  1. Lintian threw a warning for the google fonts thing, need advice on how to deal with that. 

Also threw a few errors for textual.js, it's straight from the upstream and I'm unsure how to fix that.

  2. I have no decision making athority within the Debian Project. You may reject this review if you wish.

N:   
N:   Please replace any scripts, images, or other remote resources with
N:   non-remote resources. It is preferable to replace them with text and links
N:   but local copies of the remote resources are also acceptable as long as
N:   they don't also make calls to remote services. Please ensure that the
N:   remote resources are suitable for Debian main before making local copies

N: 
N:   This package contains a *.ttf, *.otf, or *.pfb file, file extensions used
N:   by TrueType, OpenType, or Type 1 fonts, but the package does not appear to
N:   be a dedicated font package. Dedicated font package names should begin
N:   with fonts-. (Type 1 fonts are also allowed in packages starting with
N:   xfonts-.) If the font is already packaged, you should depend on that
N:   package instead. Otherwise, normally the font should be packaged
N:   separately, since fonts are usually useful outside of the package that
N:   embeds them.

N: 
N:   The original source tarball contains the specified examples directory.
N:   However, no examples are installed in any binary packages.
N:   
N:   Please use dh_installexamples to install these to the most relevant
N:   package, for example by adding the directory name followed by a wildcard
N:   to a debian/pkgname.examples file.
N:   
N:   Lintian looks for any directory called examples under /usr/share/doc in

N:     Reason: 
N:             Some sources like python-tomlkit trigger this tag for tests because of files
N:             in ./tests/examples/. They are not examples for tomlkit, however. They are
N:             examples of TOML files used in the tests.
N:             
N:             Overall, the check is probably better off not looking in test

N: 
N:   The source tarball contains a prebuilt (minified) JavaScript object. They
N:   are usually left by mistake when generating the tarball by not cleaning

P: python-textual-serve source: trailing-whitespace [debian/control:33]
N: 
N:   This file contains lines with trailing whitespace characters.
N:   
N:   Whilst often harmless and unsightly, such extra whitespaces can also cause
N:   tools to interpret the whitespace characters literally. The tool diff(1)
N:   does not like them, either. They are best avoided.
N:   
N:   Some of these problems can be hard to track down.
N:   
N:   Whitespace at the end of lines may be removed with the following:
N:   
N:    $ sed -i -e 's@[[:space:]]*$@@g' debian/control debian/changelog
N:   
N:   If you use Emacs, you can also use "M-x wh-cl" (whitespace-cleanup).
N:   
N:   However, if you wish to only remove trailing spaces and leave trailing
N:   tabs (eg. for Makefiles), you can use the following code snippet:
N:   
N:    $ sed -i -e 's@[ ]*$@@g' debian/rules
N:   
N:   To remove empty lines from the end of a file, you can use:
N:   
N:    $ sed -i -e :a -e '/^\n*$/{$d;N;};/\n$/ba' debian/rules

Summary
=======

A few lintian things.

It would be nice to remove the fonts from the package and use debian packaged system fonts.

  3. Thanks for the Review, Phil.

Apparently this font is being called inside a html file, would a packaged font work in this case? 

Also debian QA on this page threw an error for "textual.js" saying that "source is missing". I'm not understanding what it means.

  5. I’m currently holding off from filing the RFS as the package still has some issues that need to be fixed with some patches, which I will get to soon. 

Once the package is free from errors at least from the perspective of Debian QA, I’ll file my sponsorship request.
