This one looks better, however to completely convert freefont you should: 1. rename the base package to gnu-free-fonts http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy#Naming http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#What_if_the_new_naming_guidelines_require_me_to_rename_my_source_package.3F 2. build from the sfd sources upstream publishes http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy#Building_from_sources 3. add a few fontconfig rules http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#The_fontconfig_stuff_the_font_guidelines_suggest_seems_complex._Can_I_skip_it.3F 4. try to stay closer to the template by using the same declaration order and spacing lines (makes it so much easier to check in a diff tool) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#Can_I_re-indent.2Fre-order_the_fonts_packaging_template.3F 5. remove the "Requires: fontconfig". It is contrary to packaging guidelines http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy#Install-time_dependencies 6. probably be more conservative with provides http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#Do_I_need_to_Provide_my_old_package_names.3F 7. use -compat as metapackage if you need one http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#But_my_old_package_is_replaced_by_several_new_packages.21 8. use nice names for your subpackages via -n as suggested by the templates http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#What_font_packaging_changes_are_needed_with_post-1.13_fontpackages.3F Piece of cake :p -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list
