Spec Url: http://guava.farsiweb.info/~roozbeh/fonttools.spec SRPM Url: http://guava.farsiweb.info/~roozbeh/fonttools-2.0-0.1.20060103cvs.src.rpm Description: TTX/FontTools is a tool for manipulating TrueType and OpenType fonts. It is written in Python and has a BSD-style, open-source license. TTX can dump TrueType and OpenType fonts to an XML-based text format and vice versa. Additional notes: 1. The reason for this being a CVS version is that the upstream's latest release has been in September 2002, while the maintainer has continually referred to the CVS version for bugfixes since then. 2. I prefer to name the package "ttx" (the name of the only binary the package provides) instead of "fonttools", because "ttx" is the name most users know this by. I stayed with "fonttools" because the Extras naming policy leans toward upstream names, and also because SUSE ships it (the September 2002 version) under the name "fonttools". 3. This is practically a binary and a module. I don't think any other application uses the module, but if that's the case, I may be able to make this two packages, one named "ttx" and another named "python-fonttools", or if I can name the package "ttx", I can add a "Provides" of "python-fonttools".

Review for release 0.2.20060103cvs: * RPM name is OK * Builds fine in mock * rpmlint of fonttools looks OK * File list of fonttools looks OK Needs work: * Encoding should be UTF-8 * No downloadable source. Please give the full URL in the Source tag. I know the source from cvs are not downloadable but it is a MUST item. Maybe you can ask maintainer to make a snapshot ?

It seems that the developer has created snapshots not long before stopping the development.

Thanks a lot for the review. Imported and built.
Roozbeh, I need this package in EPEL6 as its dependency on python-robofab. If you are interested to maintain this in EPEL6 then you are always welcome but if not please allow me to own EPEL6 branch. We have left less time to build python-robofab(and fonttools) in EPEL6. Please provide your comments here.
ping Roozbeh?
I suppose its enough waiting here. Also, no reply to personal mails. Please process my cvs request and if in future Roozbeh will be back then I am willing to give ownership to him in EPEL6.
