Packaging Hack - A typeface designed for source code

[Shawn Starr]

Hello Font SIG,

I've been in touch with Chris Simpkins about his Hack font, it looks really 
great for code and I use it for my konsole sessions.

Aside from submitting a .spec for review, anyone want to provide comments? Or 
if someone is packaging this already? :)

Thanks,
Shawn

Hey,

I'm looking into contributing to the Fedora Project, and improving my workflows
additionally (store all my configs centrally, reduce manual installation, etc) - would be
great to have Hack in a package :D

I've been mulling over the relevant documentation on the wiki, and I'm going to
work on packaging Hack - should be fun.

Jamie

p.s. I'm not certain if these Fedora mailing lists are like forums, or issue trackers
yet - apologies is starting a new thread is the preferred route.

I'm sure others would appreciate a hack package

Be careful about the licensing, for historical reasons anything Bistream 
Vera derived is complex to express. Modern FLOSS fonts without this 
baggage just use the OFL. Otherwise, since Hack is a DejaVu derivative, 
the DejaVu package should be a good starting point.

It's just a plain mailing list: post a nex message to start a new 
thread, and reply to an existing message to add content to a thread
