DFSG NEW review for fonts-modern-antiqua version 3.1.0+ds-1
Summary
- Licensing is DFSG-compliant and
debian/copyrightis accurate: Yes - Packaging is of good quality: Yes
- Issues: 0 blocker, 0 important, 1 minor
- debian/watch: absent
- debian/copyright: machine-readable
- Scan before the review: nothing found
Licensing
debian/copyright is machine-readable (DEP-5, Format 1.0). Every upstream file is covered by the Files: * stanza as OFL-1.1-RFN, Copyright (c) 2020-2024 by Wojciech Kalinowski, which matches the four .sfd files (each carries Copyright (c) 2020-2024 by Wojciech Kalinowski "wmk69" with Reserved Font Name ... and the OFL 1.1 notice), the .ttf files built from them, FONTLOG.txt and the shipped SIL - Open Font License.txt. The license short name pointer to /usr/share/common-licenses/OFL-1.1 is valid (file exists). Files-Excluded: .pdf matches the demo PDFs, which are absent from the tree. The .sfd files are the preferred form for modification; the .ttf are built outputs. OFL-1.1 is DFSG-free. debian/ is correctly attributed to Bastian Germann under OFL-1.1-no-RFN.
Packaging
Quality is good. debhelper-compat (=14) with dh $@; Build-Depends on fontforge-nox supports the override_dh_auto_build that regenerates each .sfd to a deb*.sfd.ttf build-verification output, which debian/clean ('deb*.sfd.ttf') removes; the shipped upstream .ttf files (ModernAntiqua-.ttf) are installed via debian/fonts-modern-antiqua.install, preserving exact upstream binaries. debian/copyright files stanza covers debian/. Architecture: all, Multi-Arch: foreign are correct for a fonts package. Standards-Version 4.7.4 matches current Policy 4.7.4.1 in its first two components. No issues requiring sponsor intervention.
Issues
1. [minor] [packaging] There is no debian/watch
- Files:
debian/watch - Basis: found by the review tooling's own checks
- Problem: Without a watch file new upstream releases are not noticed by uscan, the tracker or the maintainer's tools.
- Fix: Add a
debian/watchin version 5 format, or, if upstream has no usable release channel, one holding a comment that says so.
Verified
- Prescan's 8 reported holders are all the single copyright line
Copyright (c) 2020-2024 by Wojciech Kalinowski "wmk69" with Reserved Font Name "ModernAntiqua-{Book,BookOblique,Bold,BoldOblique}", twice each (the FontName.Copyright field at .sfd line 6 and the embedded name-table LangName at lines 1044/1028/1010/1086); all are represented by theFiles: *OFL-1.1-RFN stanza. No missing holder. - No files under .pdf patterns remain in the tree; Files-Excluded *.pdf is honoured by the +ds repack.
- OFL-1.1 exists in /usr/share/common-licenses (4.5KB), matching the pointer in debian/copyright; the shipped 'SIL - Open Font License.txt' is the same 26 Feb 2007 OFL 1.1 text.
- Tree inventory (excluding .pc/ and debian/) is exactly: 4 .sfd, 4 .ttf, FONTLOG.txt, 'SIL - Open Font License.txt'; all covered by the Files: * stanza.
- Prepared-form-for-modification present: .sfd FontForge sources ship alongside the .ttf outputs.
- debian/source/format is 3.0 (quilt); no quilt patches present.
- Every pointer of
debian/copyrightto /usr/share/common-licenses names a file that is there (OFL-1.1).
Not confirmed
None.
