           Summary: Replace bitstream-vera dependencies with dejavu
                    dependencies
           Product: Fedora
           Version: rawhide
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

    Classification: Fedora


Bitstream Vera has long been deprecated in Fedora in favour of DejaVu, which is
a community fork and extension of the Bitsream release. The majority of users
will have DejaVu installed on system and pulling Vera in is a waste of
resources.

For Fedora 11, please consider changing the fbida deps on bitstream-vera-fonts
to one or several of:

 dejavu-fonts-sans
 dejavu-fonts-sans-mono
 dejavu-fonts-serif
 dejavu-fonts-lgc-sans
 dejavu-fonts-lgc-sans-mono
 dejavu-fonts-lgc-serif

Nowadays LGC is only installed for special cases, and people use the full
version of the fonts.

The compat packages are transitory and will be gone in F12

In compare with this package size, bitstream fonts are tiny.
But, as they'll be gone in future, new release is referencing dejavu now.
