releases?

[colemickens]

Hi,

I packaged gelasio for nixpkgs/NixOS. It seems I packaged it or last updated it on 2022-06-09.

I am wondering what I should update it to, though. You don't seem to have releases or tags. Also, your last commit is "Starting ...." implying maybe some work in progress?

Do you have a "latest revision" commit? How do you handle releasing this font for places that use/publish it?

Thanks!

I'm in the process of adding Greek and African Latin support. I suggest that you pull from Google Fonts most recent release because this is a development repo. I could make a new Git release but in many ways it is fastest and most sensible to pull from here: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Gelasio

I hope this helps

Thank you for still working on this… I love Gelasio and the Merriweather fonts! And the Spline Sans ones too! :D

Making releases helps maintainers who package Gelasio, e.g. you can enable watching for this repo's releases to get an automated email when there's a new release. Gelasio is a very nice font to have on Linux and other Unixy OS'es, as there are upstream Fontconfig rules to use it as a replacement for Georgia.

In addition, personally preferring the exported fonts in this repo to Google's releases because these ones are hinted.

Also relevant: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_early,_release_often ;-]

Thanks again!

Merriweather and Gelasio have updates coming. I am expecting both to happen in the next month. Merriweather will get improved kerning. Gelasio may be getting a twin or may just be getting updated. I'll look to make packages for both so that it is clearer for everyone.
