Description: 
مجموعة الخطوط الأميرية ذات المظهر الأنيق و التّراث العتيق .
Amiri font is an open font revival of the Arabic Naskh typeface
designed and first used by Bulaq Press in Cairo (Maṭbaʿtu Būlāq, also known as
Āl-Maṭbaʿtu Āl-Āmīriīaʰ) in the early 2th century.  Amiri's uniqueness comes
from its superb balance between the beauty of Naskh calligraphy and the
requirements of elegant typography.  Amiri is most suitable for running text
and book printing.

Comment 3 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2013-10-17 19:32:37 UTC
This is pretty far from the guidelines... See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:FontsPolicy.

Comment 4 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-10-18 19:25:31 UTC
Ok , rewiting in progress >>>

Comment 6 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2013-10-19 22:47:07 UTC
Some high-level problems:

1. Guidelines say that fonts must be built from sources, if those are provided. Here they are provided.

2. -web fonts are the same as in the main package with just some metainformation removed to save space. I don't think we normally package that. I think it is normal to just put .woff and other formats in the same -fonts package.

3. Some of your descriptions in Arabic are not the same as in English, afaict. This is supposed to be a translation, not a separate text.

4. -common just contains some documentation. It would be better to call it -docs.
Also, -fonts packages should not depend on it. It is enough to include a copy of the license file in the -fonts packages.

5. License file is not packaged.

6. There's no need to remove the buildroot.

7. You can drop the empty %files sections and the two "meta" packages. What are they useful for?

Comment 7 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-10-19 23:22:58 UTC
Thanx for reply.

1 - When I build it from source directly, nothing done because the destination of built fonts already busy, Also building of the font requirs gpp command I couldn't find it in Fedora repos.

2 - Did you mean to renaming files of -web?

3 - Arabic and English texts isn't matching 100% , but as whole they serve one idea.

4 - I taked (common) name from complex formal font spec, and I doesn't have problems to call it (docs), also the requires line.

5 - Ok ^_^ , (License alredy included in ttf files ^_^),

I'll package it :)

6 - OK

7 - OK

--------------

Thank you Zbigniew , this is longest spec I wrote ever, so I wrote it slowly.

Comment 8 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-10-19 23:30:43 UTC
For point 7 , I think (amiri-fonts) meta package make download of the fonts as group more easy .

I think this way must be formal in Fedora ^_^

You can do 'make clean' to get rid of the generated files.

gpp is now at #1021164.

> 2 - Did you mean to renaming files of -web?
No, I meant to remove (not install) the files in -web.

> 3 - Arabic and English texts isn't matching 100% , but as whole they serve

The Arabic should be a translation of the English one...

The example from the wiki doesn't really fit here, so some adjustments must be made.

Current spec looks nice. Let's see if is viable to build from source.

Comment 11 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2013-10-22 05:26:49 UTC
sfntly has been packaged: #912686, I think it is the same thing as sfnttool.
gpp is in #1021164.
fntsample, pdfoutline, latexmk are available.

So I think it is viable to build from source.

I'm not a sponsor, and I cannot sponsor you into the packager group. You'll have to find someone to do that. It would certainly be nice to polish this package so that it satisfies all guidelines, I'll by happy to help by doing further (informal) reviews of this package. It also *does* help if you do informal reviews of other packages, before you are sponsored.

Comment 12 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-10-22 05:42:53 UTC
I can sponsor the reporter provided he will show package reviews done on other package review bugs where he can show he has helped in finding issues and providing fix for them.

Comment 13 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-10-22 23:04:09 UTC
Zbigniew ::
This font couldn't built by FontForge, It built by fork of it found here:
https://bitbucket.org/sortsmill/sortsmill-tools
That what Khaled Hosny (maintainer of Amiri complex font) said.

So I tried to build sortsmill, but it need gnulib to build. I surprised that gnulib isn't found in Fedora repo !!

So I worked hard to package it #1022283

-----------

Parag ::
Thank you for your attention, I did 7 package reveiw bugs ::

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?component=Package%20Review&email1=moceap%40hotmail.com&emailreporter1=1&emailtype1=substring&list_id=1829241&query_format=advanced

GnuLib is the last one I did to package sortsmill to package Amiri fonts :)

Really I want your sponsor to push these packages (and others) into Fedora.

-----------

Kind Regards
Mosaab

Comment 14 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-10-23 07:52:49 UTC
Thanks for submitting 7 packages for review but you need to do package review of other people's submitted packages reviews.

