Hi,
Welcome !
I've submitted a new font package for review [1], but I have 0
experience with fonts (I need it to unbundle it from [2]), and I found
the documentation about font packages a little bit outdated. It's a
pretty simple font (OFL, single family with a couple of styles),
We were aware of this, so it’s been rewritten, and FPC approved the
rewrite two weeks ago.
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/935
It’s not published yet, FPC is proofing the text, but you can already
read the pre-proofed version here using asciidoctor.js
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/934
APPLICABILITY
For a very simple font family like NewsCycle most of the twists of the
document won’t apply, you just need to use the new macros available in
fonts-?rpm-macros. fonts-rpm-templates in F32+ provides example spec
templates. Do read the parts on how to depend on font packages from non
font packages, however, you will use them.
That will simplify your spec quite a bit, and generate the fonts
metainfo file for you (I see you wrote one by hand, you can keep it if
you like it, apologies for being slow to update guidelines, and the
needless manual work).
Once you’ve updated your spec to the new guidelines I will review it and
help you wrap it up.
TARGET RELEASES
The new font macros are available in F32, F33, and currently been pushed
to F31. The aim is to have all new packages use them for F31+, and
convert existing packages before F34 (at that point compatibility glue
for previous macros will be dropped). That will get us a single
packaging target for all supported Fedora releases soonish.
EL8 & EPEL
There is no plan short term to enable them for EPEL8, because the
redhat-rpm-config version here is too old and missing some common code.
However, an EL8 redhat-rpm-config refresh has already been requested to
@rh engineering by another SIG
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1774139
It would not take much to complete this refresh with the bits used by
out fonts macros, should anyone be interested (both packaging guidelines
depend on pretty much the same common code, there are a couple
fonts-specific commits in redhat-rpm-config Go does not need, but they
are marginal)
I won’t drive EPEL-ing myself, but I will help anyone willing to take
the subject.
Regards,
