Dear all, I've pushed two fontpackages releases lately. 1.28 This version is the product of a major refactoring of repo-font audit to make it generally useful to the individual font packager. You can use it on a local yum repo to QA your own packages before publishing them more widely. It is also able to generate maintainer nagmails. However, no new tests were added in this version. 1.28 is considered very stable and has been pushed to F-11. As a side-effect, that means fontpackages-devel in F-11 is now up-to-date regarding all the fontconfig templates written in the past 8 months (last fontpackages pushed to F-11 was 1.20). 1.29 This version adds fontconfig script coverage and unicode block coverage tests to repo-font-audit (any package that contains a font file that needs less than 10 glyphs to cover a new script or block will be flagged). Interestingly many fonts fail the script coverage test while passing the unicode block one, which seems to imply most font authors are not aware they're only missing a few glyphs to cover more scripts, and be useful in more regions. Please relay those failures upstream. 1.29 also adds fontlint to the test list. Since fontlint is very strict and would reject pretty much every font in Fedora if left alone, I've used the highly scientific method of filtering out the most common errors to limit the test failures (on the grounds that if a large number of fonts do the same mistakes, apps had to learn how to cope with it). If I should filter something else, feel free to argue your case on the list. I'm not 100% sure my filtering is perfect, just that it's good enough for a first try. Those three new tests will flag many more font files than previously, so expect new error reports. The coverage tests should be pretty solid. I'm less sure about fontlint. However, since after filtering fonts fail fontlint for many different reasons, I'm afraid those are real bugs and reflect poor FLOSS font QA (SIL fonts pass fontlint with colors, so it is achievable). 1.29 has been pushed to F-12 and devel. It will be used in the next rawhide test run (probably by the end of the month). -- Nicolas Mailhot _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-list
