It is a descendant of the previous canonical Fedora font packaging support package, fontpackages, which will be replaced (that’s why its initial version is 2.0.0). Most of it has been rewritten except the fontconfig templates. Constrains: — the fonts-srpm-macros subpackage will need to be included in the default buildroot — it relies on redhat-rpm-config ≥ 137 That restricts the applicability of the new guidelines to fedora ≥ 31 (less if we only change the buildroot for Fedora 32 and 33). Legacy fontpackages macros are grandfathered for now to avoid breaking existing packages. However, they are much more limited than the new macros, and require more packager manual work, which is often ignored or poorly done. Therefore they will be retired after one or two releases to force a level (and complete) packaging field. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
