Unofficial Debian packaging for Adobe Source Code Pro fonts

About

This repository provides a simple way to create a .deb file with OTF files for Source Code Pro.

Installation

After cloning the repository run

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc -tc

to create a Debian binary using the common fake suid accessor, without signing changes or control file as we are not uploading anywhere, and cleaning up. More easily, just run

./runMe.sh

and either one of these two will create a .deb package containing the desired fonts.

Status

This is a somewhat ad-hoc package for personal use which I am not even putting onto my PPA. It takes a shortcut in packaging / building as the actual fonts are downloaded rather than made from their sources. That is not exactly how Debian does things; some discussion is at this bug report.
