What's up with the Debian packages?

FYI: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1043375

As soon as the new crystal version enters unstable, I will upload shards as a separate package.

That was quick.

Excellent news. Keep up the good work.

One more question: Is it possible/easy to patch it with the two mentioned PRs, so we don’t have to release a new patch version just for this?

For the spec errors there’s not problem.

For the octicons, I can’t replace upstream source code to fix licensing problems, only remove. Replacing implies that the source is not pristine, so it violates our DFSG :slight_smile:

If the core team is okay with this, would it be possible to delete just the octicon font files instead of public/vendor/* and re-enable playground? So as to avoid making a patch release just for this. (The playground will be missing the icons but it will at least be usable).

Thank you a lot for the work you do!

I don’t know the policy of the debian project on this, but if I, as a debian user for literal decades, would want to buy you a coffee/beer/bubble tea for the work you do, would that be possible? like a ko-fi link or such?

Better to wait instead of releasing something broken.

Hehe, thanks appreciated, but don’t worry, is my pleasure :slight_smile:

Shards in new: shards - Debian NEW package overview, give it some days to enter unstable, and later testing.
