Description:
Actually the PKGBUILD is pointing to the wrong upstream url [1] And the fonts are taken from a tarball hosted in Arch server, but they have an upstream source [2], so I suggest fix the upstream url and take the fonts from upstream rather than package them in a tarball and download from Arch servers... And apparently DroidFonts have a version different to a date.... Corrects URL: [1] Upstream: http://www.droidfonts.com/ [2] Directory with the Droid font from upstream: https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/tree/master/data/fonts |
This task depends upon

maybe unless the fonts change, the version is same as first android version with the cnaged font
but I personally prefer keep the actual version unless the font have some info build-in.
As it the uptream project source and not a tarball that could be modiffied by the host for.
It's likely that there isn't a proper internal source for these either, since it's really a dead project now.

The Hebrew Droid Sans files are missing and so are the fallback ones (not sure what these are). I ran fc-scan and compared the output on the DroidSans Monospace between our version and the one on the google github, and the github version actually had one language removed, whatever language "mo" is, not sure what this is, but in any case it does not seem there are any good places to obtain these fonts that are any "better" or "newer" than the tarball that we are hosting ourselves. Not sure what the resolution of this should be.
They has moved to roboto/noto so our option is just merge the work of both to bring the last shipped product or just drop droid to aur and package instead roboto/noto as a replacement with the apropiate provide fonts-family for chromium fonts needings.

I'm closing this task as upstream is dead.
