Should we use https://github.com/googlefonts/RobotoMono and git-fetch
instead? It seems more natural than cherry picking some files from a
more general repo.

Would you want to provide an updated patch?

Hi Nicolas!

That git repository had license problems, which is the reason for my SVN solution. There is also https://issues.guix.gnu.org/54323. Unfortunately github meanwhile dropped the SVN support, so my patch is not working anymore.


Bye

Hello,

Thanks for your answer!

Ah! It seems that repository added a license last year. So, this, at
least, seems solved.

OK. I’m closing this report and work on 54323.
