Hi,
I was wondering how one goes about requesting RPMfusion to create a package which does not fall within Fedora's guidelines. The package I am interested in is:
https://www.tug.org/fonts/getnonfreefonts/
I had moderate trouble installing it on one 64-bit WS, but on the other one, I am still working on it (not easy). I was thinking if such an RPM was available from RPMfusion, etc, this would be very useful to people like me.
I looked up BZ for RPMfusion, but you can only file against a specific component. Since this component does not exist on RPMfusion, I wonder how to go about filling in a request.
I understand that this request can be denied (it is after all a volunteer effort), but it still can not hurt to try!
Best wishes, Ranjan

Yes. of course! But signing up and waiting for confirmation e-mails to show up and then what not was what I was trying to avoid....

one should not be so impatient when one is wanting another to do what one can not do.

Peace out? What is impatient about writing about an annoyance?
I don't know if there is need for such sanctimony: and btw, "what one can not do" does not quite apply, does it, if you read my post carefully.....
