UGR Cantarell font 1.0.0 "Andromeda"

Bug Description

The font should not be installed by using nested directories, it should use a debian/install file instead. To see how this works, look at the code of the plymouth-themes-ugr project. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntugnometeam/plymouth-theme-ugr/ugr-super/files/head:/debian/

This is important because debian/ Ubuntu may be importing our package soon.

Ooops. Note to self: don't change the branch url right after you start throwing out links to it...

Yep, that link worked better.. Is there any easy documentation on of how to build without nested directories? I am guessing that is the name of the technique i was using when building the cantarell font. That is also unfortunately the only way i know of currently. Although i am not sure that i will be building a lot of packages soon it could be good as a reference to others.

I am guessing the *.install file is the main difference and that *.rules are not used?

It just uses the install file to copy a sub-directory to a specific place. It can either be called install, or <package name>.install. Rules is still used.

see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/

Don't feel bad about not knowing this, I didn't know it either.

I have found a very elegant solution that requires none of these; it actually uses Cantarell's own make files, as they are well-made. Marking this as invalid.
