Hi,
I would like to propose adding the following text to our
"Package Naming Guidelines".
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/NamingGuidelines
'''
== Fonts Packages ==
Font packages should be named with the upstream name appended with `-fonts`.
Examples:
{{{
bitmap-fonts
dejavu-lgc-fonts
ghostscript-fonts
urw-fonts
xorg-x11-fonts
}}}
'''
Should the text discuss what to do when the upstream name contains the
word "font" already?
See
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2007-February/msg00794.html
and
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2007-March/msg00262.html
for some recent discussion of <upstreamname>-fonts vs fonts-<language>
and "-fonts" vs "-font" for singlet font packages.
Comments or objections?
Jens
ps We might even consider renaming some of our "fonts-*" packages to
follow this naming scheme for F8.
