Description Peter 2010-06-11 20:07:40 UTC

Description of problem:

liberation-fonts-ttf-1.05.tar.gz downloaded from http://github.com/kaio/liberation-fonts/downloads is broken (I'm unable to unpack it).

How reproducible:

 $ wget 'http://github.com/downloads/kaio/liberation-fonts/liberation-fonts-ttf-1.05.tar.gz'
 $ tar xf liberation-fonts-ttf-1.05.tar.gz 
tar: Skipping to next header
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

.

Additional info:
BTW, link on download location at homepage (https://fedorahosted.org/liberation-fonts/) is broken: it lists http:// twice and is unclickable (http://http://github.com/kaio/liberation-fonts/downloads).

Comment 1 Jens Petersen 2010-06-15 07:30:52 UTC

Liberation fonts releases should be moved back to fedorahosted - it was not intended to be on github.

Comment 4 Peter 2010-06-16 18:30:57 UTC

Thank you. liberation-fonts-1.05.tar.gz works.

But could you clarify last bit, please:

Common practice is to put date into snapshot, not into release and thus it looks like liberation-fonts-1.05.3.20100510-1.fc13 is snapshot before 1.06 - final release. Is this assumption correct?

Also is it possible to provide both liberation-fonts and  liberation-fonts-ttf packages? In Gentoo we allow users to rebuild fonts with fontforge at will and it'll be nice either to have both package or alternatively everything in one package.

Thanks again!

Comment 5 Fedora Update System 2010-07-13 07:36:56 UTC

liberation-fonts-1.05.3.20100510-1.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

Not sure, but I think we should drop date-stamps from future releases
to avoid such confusion.  Peter, I think you can take it as a release
but do report any problems. :)

Agreed - Pravin maybe you can take note of this too.

Comment 7 Pravin Satpute 2010-07-14 04:07:36 UTC

Yes, sure
We will follow proper version mechanism instead of date stamp from now onwards for Liberation fonts.


In next release of it, i will release 2 tarball one with binary (.ttf) and other with source file .sfd (Like we are doing for Lohit)

Thanks
