Re: [voidlinux/void-packages] New package: nerd-fonts-2.0.0 (#13150)

Whoa! `v2.0.0.tar.gz` is more than `2.0 GiB (2,125,832,713)`. I'll rather wait for some @voidlinux/pkg-committers to confirm this PR can be merged.

Way too big! For packages of this size you would ideally have a data package as well since this appears to have executables as well as data.

The package is `noarch=yes` so it will be in the repo once.

@the-maldridge the scripts are only as helper scripts to be sourced by th= e shell in order to render the characters using environment variables (e.= g. `echo $i_weather_day_cloudy_gusts` =3D> =EE=8C=80). The package is >2G because all fonts are installed by the package. I coul= d split it (one subpackage per font) but it would be ~45 subpackages and = make `nerd-fonts` as only a meta-package. Not sure if this amount of subp= ackages would be any problem, but I'm sure users with low bandwidth surel= y will be happy with this.

I am infinitely more likely to entertain this package as a meta-package with subpkgs than as one giant package.

FWIW the resulting xbps file is 256,314,456 bytes "only" :) IMO we can merge this hoping the builders can handle it.

I'm with @the-maldridge here. Also I'm not sure about any licensing issues.

Project itself does say MIT.
