Comment 1 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-01-12 15:15:31 UTC
Thank you for report. Fixed in the tree.
Comment 2 Paul Wise (Debian) 2009-11-08 12:33:32 UTC
Why wasn't this bug report and fix forwarded upstream?
Comment 3 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-12 18:13:20 UTC
Should it? It's just Gentoo (and probably some other linux distributions) convention to install man pages to /usr/share/man instead of /usr/man, and if upstream cames from dark unix ages it'll be hard to convince them. That said fix is quite trivial so if anybody has contacts upstream and can report this problem there I'll be happy to drop this sed from ebuild:

    sed '/data_files/{s:man/man1:share/man/man1:}' -i setup.py #247154
Comment 4 Paul Wise (Debian) 2009-11-14 03:38:10 UTC
It definitely should, yes.

I'm part of upstream (and the Debian package maintainer).

I've fixed this issue in the most recent release, fonttools 2.3.

If you'd like to help upstream, that would be great since there is pretty-much no-one working on fonttools these days.

Please report any future upstream-relevant bugs to the fonttools sourceforge bug tracker.
