https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1208833 Bug ID: 1208833 Summary: Review Request: gdouros-aegyptus-fonts - A font for Egyptian hieroglyphs Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: Package Review Severity: medium Priority: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: alex.ploumistos@xxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Spec URL: https://alexpl.fedorapeople.org/packages/fonts/gdouros/gdouros-aegyptus-fonts/gdouros-aegyptus-fonts.spec SRPM URL: https://alexpl.fedorapeople.org/packages/fonts/gdouros/gdouros-aegyptus-fonts/gdouros-aegyptus-fonts-5.03-1.fc21.src.rpm Description: This packages provides 3 fonts: -Aegyptus, an Extended List of 7062 Egyptian Hieroglyphs, in regular and bold font weights. -Nilus, which covers Coptic, Meroitic, Hieratic Alphabet and Transliteration Characters. -Gardiner, extracted from Aegyptus Bold, which covers the Gardiner set of 1071 Egyptian Hieroglyphs, supported by The Unicode Standard since version 5.2 in the SMP block 13000 - 1342F. There is no standard for Egyptian Hieroglyphs or Meroitic, so they are allocated in the Supplementary Private Use Plane 15. The fonts also cover Basic Latin and some Punctuation and other Symbols. They were created by George Douros, mainly based on the book Hieroglyphica, PIREI I², 2000 and the work of Alan Gardiner. Fedora Account System Username: alexpl Koji scratch build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9402749 The font is already in fedora, but the current maintainer has been non-responsive for quite some time, so this is the last step of the relevant policy - a takeover request. I have cleaned up the spec files from deprecated commands, added AppStream metadata and I have included sample files provided by upstream in a separate doc package. Following a brief discussion on devel ML and after having contacted upstream for clarifications, I have decided not to include the hinted fonts in the source package. At some point, upstream decided to split the Aegyptus font into three: Aegyptus, Gardiner and Nilus. Given that all their glyphs are contained in the font package that we already have as gdouros-aegyptus-fonts and that they are complimentary to each other, I took the liberty to package them all together. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
