In the review of python-pydata-sphinx-theme (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1981997), the fact that our FontAwesome font packages are on version 4.x came up. That new package needs version 5.x. I tried to make it work with 4.x ... no luck. I do not want to take over the existing fontawesome-fonts package, nor do I want to be involved in porting anything from version 4.x to version 5.x. I am willing, however, to maintain a parallel-installable version 5.x of the fonts, so that applications can migrate on their own schedules (with an eye to eventually deprecating and/or removing the existing package). I have filed a review request: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1989300 It uses the name fontawesome-free-fonts for two reasons: - To be different from the existing package name for parallel installability; and - To distinguish the Fedora package from the Pro version of the fonts. I have two misgivings about this package and would appreciate some input from the community on these points. 1. Does the name rationale make sense? 2. Do we actually need the web subpackage? The font guidelines say NOT to package svg, woff, etc. versions of a font because modern browsers can read the otf versions. On the other hand, the web subpackage also contains JavaScript versions of the fonts (which cannot be built from source using only Fedora packages, alas!). On the gripping hand, the existing package has a web subpackage, and it seems to be used (by 8 packages).
