Dear all, As some of you may know, after more than a month of consultation, feedback and tweaking new font packaging guidelines have been approved by FESCO. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_packaging_automation_(2008-11-18) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_fonts_policy_package http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Simple_fonts_spec_template http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_for_multiple_fonts New font packages in review must now conform to the new templates, and current packages be converted in rawhide by their maintainers. To track the conversion progress I will henceforth file tickets in bugzilla. The following packages have already been converted in rawhide and can serve as examples if the templates in the fontpackages-devel package are not clear enough: ❄ andika-fonts ❄ apanov-heuristica-fonts ❄ bitstream-vera-fonts ❄ charis-fonts ❄ dejavu-fonts ❄ ecolier-court-fonts ❄ edrip-fonts ❄ gfs-ambrosia-fonts ❄ gfs-artemisia-fonts ❄ gfs-baskerville-fonts ❄ gfs-bodoni-classic-fonts ❄ gfs-bodoni-fonts ❄ gfs-complutum-fonts ❄ gfs-didot-classic-fonts ❄ gfs-didot-fonts ❄ gfs-eustace-fonts ❄ gfs-fleischman-fonts ❄ gfs-garaldus-fonts ❄ gfs-gazis-fonts ❄ gfs-jackson-fonts ❄ gfs-neohellenic-fonts ❄ gfs-nicefore-fonts ❄ gfs-olga-fonts ❄ gfs-porson-fonts ❄ gfs-solomos-fonts ❄ gfs-theokritos-fonts ❄ stix-fonts ❄ yanone-kaffeesatz-fonts Note that the discussed renames and splits have not been submitted for approval yet (I'm waiting for the rename process to be clarified), so the current change is purely technical. Nevertheless the new templates make creation of sub-packages considerably easier and safer, so I advice packagers to perform a split by family now if they don't mind. There was a broad consensus for the splitting in general, and the only thing that remains to be clarified before submission FPC-side is the wording of the few exceptions. Sincerely, -- Nicolas Mailhot
