Font CVS Requests

[Paul Lange]

Hey,

after my two packages has been approved (thank you Nicolas). I'm going
to start to integrate them into the Fedora CVS system.

Now I have some question for creating the New Package CVS Request:

Who should I put in as owner(s). Is this just me or anything like the
fonts SIG?
Same question for InitialCC. Do I usually put someone in here?

In the documentation is written, that the devel branch is automatically
created. So do I leave this field empty?


Thank you!
Paul

Actually the font lifecycle page explains a lot:

It's you, plus whoever you want to maintain the package with (if there is any).

As explained in the above link you include fonts-sig to CC, plus
whoever wants to get included (if there is any).

If you also want to publish the font in stable branches put F-9 for
Fedora 9, F-10 for Fedora 10. These are explained here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/CVSAdminProcedure

Also, here is your walkthrough to get your package into Fedora:

It's just you; you're now the one taking care of the package

For fonts packages you pur the fonts SIG in here

Unless you want to push you packages to previous releases, empty is ok
(you can also put "devel only" in there just to be sure)

You have a fairly recent example of what it looks like here
