  Description     : Elegant sans-serif typeface designed in a single thin weight
Raleway is an elegant sans-serif typeface, designed in a single thin
weight. It is a display face that features both old style and lining
numerals, standard and discretionary ligatures, a pretty complete set
of diacritics, as well as a stylistic alternate inspired by more
geometric sans-serif typefaces than its neo-grotesque inspired default
character set.

This is a part of my Google Summer of Code project on packaging
elementary software for Debian, see
https://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2014/Projects/PackageElementarySoftware
for more information.

Although Raleway is already provided by the texlive-fonts-extra
package, shipping it in a separate package is required to bring down
the installed size for elementary-theme combined with dependencies
from over 750Mb to under 5Mb.

I was told to create a new source package instead of splitting it into
a separate binary package, see
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=753839

Hi,

A long time ago, you expressed interest in packaging fonts-raleway. Unfortunately,
it seems that it did not happen. In Debian, we try not to keep ITP bugs open
for a too long time, as it might cause other prospective maintainers to
refrain from packaging the software.

This is an automatic email to change the status of fonts-raleway from ITP
(Intent to Package) to RFP (Request for Package), because this bug hasn't seen
any activity during the last 12 months.

If you are still interested in packaging fonts-raleway, please send a mail to
<control@bugs.debian.org> with:

 retitle 754784 ITP: fonts-raleway -- elegant sans-serif typeface designed in a single thin weight
 owner 754784 !
 thanks

It is also a good idea to document your progress on this ITP from time to
time, by mailing <754784@bugs.debian.org>.  If you need guidance on how to
package this software, please reply to this email, and/or contact the
debian-mentors@lists.debian.org mailing list.

Thank you for your interest in Debian,
