Subject: O: xfs-xtt -- X-TrueType font server

Date: Sun, 19 Jun 2005 14:46:12 +0900

Package: wnpp
Serverity: normal

 I intend to orphan the xfs-xtt package.

Description: X-TrueType font server
 This package provide X-TrueType font server. This is compatible  normal X
 font server, but added X-TrueType font handling scheme support instead of
 FreeType backend. XFree86 4.0's font server can handle TrueType too, but it
 can not handle TTCap. By using TTCap description, support for font
 transformations, such as slanting, adjusting glyph width, pseudo-bolding, etc.
 .
 xfs-xtt is a daemon that listens on a network port and serves X fonts to X
 servers (and thus to X clients).  All X servers have the ability to serve
 locally installed fonts for themselves, but xfs makes it possible to offload
 that job from the X server, and/or have a central repository of fonts on a
 networked machine running xfs so that all the machines running X servers on
 a network do not require their own set of fonts.  xfs may also be invoked
 by users to, for instance, make available X fonts in user accounts that
 are not available to the X server or to an already running system xfs-xtt.


Note:
   After the xorg package is uploaded, I'll remove this package from sid
  when no one take over this package. Because...

 * Current xfree86's xfs package can handle TrueType fonts (but can not
   handle TTCap).

 * xorg's libXfont unified X-TrueType engine to FreeType engine.

   xorg's xfs also can handle TrueType fonts and can handle TTCap
   description. So, it is possible to replace the xfs-xtt.

 * xfs-xtt use X-TrueType engine. Maintenance of the X-TrueType
   engine has already stopped considerably before. Old X-TrueType
   engine code was dropped from source tree (on both xfree86 and xorg)

Given that xorg is now in testing, perhaps it is time to remove xfs-xtt?

Thanks,

X.Org has been in testing for a while, so I think we should remove
xfs-xtt.

Thanks,

Subject: Bug#314882: fixed

Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2005 15:31:16 -0700

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:

   xfs-xtt | 1:1.3.0.xf420-4 | hurd-i386
   xfs-xtt | 1:1.4.1.xf430-6 | source, alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it).  Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive (ftp-master.debian.org) and will not propagate to any
mirrors (ftp.debian.org included) until the next cron.daily run at the
earliest.

Packages are never removed from testing by hand.  Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems.

Bugs which have been reported against this package are not automatically
removed from the Bug Tracking System.  Please check all open bugs and
close them or re-assign them to another package if the removed package
was superseded by another one.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 314882@bugs.debian.org.

This message was generated automatically; if you believe that there is
a problem with it please contact the archive administrators by mailing
ftpmaster@debian.org.
