Is this still needed? ttf-font-nerd is an optdep of starship so the bug #74050 is no longer relevant (or is it?)

this AUR package will be the only package that provides ttf-font-nerd, in which case it is better deleted

Fair point

Hi @MaxVerevkin, thank you for the kind words and advice.

I was going to delete it because at the moment the only package that provides ttf-font-nerd is ttf-iosevka-nerd (see this search entry), if ttf-iosevka-nerd no longer provides ttf-font-nerd (which can be a possible fix to bug #74050), this AUR package will be the only package that provides ttf-font-nerd, in which case it is better deleted.

Now that it seems not only myself is using this package, I will keep the package if ttf-font-nerd is still provided by any official package.

Thanks for this package, saves me 100MB of space :)

And I don't think you should delete it after #74050 is fixed, as it may become useful to workaround future issues.

Hi, this dummy package addresses the dependency problem mentioned in bug report #74050.

I will delete this package only after that dependency problem is fixed, before that I think it is still useful for headless machines. Please do not file another deletion request, thanks.
