            Bug ID: 1648825
           Summary: Split and update smc-fonts to match upstream release
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
         Component: smc-fonts
          Severity: medium

Description of problem:
We haven't updated smc-fonts in 4 years in Fedora. A lot of updates and fixes
were made and a new font was added by upstream in the meantime. With that, a
lot of discussions on how to manage the releases of fonts also took place,
because by then each font was being updated differently and was getting a
different version number.

Upstream moved to Gitlab instead of Savannah and each font with its own version
number is hosted in individual repository now, see
https://gitlab.com/smc/fonts. Fedora can no longer depend on the existing
packaging mechanism of single tarball and single makefile, as some fonts use
different build tools (e.g. Manjari uses UFO+Fontmake) as well.

I've discussed with pravins and he suggests to split the fonts and open a bug
for that.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
6.1

That would be awfully nice.

Please note however that I will push a font packaging macro rewrite sometime
this month in devel.

--- Comment #2 from Pravin Satpute <psatpute(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
Thanks Rajeesh for reporting bug. As we discussed, we were having same problem
with lohit-fonts packages, Now each font is separate package and maintenance is
easy.
