Dear maintainer,

Please consider packaging fonts-adwaita-mono.

Thanks

Hi, sorry to bother.

I received a request to package fonts-adwaita-mono in Debian.

The upstream adwaita-fonts repository contains mono/private-build-plans.toml and
mono/update-fonts.sh. Currently, the upstream script downloads Iosevka 34.1.0,
runs npm install, and builds Adwaita Mono from the custom build plan.

I noticed that Debian already has the fonts-iosevka source package, which
bundles the required verda/npm build environment.

I tested the current Iosevka source package locally with the Adwaita Mono build
plan, and this works:

$ npm run build -- ttf-unhinted::AdwaitaMono --jCmd=1

It produces the four required fonts:

AdwaitaMono-Regular.ttf
AdwaitaMono-Bold.ttf
AdwaitaMono-Italic.ttf
AdwaitaMono-BoldItalic.ttf

My question is: what would be the preferred Debian packaging approach here?

In particular, should fonts-adwaita vendor the required Iosevka source/build
environment, or is there a preferred way to reuse the fonts-iosevka source
package/build infrastructure?

I don't want to duplicate the Iosevka source or node_modules unnecessarily, so
I'd appreciate guidance before implementing the package.
