Well then in that case, you may be happy to hear that you have a new
fonts packager: me. ^.^
Welcome
My name is Stephen, and I'm a student in the LUX program at
Seneca
College in Toronto Canada, studying Linux. For a class project, I will
be packaging up as many fonts as I can, and (hopefully) getting them
into Fedora. I'm a little late in getting into contact with the
community, but hey, better late than never! To start off, I've already
got one font packaged up and ready for review (Epigrafica - I had a
couple others, but I see they're no longer on the wishlist), but I'm not
quite sure where to go from here. I'd like to get these started into the
review process, but I've never done that before so... yeah, what do I do
next?
You need to create a fas-account, apply for the packager-group and
create a package review request in bugzilla that includes the
information that you need to be sponsored.
A potential sponsor will probably want to see a litte more work done by
you that shows that you've understood the fedora packaging principles -
so doing a couple of 'pre-reviews' of packages (font or not) is probably
a good idea.
There are lots of details on how to join/help on the wiki - start here:
http://fedoraproject.org/join-fedora
Also, I'm on IRC a lot, is there an IRC channel where I could
ask
questions specifically related to fonts-packaging?
##fonts
#fedora-devel
both on the freenode irc-network.
