Hi all, I would like to update the python-pydata-sphinx-theme package to its latest version, but it needs FontAwesome 6.x. We currently have 4.x in the fontawesome-fonts package and 5.x in the fontawesome5-fonts package. Version 6.x has backwards compatibility helpers for both 4.x and 5.x, so I would like to see fontawesome-fonts upgraded to 6.x and the fontawesome5-fonts package retired. There are a few hurdles to jump first. One hurdle is that the current fontawesome-fonts maintainer doesn't seem to have time to work on the package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1857488#c9. I'm willing to help out with that, but would prefer to see somebody with more font experience step into the main admin role. Another hurdle is that you have to work a little to get the backwards compatibility features for 4.x and 5.x. It isn't just a drop-in replacement. I've started a COPR to work through the issues: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jjames/FontAwesome6/. This shows both the python-pydata-sphinx-theme update I mentioned at the top, and a patch for cantata to use 6.x natively. Packages that need work: - cantata (see the COPR for a possible solution) - freeipa - ipsilon - python-XStatic-Font-Awesome [1] - python-sphinx_rtd_theme (see https://github.com/readthedocs/sphinx_rtd_theme/pull/1064) - texlive-fontawesome - texlive-fontawesome5 Packages with documentation built by python-pydata-sphinx-theme or python-sphinx_rtd_theme may need to change font Requires: - coq - libgpuarray - libsemigroups - python-BTrees - python-acme - python-f5-sdk - python-networkx - python-notebook - python-sphinx-ansible_theme - python-streamlink I'd appreciate any help the maintainers of these packages can offer, as well as suggestions for improvements in what I already have. Footnotes: [1] Is this package needed? Nothing in Fedora seems to consume it. It looks like it is just a bundled copy of the fonts, which also means that its Requires on fontawesome-fonts and fontawesome-fonts-web are wrong, since it contains the fonts. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
