adf ttf-adf type1-adf all then belonging to the group adf-fonts Okay? Thanks, Christoph
