Summary: Please convert to new font packaging guidelines

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477429

Summary: Please convert to new font packaging guidelines
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: medium
         Component: myanmar3-unicode-fonts
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
         QAContact: [e-mail]
                CC: [e-mail], [e-mail]
    Classification: Fedora

This bug has been filed because we've detected your package includes one or
several font files:

repoquery -C --repoid=rawhide -f '*.ttf' -f '*.otf' -f '*.pfb'
-f '*.pfa' --qf='%{SOURCERPM}\n' |sed -e
's+-[0-9.-]*.fc[123456789](.*)src.rpm++g'|sort|uniq

Unfortunately the script
does not detect symlinks to other packages, so if that's your case, you can
close this bug report now.

Otherwise, you should know that:

- Fedora guidelines
demand the packaging of fonts in a separate package or subpackage:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Avoid_bundling_of_fonts_i...

- our font packaging guidelines recently changed, and every package that ships
fonts must be adapted to the new templates available in the fontpackages-devel
package.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_packaging_automation_(20...)
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_fonts_policy_package
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Simple_fonts_spec_template
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_for_multiple_fonts

Please make
your package conform to the current guidelines in rawhide.

If your package is not
principaly a font package, depending on a separate font package or subpackage
is the prefered solution. If your application does not use fontconfig you can
always package symlinks to the files provided by the font package and installed
in the correct fontconfig directories.

It is preferred to make a font package or
subpackage per font family, though it is not currently a hard guidelines
requirement (it may become before Fedora 11 is released). The definition of a
font family is given on
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_notes/font-family

The new
templates should make the creation of font subpackages easy and safe.

The
following packages have already been converted and can serve as examples: -
andika-fonts - apanov-heuristica-fonts - bitstream-vera-fonts - charis-fonts -
dejavu-fonts - ecolier-court-fonts - edrip-fonts - gfs-ambrosia-fonts -
gfs-artemisia-fonts - gfs-baskerville-fonts - gfs-bodoni-classic-fonts -
gfs-bodoni-fonts - gfs-complutum-fonts - gfs-didot-classic-fonts -
gfs-didot-fonts - gfs-eustace-fonts - gfs-fleischman-fonts - gfs-garaldus-fonts
- gfs-gazis-fonts - gfs-jackson-fonts - gfs-neohellenic-fonts -
gfs-nicefore-fonts - gfs-olga-fonts - gfs-porson-fonts - gfs-solomos-fonts -
gfs-theokritos-fonts - stix-fonts - yanone-kaffeesatz-fonts

If you have any remaining
questions about the new guidelines please ask them on fedora-fonts-list at
redhat.com

[Since the bot made a mess of the text here it is again in properly indented
form.]

This bug has been filed because we've detected your package includes one or
several font files:

repoquery -C --repoid=rawhide -f '*.ttf' -f '*.otf' -f '*.pfb' -f '*.pfa'
--qf='%{SOURCERPM}\n' |sed -e

— Fedora guidelines demand the packaging of fonts in a separate package (or

  – http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Simple_fonts_spec_template
  – http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_for_multiple_fonts

Please make your package conform to the current guidelines in rawhide (you can
use the fontpackages package in F9 or F10 to test, but only submit changes to
rawhide please).

If your package is not principaly a font package, depending on a separate font
package or subpackage is the prefered solution. If your application does not
use fontconfig you can always package symlinks to the files provided by the
font package and installed in the correct fontconfig directories.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_notes/font-family

The new templates should make the creation of font subpackages easy and safe.

The following packages have already been converted by their packager and can
serve as examples:
❄ andika-fonts
❄ apanov-heuristica-fonts
❄ bitstream-vera-fonts

FPC approved those two additional guidelines recently, please take them into
account if you need to create or update a fonts package or subpackage:

– 2009-01-14: naming
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Font_package_naming_%282009-01...

— 2009-01-06: exact splitting rules
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Font_package_splitting_rules_%...

(packagers that can drop font files and just depend on an existing font package
are not impacted)

--- Comment #4 from Nicolas Mailhot   2009-02-18 14:32:37 EDT ---
This is a reminder for all the packagers that still have bugs open about
adapting to font packaging guidelines there is only one month left before
Fedora 11 beta:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/11/Schedule

A week of this month will see the Fedora 11 mass rebuild, that will load the
build farm:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_Mass_Rebuild

As already converted packages showed it is quite possible to make mistakes
during the conversion. Please make releng and QA happy and don't wait till the
last minute to do your changes (avoid pre-beta panic). If possible start before
the mass rebuild so we don't burn cycles on incorrect packages.

The PackageKit enhancements stated for Fedora 11 assume fonts and font-using
packages are sane (basically respect packaging guidelines). It is quite
possible that not-converted packages will interact with the F11 font
autoinstall feature in "interesting" ways.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/AutomaticFontInstallation

We don't want that

There is extensive documentation on the wiki and most of your questions have
likely already been answered there. Please do read the FAQ before making more
work for the support team by asking questions answered there.

Offering help, with respect to bug #477044.

The following changes are needed in the SPEC file:

1. Remove the "%define fontdir" and "%define fontconfdir" (line 2 & 3)
2. Add "%define fontconf 65-%{fontname}" at the top
3. Add "BuildRequires: fontpackages-devel > 1.13"
4. Replace all the remaining "%{fontdir}" with "%{_fontdir}"
5. Change "install -m 0755 -d %{buildroot}%{fontconfdir}
   install -m 0644 -p %{SOURCE1}
%{buildroot}%{fontconfdir}/65-%{fontname}.conf" to:

install -m 0755 -d %{buildroot}%{_fontconfig_templatedir} \
                %{buildroot}%{_fontconfig_confdir}
    install -m 0644 -p ${SOURCE1}
%{buildroot}%{_fontconfig_templatedir}/%{fontconf}-fonts.conf
    for fconf in %{fontconf}-fonts.conf ; do
        ln -s %{_fontconfig_templatedir}/$fconf \
              %{buildroot}%{_fontconfig_confdir}/$fconf
    done

6. Remove all the %post and %postun sections
7. Replace the whole %files section to:
   %_font_pkg -f 65-%{fontname}.conf *.ttf
   %dir %{_fontdir}

--- Comment #6 from Nicolas Mailhot   2009-03-15 15:32:47 EDT ---
%dir %{_fontdir} is not 100% necessary, and there's no real need to loop on a
single fontconfig file, but the advice seems generally sane

Thanks   Rajeesh

--- Comment #8 from Bug Zapper  2010-04-27 08:35:11 EDT ---

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
