Upstream appears to be gone. Can we change this to use a github mirror like this https://github.com/andrewshadura/gbdfed ?

Edit: I have found the original tar.bz2 (same hash) and uploaded it to a fork of the code as release. If you change the following in the PKGBUILD it will work again:

Thanks for the patch. Can the package be updated to include it though?

The package currently does not compile anymore. It throws errors on all fprintf saying "format not a string literal and no format arguments".

To fix it you can include a patch from debian package called "format-security.patch" which looks like this:

The sources for this package have changed and need to be updated: http://sofia.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/Software/gbdfed/

@oliwer Hi, you should put something like head -n21 $pkgname.c > "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE" in your PKGBUILD to include the required custom MIT license. Cheers

This is amazing. I've been wanting to make bitmap fonts for years, and now I can! Thank you for finding and providing this package!

oliwer commented on 2011-11-23 20:40 (UTC)

Updated! Thanks OK100 (weird nickname).
