[Freetype] ITP#3: FreeType 2.0 for Debian (libfreetype6, libfreetype6-dev)

[Anthony Fok]

(Intent-to-Package Take 3, this time added the "lib" prefix).

Hello,

FreeType 2.0 has been packaged and uploaded to Incoming for Debian woody,
hence my post-upload Intent-to-Package (ITP).  :-)  It may be found in
"http://incoming.debian.org/"; until it gets installed, then it could be
found by following the links in "http://packages.debian.org/libfreetype6";.

Note that the files I uploaded last night (when I posted my
first message) had a bug in it: I didn't set the prefix, so
"/usr/bin/freetype-config --prefix" was returning /usr/local instead of
/usr.  Also, I have changed the package names from freetype6 to
libfreetype6 to be more in line with most other library packages in Debian
(Thanks to Takuo KITAME for the suggestion.)

From /usr/share/doc/libfreetype6/README.Debian:

FreeType 2.0 for Debian
-----------------------

Hurray!  FreeType 2.0 is finally here!  :-)  The "6" in the package name
"libfreetype6" is the major soname of FreeType 2.0's libfreetype.

According to the FreeType 2 FAQ,

    The FreeType 2 API is a lot simpler than the one in 1.x while being
    much more powerful. We thus encourage you to adapt your source code
    to it as this should not involve much work.

So please try your best to help migrate your software to FreeType 2.

FreeType 2.0 can co-exist peacefully with FreeType 1.3.1 with no namespace
conflicts.  However, the source package names must be distinguished in
Debian.  So, to make things _really_ confusing, I've decided the following
names for the FreeType packages in Debian woody:

  FreeType 2.0:
      Source package: freetype_2.0.orig.tar.gz        (current version)
     library package: libfreetype6_2.0-?        (libfreetype, soname 6)
       devel package: libfreetype6-dev_2.0-?    (libfreetype, soname 6)

  FreeType 1.3.1:
      Source package: freetype1_1.3.1.orig.tar.gz      (for FreeType 1)
     library package: freetype2_1.3.1-?              (libttf, soname 2)
       devel package: freetype2-dev_1.3.1-?          (libttf, soname 2)

Simple, non?

Enjoy!  :-)

 Description: FreeType 2 font engine, shared library files.
  The FreeType project is a team of volunteers who develop free,
  portable and high-quality software solutions for digital typography.
  They specifically target embedded systems and focus on bringing small,
  efficient and ubiquitous products.
  .
  The FreeType 2 library is their new software font engine.  It has been
  designed to provide the following important features:
   * A universal and simple API to manage font files
   * Support for several font formats through loadable modules
   * High-quality anti-aliasing
   * High portability & performance
  .
  Supported font formats include:
   * TrueType files (.ttf) and collections (.ttc)
   * Type 1 font files both in ASCII (.pfa) or binary (.pfb) format
   * Type 1 Multiple Master fonts.  The FreeType 2 API also provides
     routines to manage design instances easily
   * Type 1 CID-keyed fonts
   * OpenType/CFF (.otf) fonts
   * CFF/Type 2 fonts
   * Adobe CEF fonts (.cef), used to embed fonts in SVG documents with
     the Adobe SVG viewer plugin.
   * Windows FNT/FON bitmap fonts
  .
  This package contains the files needed to run programs that use the
  FreeType 2 library.
