--- Comment #11 from Parag AN(पराग) <panemade@xxxxxxxxx> ---

Apologies that this created some work for you, Adam. There was few thoughts
going in my mind when I approved this package review without mandating
Provides: tag but I clearly missed further steps required for this package.
These thoughts were like adapting to new fonts packaging in Fedora, packages
getting renamed due to that in Fedora, RHEL N+1 upgrade path, keeping
"Obsoletes: and Provides:" tag for many years and then is no way to auto
cross-check these old "Obsoletes: and Provides:" tag in existing spec files. I
understand its package maintainer responsibility to add and remove "Obsoletes:
and Provides:" tag when time comes.

There are few more font packages now in queue that are ready to get renamed in
Fedora when they will adapt to new fonts packaging guidelines. While I missed
that point about clean upgrade path for this package. I did remember it for my
other packages, hence my work on converting existing packages to new guidelines
is stalled currently. I have got one rename review (google-carlito-fonts)
approved since few days but have not built it in Fedora yet as it also involves
changing package name to all those places. But now I am going to build it
today.

About querying package dependencies, I am surprised why Fedora users are not
affected by this dnf bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1812596
which should have been fixed on urgent basis. It is present in at least F31 and
F32 releases. This is causing me issues to understand package dependency chain.
Its good that RHEL-8 is not poisoned by introducing new dnf updates yet. So, I
am using it to understand probable dependency chain in Fedora.

It is good that failed-composes repository is helping releng to quickly find
such issues but I understand is costs one more complete compose to have
reported issues fixed.

I will make sure to check for further steps taken on such rename request
packages in my future package review work.

Thank you.
