I'm interested in packaging this for Debian as it's a dependency of Me and My Shadow (which I'm also interested in packaging). By being apart of Debian it will be preserved, spread and find many other uses in time as well.

If possible, it would be appreciated to include some form of "build script" that utilized the source to build TTFs and OTFs. For instance, with FontForge it's simply: fontforge -lang=ff -c 'Open("Knewave-Regular.ufo"); Generate("Knewave-Regular.ttf");'. Ideally this should be an executable script included in the source repository.

Debian also relies on some form of tarball release. This is fairly easily accomplished with GitHub. Here's their instructions: https://help.github.com/articles/creating-releases/. I'd also recommend removing the TTFs and OTFs from the repository and providing them as additional downloads under a release.

Thank you and great work on the font!

EDIT: It also appears that the source is outdated as the TTFs/OTFs were committed without updating it.
