Hi,
I have a question regarding the font-awesome v5 [0] and the DFSG.
Since version 5, font-awesome upstream repository contains both source
files and generated files but not the build system [1].
So it is not possible to regenerate generated files from source files
without guessing which file are generated and which are sources.
I've asked upstream about that [2] (but no response yet).
It's a bit as if this upstream repository was a tarball containing
binaries and sources but without makefiles used to generated the
binaries, just being a git repo instead of a tarball file.
Thanks for your help :)

The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in
source code as well as compiled form.
is font-awesome 5 upstream repository DFSG compatible ?source code as well as compiled form.
Thanks for your help :)
