fontforge update for f12?

[Kevin Fenzi]

Greetings.

What would folks think about me updating fontforge in f12?

I need to push an update to fix: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=560277

Currently f12 has: 
fontforge-20090622-2

The current version is: 
fontforge-20090923-2

Anyone prefer I don't update? 
If so, I can backport the python patch I have instead of updating
versions.

Thoughts?

Hi,

It would be very nice if we could have a fontforge stable enough to keep a
full release. I really hate it when font packages and the fontforge used to
build them do not match in a distro.

However, it seems that's not the case here. So if you feel updating is
necessary for bug-fixing, I'm OK with it. However, please do a scratch build
of all the packages that use fontforge (and run repo-font-audit on it) before
pushing to f12. regressions are worse than known bugs.

(just my opinion, others on the list may differ)

Yeah. Agreed.

Well, I can also just see about backporting the patch I need. 
It might not be that bad...

Will keep the list posted.
