--- Comment #1 from Nicolas Mailhot nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net 2009-11-03 16:04:25 EDT --- 1. Please use a lowercase package name as per Fedora font packaging guidelines http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy#Naming
2. Please use the font packaging templates in fontpackages-devel as per Fedora font packaging guidelines http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy#Technical_implementation
(otherwise no font metadata will be generated at build time; note that it won't work on mixed case packages)
3. Please check what repo-font-audit says about your package,
a. install fontpackages-tools from http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=139320 b. put your rpms in a dir c. run createrepo on it d. run repo-font-audit test file://absolute-path-to-the-dir
it will catch this kind of mistake (also identify other problems that need to be relayed upstream)
4. the font splitup and naming seems a giant pre-unicode pre-wws mess. the different files are probably all parts of the same font family, except they're not properly named and their symbols not properly mapped at the right unicode points (granted, some math codepoints are only being standardised today thanks to the nice work of the stix project). For this reason, it's probably better to suff all the files in the same package, and not create a subpackage for each of them (you gotta love when upstreams decide to create their own non-standard conventions to confuse everyone else)
5. a fontconfig file would be nice, if only to document the font should be put at a very low priority in fontconfig stacks (but since fontconfig relies on font naming, and this font naming is weird, that may not be sufficient)
6. Please check with spot this font is not on his TEX blacklist
7. When there is no obvious version in a font set we usually use the timestamp of the most recent font file in the archive upstream released as version
8. Other font packages use User Interface/X as group (which is arguably not ideal, but not worth creating inconsistencies with other packages)
9. If you wanted to package this for non-fedora distros such as epel, it'd probably be more effective to push fontpackages there than add conditionals in specs. Pushing fontpackages is not difficult you only need to : 1. put back in the spec templates the warts that could be removed in Fedora thanks to recent rpm enhancements 2. check the yum-utils is recent enough to run repo-font-audit (else remove this part) 3. check the fontconfig is recent enough to accept split config files in /etc/fonts/conf.d (else remove the fontconfig templates)
fontpackages has few deps, only the templates included in it depend on particular enhancements and need "porting"

--- Comment #4 from Nicolas Mailhot nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net 2009-11-13 06:27:55 EDT --- /me cries for all the ifdefing
At this point you should use the simple font template. The multi style of packaging is only useful if you produce more than one font subpackage
That's probably the only thing needed to bring it to "good enough" level of packaging. Though you will receive regularly packaging alerts because of the non-standard font naming (see attached file, the only pure packager alert is test #3 and it's a consequence of this font set state ; the rest needs relaying upstream)
I hope STIX finally publishes a non-beta version so we can tell TeXies to drop this kind of gross legacy font hack

I freely admit I fail to be excited about this package, but there's probably little that can be done given the context
