Description Tom "spot" Callaway 2008-11-20 17:55:43 UTC
Spec URL: http://auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/new/xmbdfed.spec
SRPM URL: http://auroralinux.org/people/spot/review/new/xmbdfed-4.7-1.fc10.src.rpm
Description: 
The XmBDFEditor lets you interactively create new bitmap font files or
modify existing ones. It allows editing multiple fonts and multiple
glyphs, it allows cut and paste operations between fonts and glyphs and
editing font properties. The editor works natively with BDF fonts.

Comment 1 Lucian Langa 2008-12-08 20:33:16 UTC
This package needs  xorg-x11-fonts-misc as requirement, otherwise it won't even start:
XmuttFontGrid: can't load the "6x10" font.


xmbdfed.desktop: warning: key "Encoding" in group "Desktop Entry" is deprecated
xmbdfed.desktop: warning: value "Application;Graphics;" for key "Categories" in group "Desktop Entry" contains a deprecated value "Application"


In the %files section, please to use:
%defattr(-, root, root, -)

Comment 2 Nicolas Mailhot 2008-12-08 21:13:19 UTC
BTW this one may be a better option for packaging (didn't actually try any of them)
