Description Jens Petersen 2026-05-26 07:20:43 UTC
With support for Unicode 17.

I suggest we stop using the snapshot versioning and follow the upstream release versions, which are being released consistently.

https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji/releases

Reproducible: Always

Oh, I didn't read carefully enough and forgot about changing the snapshot versioning.

The black and white font included has a different version number:

commit 110e2bf10d729a67c323bf11ebdfbb1cb97a9950 (HEAD -> rawhide, origin/rawhide, origin/main, mfabian/rawhide)

    Update to v2.051
    
    - and update the black and white font Noto Emoji from Version 3.003 to 3.005.

I see - but i feel it is okay to use the version tagged in upstream github and used for the tarball.

Our current versioning is also incompatible with Anitya (https://release-monitoring.org/project/10556/) and so we do not get notified about new releases.

Yes, especially because the black and white font with the different version comes from elsewhere. I found the updated Noto_Emoji.zip for the black and white font for Unicode 17 here:

https://fonts.google.com/noto/specimen/Noto+Emoji

I didn't yet find a git repo where that black and white font comes from.

If I change the version number scheme, do I need to introduce `Epoch: 1` in the .spec file? Or does that work without?

Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2026-05-28 02:28:35 UTC
I think we should actually repackage then: splitting into 2 source packages.
We should ask upsteam about the Mono fonts.  Yes, Epoch will be required.

Please check with Akira.

Maybe we should as the black-and-white emoji font is no longer shipped with the same archive file.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 45 development cycle.
Changing version to 45.
