[Bug 1661860] New: Deprecate smc-kalyani-fonts package

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1661860

Bug ID: 1661860
           Summary: Deprecate smc-kalyani-fonts package
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
            Status: NEW
         Component: smc-fonts

  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora

As per [1] discussion started around splitting smc-fonts package. 
smc-kalyani-fonts was part of it and upstream has agreed to remove
smc-kalyani-fonts[2] from Fedora.

Would request to remove this package from Fedora.

Also if possible can this package be removed from Fedora-29 as well.

--- Comment #1 from Jens Petersen  ---
Does any font replace this?  Or is it just deprecated.

It can be dropped from Rawhide if it is no longer useful.

I don't think and why should we - well you could also make
smc-fonts-common obsolete it if you really want people to stop using the font.

(Rather the smc-fonts package should be retired from Rawhide (and F30) once the
new packages are in place.)

Rather again when the new packages are in F29 updates, smc-kalyani-fonts should
be obsoleted yes.
Though as I see it there is no real problem with this old font continuing to
exist in older Fedora per se.

What is broken by having the old package installed?

We don't just force-remove packages from systems unless their existence is
going to break something.

Nothing to do.
Complete!

In current smc-fonts packaging, there is one spec file which generates 8 binary
(different font family) subpackages. Upstream notified that development has
stopped for Kalyani font. In the new packaging we have one srpm per font family
thus no need of smc-fonts-common subpackage to exist. If Packaging Guidelines
do not allow to Obsolete such package then we need to re-package
smc-kalyani-fonts in its own srpm with older smc-fonts Source and let this
package obsolete smc-fonts-common. There there will be no broken dependency
issue with new smc fonts packaging.

Okay then the only working solution is to package smc-kalyani-fonts in its own
srpm and build all these new smc-*-fonts packages in rawhide. Then
smc-kalyani-fonts package can be orphaned.

--- Comment #5 from Jens Petersen  ---
Here is my suggestion: for F30 we retire smc-fonts completely and add
appropriate Obsoletes as needed.
For current releases (28 and 29), there is no need to Obsolete
smc-fonts-common.

So something like this should be sufficient I reckon:

%if 0%{?fedora} >= 30
Obsoletes:   smc-fonts-common < (lastnvrbumped)
%endif

Does that not work?

--- Comment #6 from Parag Nemade  ---
If we don't want to change F29 then its fine but suppose someone has installed
all the smc*fonts rpms and trying to upgrade to F30 he should not face any
issues. I think if we retire smc-fonts package from F30 and add the individual
packages except smc-kalyani-fonts then that will still be a problem.

Yes we need to add an obsoletes for smc-kalyani-fonts to
fedora-obsolete-packages.

I think we did not need to add anything to fedora-obsolete-packages, hence
closing this bug.
