Hi,

For src:cacti (of which I'm de-facto the only maintainer) I received a
bug report in Ubuntu (#2046431) about missing files. As cacti doesn't
ship these files, but Depends on fonts-fork-awesome I was wondering if
cacti upstream is shipping "weird" files or if the files are reasonable
to be expected and are just missing to be build/shipped in
fonts-fork-awesome.

We're at least talking about ./webfonts/fa-solid-900.woff2 and
./css/all.css.

See below for my reply to the Ubuntu bug report.

Did this error only occur after you added the plugin?

In Debian (and hence in Ubuntu) we try to depend on packages providing
functionality instead of embedding other projects in source packages.
For cacti in Ubuntu, the Awesome Font is delivered by the
fonts-fork-awesome package. You'll see that include/fa is a soft-link.

So, I wonder if we should request changes to the fonts-fork-awesome
package. Unfortunately, I'm not experience in how webfonts work.

Yes, that's totally expected.
