Bug#865283: fontmake

[Paride Legovini <pl@ninthfloor.org>]

Just to make the point, I prepared an up to date table of the missing
dependencies for fontmake:

- https://github.com/googlei18n/cu2qu                 [RFP #868004]
- https://github.com/googlei18n/glyphsLib             [ITP #868005]
- https://github.com/googlei18n/ufo2ft                [RFP #868006]
  - https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools            [OK]
  - https://github.com/googlei18n/compreffor          [MISSING]
- https://github.com/LettError/MutatorMath            [ITP #806503]
  - https://github.com/typesupply/fontMath            [ITP #806514]
  - https://github.com/unified-font-object/ufoLib     [ITP #870878]
- https://github.com/typemytype/booleanOperations.git [RFP #806516]
- https://github.com/typesupply/defcon.git            [ITP #806513]

All the ITPs are owned by Yao Wei, who is doing a great work in
packaging most of fontmake's dependencies. I'll try to take care of some
of the missing ones, if nobody is already working on them.

I'm interested in fontmake as I maintain the fonts-hack package
(together with Fabian Greffrath). Starting from the soon to be released
version 3, this font will be distributed together with a build script
based on fontmake. This means that it will be finally possible to
distribute a source package for Hack that builds to a binary package,
making it a truly FLOSS font.

Kind regards,

Paride