Comment 15 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-10-23 10:41:09 UTC
Ok . I read 4 package review new bugs and wrote my notes:

#1021721 #1022407 #1021749

Thank You again Parag.

Comment 16 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2013-10-23 20:08:47 UTC
(Strong suggestion:) Please install fedora-review, and use it on your *own* review requests. It will point out obvious things, letting the reviewers concentrate on subtler things and reduce the review time.

Also, use it on *other* people's review requests, even pasting the whole review.txt with your own comments notes into comments on the tickets. This will show your sponsor that you can review other packages.

Comment 17 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-10-25 07:01:26 UTC
Mosaab,
  Do some full reviews of new packages not just one or two comments. I will be happy to sponsor then.

Comment 18 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-10-25 07:26:50 UTC
Ok I'll search. These was latest 3 new review bugs !!

Comment 19 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-10-26 22:47:46 UTC
First full-reviesion : bug 1023619

Comment 20 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2013-10-27 16:43:53 UTC
I learnt in another review that .woffs are not supposed to be packaged: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Web_Assets#Fonts.

Comment 21 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-10-27 17:14:31 UTC
That's right. Whichever format upstream is providing fonts, try to package ttf or otf only if available that format.

For fonts packages its recommended to create a font package information on Fedora wiki page with In_progress category page which when font package review gets approved moved to packaged font category.
See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:In-progress_fonts

Comment 22 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-10-27 23:48:06 UTC
* Well, I'll remove web fonts.
* Font already now at the wiki.
* CC Amiri Maintainer.

Comment 23 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-10-28 00:59:05 UTC
- Dropped .woff fonts.
- Update description by official one.
- Make this package ready for building if it possible later.

Looks good.

Comment 27 Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2013-10-28 22:36:50 UTC
In my opinion, package is good. Un-assigning, since I'm not a sponsor.

Note, link to wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Amiri_fonts

Comment 28 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-11-04 05:53:45 UTC
I see that you have started reviewing other new packages. Please do 2 more full reviews and show that you understand packaging and can find issues in packages and can provide fixes to them.

I am taking this for official review but will do so once I see your reviews done on other packages.

Comment 29 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-11-06 01:09:41 UTC
Thank you Parag for your attention, Done: #1025601 #1025052

Comment 30 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-11-09 15:00:09 UTC
Thanks. I will resume this review on Monday and will sponsor you.

Comment 31 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-11-11 05:39:06 UTC
suggestions:
1) your source download link should be
 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/amiri/%{fontname}-%{version}.tar.bz2

2) good to always truncate your long lines with 80 characters per line
# Sorts Mill tools (and others) which necessary to rebuild Amiri fonts isn't
# released in Fedora yet. Enable the disabled-lines when rebuilding of Amiri
# fonts possible.

but I will suggest you better clean the spec and let not include comments and sorts mill tools information.

We have many font packages which are not built from source so not a hard requirement. Just install binary files for now.

3) your fontconfig files should look neat as
a)amiri-fontconfig.conf
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "../fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
        <alias>
          <family>sans-serif</family>
            <prefer>
              <family>Amiri</family>

        <alias>
          <family>Amiri</family>
            <default>
              <family>sans-serif</family>
            </default>
        </alias>
</fontconfig>

b)amiri-quran-fontconfig.conf
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "../fonts.dtd">

            <default>
              <family>sans-serif</family>
            </default>
        </alias>
</fontconfig>

4) font package name should be [foundryname-]projectname[-fontfamilyname]-fonts, in lowercase. 

so you should install amiri-boldslanted.ttf, amiri-bold.ttf, amiri-regular.ttf,
amiri-slanted.ttf from main amiri-fonts package
and
amiri-quran.ttf font from amiri-quran-fonts package

5) I don't think we need this font to be default Arabic font in Fedora. I will suggest to use 67 or 68 fontconfig priority like other fonts are using. Good to keep 67 priority as we have one example as 67-paktype-naskh-basic.conf

6) you should add -common package and not -doc package. Also, all other documentation files to -common package.

7) then, this -common be added to amiri-fonts and amiri-quran-fonts as
Requires: amiri-fonts-common

Feel free to ask me if you got any doubts in above.

Provide new srpm that fixes above issues.

Amiri is a serif, not a sans-serif font.

