Hi,

This package contains three font files /usr/share/python-qtawesome/fonts/fontawesome5-*-webfont.ttf
which are licensed freely but are not built from source and cannot be built from source
(missing build system). #902981 has the details.

Please repack the package to get rid of these files.

Thanks,
Bastian

Hi Bastian,

I saw you have excluded the files in unreleased 1.2.1+dfsg-1 version of
the package. Are you planning to upload it soon, or are there any blockers?

Best,
Andrius

Hi all,

I have seen this and will deal with it soon.  Have you contacted the
authors of the package to discuss this issue?

I also forgot to push my 1.2.1-1 changes to salsa, unfortunately.
Oops!  But that's history now.

Anyway, a quick check on testing shows that there are three packages
depending on python3-qtawesome: finalcif, openlp, python3-spyder.  I
know about python3-spyder (and it has the same upstream developers as
python3-qtawesome), but finalcif and openlp's maintainers might not
realise the issue and be surprised when they start getting bug reports
about icons missing (or the package failing) - it would be polite to
email their maintainers and uploaders before releasing this DFSG
version of the package.

Best wishes,

   Julian

Ah, I never released that version, so please ignore this comment!
Salsa is fine.

Best wishes,

   Julian

Hi,

No, I did not.

I got the impression that the removed fonts can be drop-in-replaced with
ones from DFSG-compatible fork from fonts-fork-awesome, but I did not
check that. I am in contact with finalcif upstream and could talk to
them, but I would first try the drop-in replacement approach.

Best,
Andrius

openlp is not affected. I know the package and have uploaded it several times.

Either we patch it or do not run it. I tried not running it but end up with a stack trace in that case.
I will investigate on the weekend.

Hi Andrius,

I've been looking at this a bit this morning - I don't have more time
today, but I think that would be a very sensible thing to do before
releasing a DFSG version of this package.  If the ForkAwesome fonts
can do the job, then great!

Best wishes,

   Julian

thanks

I've found out from the Spyder developers that Spyder doesn't use
FontAwesome, so it's not a problem to remove it from my perspective.
See the GitHub issue noted above.

I'm also now looking into the Material Design Icon fonts; see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973617
I also now don't understand why there are two different MDI fonts in
this package.  But that's a separate issue.

Best wishes,

   Julian

finalcif's source has some fa5 prefixes, so the package might be affected.
Andrius, can you please comment on this?

Hi,

Yes, these are calls to qtawesome.icon('fa5.save') and the like. But if
fonts can be drop-in-replaced with ones from fonts-fork-awesome then I
think these icon functions should work as expected.

Andrius

I have replaced Font Awesome 5 with Fork Awesome and have tested it with finalcif.
The icons look a bit different but it works.
