[Bug 1466907] Re: Using wrong repo and homepage, rather out of date.

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I found a similar bug report in Debian, so I have attached a bug watch.
Looks like there was some work towards packaging a newer version, though
nothing recently. :/

Title:
  Using wrong repo and homepage, rather out of date.

Status in fontforge package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in fontforge package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  FontForge is now being developed on github, so the homepage for the
  package should be updated to http://fontforge.github.io/ and the new
  repo is at https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/ . From the name of
  the files, the version in Wily is patched code from 2012, which is
  rather old. Simply updating to the newer code may fix a number of
  other bugs reported against the FontForge package as well, as there
  have been numerous bug fixes in the interim.
