[Since the bot made a mess of the text here it is again in properly indented form.]
This bug has been filed because we've detected your package includes one or several font files:
repoquery -C --repoid=rawhide -f '*.ttf' -f '*.otf' -f '*.pfb' -f '*.pfa' --qf='%{SOURCERPM}\n' |sed -e 's+-[0-9.-]*\.fc[123456789]\(.*\)src.rpm++g'|sort|uniq
Unfortunately this script does not detect symlinks to other packages, so if that's your case, you can close this bug report now.
Otherwise, you should know that:
— Fedora guidelines demand the packaging of fonts in a separate package (or subpackage):
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Avoid_bundling_of_fonts_in_other_packages
— our font packaging guidelines recently changed, and every package that ships fonts must be adapted to the new templates available in the fontpackages-devel package:
– http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_packaging_automation_(2008-11-18)
– http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_fonts_policy_package
– http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Simple_fonts_spec_template
– http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_for_multiple_fonts
Please make your package conform to the current guidelines in rawhide (you can use the fontpackages package in F9 or F10 to test, but only submit changes to rawhide please).
If your package is not principaly a font package, depending on a separate font package or subpackage is the prefered solution. If your application does not use fontconfig you can always package symlinks to the files provided by the font package and installed in the correct fontconfig directories.
It is preferred to create a font package or subpackage per font family, though it is not currently a hard guidelines requirement (it may become before Fedora 11 is released). The definition of a font family is given on:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_notes/font-family
The new templates should make the creation of font subpackages easy and safe.
The following packages have already been converted by their packager and can serve as examples:
❄ andika-fonts
❄ apanov-heuristica-fonts
❄ bitstream-vera-fonts
❄ charis-fonts
❄ dejavu-fonts
❄ ecolier-court-fonts
❄ edrip-fonts
❄ gfs-ambrosia-fonts
❄ gfs-artemisia-fonts
❄ gfs-baskerville-fonts
❄ gfs-bodoni-classic-fonts
❄ gfs-bodoni-fonts
❄ gfs-complutum-fonts
❄ gfs-didot-classic-fonts
❄ gfs-didot-fonts
❄ gfs-eustace-fonts
❄ gfs-fleischman-fonts
❄ gfs-garaldus-fonts
❄ gfs-gazis-fonts
❄ gfs-jackson-fonts
❄ gfs-neohellenic-fonts
❄ gfs-nicefore-fonts
❄ gfs-olga-fonts
❄ gfs-porson-fonts
❄ gfs-solomos-fonts
❄ gfs-theokritos-fonts
❄ stix-fonts
❄ yanone-kaffeesatz-fonts
If you have any remaining questions about the new guidelines please ask them on:

Because, it's look like, that the stellarium package will contains fontsfile for the DeJaVU-Sans and DEJAVU-SansMono files, it may be right to remove this files from the packabe and add Req. to the dejavu-fonts packages? I have try to create such a solution. But stellarium will starts to complaints about missing files, if the fontsfiles are not exists on /usr/share/stellarium/data. Because the packaging policy say, that create a font subpackage make only sense, if other applications may benefits from it, I have avoid this solution, because the dejavu fonts are available for other applications as a existing package of the fedora repository. If your package only need those two dejavu families, please remove them and add deps on the corresponding dejavu packages. (plus a set of symlinks in your package if stellarium can not find system fonts; in that case also remind upstream to add fontconfig support so you don't need to carry the symlinks forever) Please do so in fedora-devel *only*. Be aware that the set of dejavu packages available in fedora-devel have different names and deps than in F9 and F10, so you need to reference the new names for this stuff to work (probably dejavu-fonts-sans-mono and dejavu-fonts-sans) There's no reason not to fix it, use symlinks Bug should be fixed at stellarium-0.10.0-2 at rawhide. |
