Comment 1 Nicolas Mailhot 2009-10-16 21:53:03 UTC
Wow, you don't know how long I've waited for someone to pick up this review request (Antiquity is cool!)

Review:

1. don't really know if it's better to hang this on George Douros (gdouros-) or Unicode Fonts for Ancient Scripts (ufas-). Probably a good idea to ask upstream what they prefer. Please sync the wiki page name with the choice you make in the rpm

2. You have a typo in the description (Aegea)

3. It'd be a good idea to convince the author to put his licensing info in the zip (as a detached txt file). If his web site ever disappears the "Fonts in this site are offered free for any use; they may be opened, edited, modified, regenerated, posted, packaged and redistributed." statement will be lost (it's in the "License" font metadata field but sadly our font viewers seem not to display it right now so users will miss it

4. Since this is a non-standard licensing statement, please confirm with spot that "Freely redistributable without restriction" is the right licensing string to use

The rest of the package is pretty clean and was a pleasure to review, thank you

Comment 2 Tom "spot" Callaway 2009-10-19 14:36:20 UTC
"Copyright only" would be the appropriate licensing string to use.

Upstream prefers gdouros.

Upstream said he'd try to do that, but has not done so yet. I'm assuming he'll do that once he makes a new release.

Changed according to spot's comment.

I hope the process was pleasant, and that it will inspire you to package a
other fonts for Fedora. Please do not hesitate to suggest improvements to our
organisation or documentation on the fonts mailing list.

Thank you for another contribution to our font package pool.