Amiri Quran is a special font for typesetting Quran (it has a very high line hight, only support characters used in Quran, some typographic choices not generally suitable for regular text), so I don’t think such an alias is a good idea.

Comment 33 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-11-11 08:23:32 UTC
Ouch! you are right. I forgot to change it to serif as it was just copy paste from some other fontconfig file.

a)amiri-fontconfig.conf
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "../fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
        <alias>
          <family>serif</family>
            <prefer>
              <family>Amiri</family>
            </prefer>
        </alias>
        <alias>
          <family>Amiri</family>
            <default>
              <family>serif</family>
            </default>
        </alias>
</fontconfig>

b) Khaled you suggest not to include any fontconfig file for Amiri Quran font?

I think it is better not to provide one.

Comment 35 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-11-11 09:25:14 UTC
Thank You for attention (and for invitation) Parag
Thank You for your notes Khaled (maintainer of Amiri)

- Fix Sourceforg link in Source0.
- Decrease instructions to rebuild Amiri from the source.
- Replace -docs by -common.
- Change font priority to 67.
- Improve font config.
- The fonts in one family so it united into 1 main package instead of 2.
- -common to be main package require.

Comment 36 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-11-11 09:38:44 UTC
1) You need subpackage for Amiri Quran. Don't remove it. We add fonts (sub-)packages per family. Here, Amiri Quran is one family for amiri-quran.ttf and all other fonts under family name Amiri.

so as said before, amiri-fonts installs  amiri-boldslanted.ttf, amiri-bold.ttf, amiri-regular.ttf, amiri-slanted.ttf 
And
amiri-quran-fonts installs  amiri-quran.ttf

and then -common is needed by amiri-quran-fonts subpackage also.

2) you can remove following 
%doc 
and instead make all docs files be owned/installed by -common subpackage

%files common
%doc documentation/*  OFL.txt OFL-FAQ.txt

Comment 37 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-11-11 10:14:23 UTC
Then, is amiri-quran-fontconfig.conf still needed?

Comment 38 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-11-11 11:10:56 UTC
generally we add fontconfig files per family per subpackage. I think if font is not supposed to be used as a desktop font but only for writing text then we can drop fontconfig file.

Nicolas,
  If you are reading this package review emails then we need your input here.

The guidelines intent is to treat all fonts the same and not assume users will only use them in a particular way. Packages have a long life and it's always worthwhile not to restrict hteir use beforehand.

Comment 40 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-11-11 15:45:28 UTC
Mosaab,

1)Add the fontconfig amiri-quran-fonts.conf file and submit new srpm for further review. Note this is also serif font so add accordingly in fontconfig file.

2) I saw your recent spec. You should write -common as

--------------------------------------------------------------------
%package common
Summary:        Common files for %{name}
Requires:       fontpackages-filesystem

%description common
%common_desc

This package consists of files used by other %{name} packages.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

3) your main package should drop
Requires:       fontpackages-filesystem
as this is already added in -common

4) I tried to find some recent examples for font packages but could not find spec as per updated guidelines but here are some that you should see.
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ecolier-court-fonts.git/plain/ecolier-court-fonts.spec

Comment 41 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-11-11 17:21:20 UTC
- Re-split into main and Quran fonts.
- Improve Amiri Quran font config.
- Add license files to -common, dropped from others.
- Drop fontpackages-filesystem requires from main package.

I’m not sure I follow here, but Amiri Quran is just a modified version of Amiri with reduced character set and defaults suitable only for typesetting Quran.

Comment 43 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-11-12 04:34:49 UTC
Though Amiri font is not yet in Fedora and Amiri Quran is modified version of Amiri font, Let's take reference of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Shipping_fonts_in_Fedora_%28FAQ%29#What_if_my_package_bundles_a_modified_version_of_an_existing_Fedora_font.3F

Then the last submitted srpm is ready for final review.

Comment 44 Parag AN(पराग) 2013-11-13 15:44:28 UTC
I had a look at the last submitted srpm and looks good except summary which should be =>
A classical Arabic font in Naskh style

and ?? in spec should be changed to 67

I have also sponsored you. Make sure you follow current guidelines while doing any package review or writing spec files. When in doubt email me or ask on fedora devel mailing list for any required help.

submit another srpm fixing above issues and I will approve this package.

Comment 45 Mosaab Alzoubi 2013-11-13 17:21:58 UTC
- Change variable font priority to 67 in font_pkg line.
- Reform Summary.
