https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2308744

Bug ID: 2308744
           Summary: Upgrade Fira Sans to version 4.301 (post-Mozilla
                    involvement) and package FiraGO
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 40
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
         Component: mozilla-fira-fonts
          Severity: medium
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
        QA Contact: [e-mail]

  Target Milestone: ---
    Classification: Fedora

From https://bboxtype.com/fira/ :
> Originally designed as a typeface for the Mozilla OS, Fira Sans has developed towards a standalone Open Font project. In 2012, we designed the firstversion of Fira in cooperation with Erik Spiekermann and Mozilla. Over the next years, Fira covered more and more languages and provided further weights and styles.
> In 2016, with version 4.2, Mozilla decided to not put effort into the project anymore and in fact quit (please note that their Git is not up to date). Since 2016, we advance the project with the help of different partners. Fira Sans 4.3 will presumably be the last version. All upcoming extensions will be based on FiraGO.

Essentially Mozilla stopped working on Fira Sans but it was kept being worked
on by bBox Type GmbH.

This might also make a opportunity to migrate to the Fira Mono version by bBox
Type GmbH and also package FiraGo which isn't packaged yet.

For more info about Fira GO vs Fira Sans:
https://bboxtype.com/downloads/Projects/FiraGO_FiraSans_180109.pdf

Migrating to the bBox Type versions might requiring renaming of the package to
drop the "mozilla" prefix, as Mozilla is not involved anymore.

Reproducible: Always

This is essentially a request to move the Fira Sans e Fira Mono fonts from the
Mozilla upstream to the bBox Type upstream.
As an extra it's also a request to separately start packaging FiraGO, an
extended version of Fira Sans with improved language support.

Since the other bug is about the Fira Sans update, this one will be repurposed
to only handle the FiraGo packaging.

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 40 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 40 on
2025-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with
a
'version' of '40'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 40 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Fedora Linux 40 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2025-05-13.

Fedora Linux 40 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora
Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
