Description of problem: jomolhari-fonts is composed onto install media and instaslled by default despite commenting out "## @ tibetan-support" in /usr/share/pungi/f8-fedora.ks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): jomolhari-fonts-0.003-4.fc8 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. comment-out "@ tibetan-support" in /usr/share/pungi/f8-fedora.ks by inserting a hash '#' at the beginning of the line 2. compuse install media using pungi; install with defaults 3. rpm -qa | grep jomolhari-fonts Actual results: jomolhari-fonts-0.003-4.fc8 Expected results: No jolmolhari-fonts because Tibetan language support was excluded explicitly. Additional info:
You have excluded tibetan-support but there is still "@bhutanese-support". jomolhari-fonts is shared between those two groups. Try to comment out bhutanese-support too.
Actually, I commented out every "@<language>-support" line, so I intended to cover all those bases. But Katz says that "base-x" demands some exotic fonts. Is this true? (If so, then there really isn't much flexibility in the "optional" @<language>-support lines.)
Exotic is in the eye of the beholder. If you want to remove every font but a specific set, you need both to comment out language groups and explicitely blacklist individual packages which are provided by generic groups. Language groups do not tag everything associated with a particular language, just everything to add for a particular language in addition to distro defaults. Otherwise removing every group would leave you with no fonts or localizations at all. Generaly speaking fine-tuning package sets requires reading the comps files fedora uses. They reflect policy, not technical defaults and policy is very subjective. BTW none of your bugs are related to the packages themselves, so please close them or reassign them to the component responsible for comps (I guess it's distribution)
I think this is also a duplicate of bug 360861. Though I am not sure how many Fedora users really need a Tibetan font by default, so I concede that jomolhari-fonts may be considered a more exotic than most of the other Asian fonts we install now by default. On the other hand some people might misinterpret such a change as political, and so until we have some better guidelines or criteria for fonts defaults I would rather keep things as they are.
I am going to close this for now, since our current policy is basically to install font coverage by default for as many languages as we can.
