This is a rename for mozilla-fira-sans-fonts, more info about the rationale for that can be found at issue 2308744.

Comment 1 Mateus Rodrigues Costa 2025-06-23 21:14:50 UTC
A few notes:

I plan to split the packages as follow:
* The spec will be called "bbox-fira-fonts" (I'm having issue with this)
* Sans and Mono will be "bbox-fira-sans-fonts" and "bbox-fira-mono-fonts" respectively
* Doc and all could be "bbox-fira-fonts-doc" and "bbox-fira-fonts-all" (I am not worrying too much about this)

I had issues with the %setup macro so I am using unzip manually. I also had issues with setting up OFL.txt for the license, so I ended with two copies.
The Obsoletes and Provides should be fine, as required for the rename.

Hello,
I do realize that this is possibly an old ticket. I am sorry that it hasn't been
reviewed yet. Let me trigger the Fedora Review Service to see if the package
builds successfully. Hopefully, a green check mark will attract some reviewer.

If I am resurrecting an old ticket that you are not interested in anymore, my
apologies, feel free to close it.

Cannot find any valid SRPM URL for this ticket. Common causes are:

- You didn't specify `SRPM URL: ...` in the ticket description
  or any of your comments
- The URL schema isn't HTTP or HTTPS
- The SRPM package linked in your URL doesn't match the package name specified
  in the ticket summary

Hello all, I'm putting a indefinite hold on my role as a Fedora Contributor.
Since the original Mozilla Fira fonts have been orphaned for a long time they were removed from repos, but we already had Fira Code and I helped adding FiraGO.
However adding the newer Bbox version of the Fira fonts is blocked on this Bugzilla issue.

Since I won't be here to help it is up to someone else to finish the review process.
But I should say that since FiraGO is a extended version of Fira Sans and Fira code is based on Fira Mono with added programming ligatures, you might not really need the original Fira fonts (whether the Mozilla or Bbox version).

Also apparently a variable version is a thing now by the name of Firava: https://github.com/hellogreg/firava
