A pull request has been opened to update to roboto-classic v3.015:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/google-roboto-fonts/pull-request/3

The upstream repository has moved from github.com/google/roboto to
github.com/googlefonts/roboto-classic. The license has also changed
from Apache-2.0 to OFL-1.1.

Note: OFL.txt is not included in the upstream release zip; an issue
has been filed upstream to address this:

Per Fedora Fonts Policy, condensed is a width variant of the same
font family and must not be split into a separate subpackage.

Changes:
- Merge RobotoCondensed-*.ttf into google-roboto-fonts
- Update fontconfig to rewrite 'Roboto Condensed' to family=Roboto
with width=condensed for WWS compliance
- Drop google-roboto-condensed-fonts subpackage
- Drop condensed fontconfig conf and metainfo sources

Obsoletes: google-roboto-condensed-fonts

Depends on PR #3.
