  are plenthora of them, but probably not under suitable licenses

Sorry, could you elaborate on what this means?

> Sorry, could you elaborate on what this means?

The package unikurd-fonts-web is sub-package of unikurd-fonts. I could create package unikurd-web-font and then package unikurd-penos-font, but I thought it will be better to have package unikurd-fonts and sub-package them according to actual font (web, penos, ...).

> --unofficial review--

Thank you for the nice unofficial review Ankur, I'll take up from there.

Michal: The spec is an almost perfect copy from official guidelines, that makes it easy to review, thanks

Blocking remarks

1. unless upstream has confirmed 1.0 is the actual font revision, and it will version further updates, please use 20020502 as version
⇒ check the version

2. Please add a fontconfig file as Ankur suggested. Since unikurd covers unicode blocks Behdad is interested in, I think it shouldn't be too hard to get him to help you (I doubt he wants you to stomp on farsi)
⇒ add some fontconfig rules

3. unless you *know* upstream is going to release new fonts in the same archive, there is no need to prepare for subpackaging. Upstream is just as likely to publish separate archives, which will mean separate packages (see the gfs fonts for examples). If upstream does end up adding new fonts to this very archive, you can always go the obsolete route
⇒ drop the "just in case" subpackaging

Non blocking remarks

1. please have upstream add the GPL font exception to their font
2. please have upstream provide sfd sources if they use fontforge

My version guess is based on output from gnome-font-viewer.

Says: "Version 1.00"

I am somewhat busy at the moment, this might take me some time, but I am definitely for have it packed.

Dropped.

See Fedora fonts ml. Just pinged them.

See Fedora fonts ml.

Unfortunately since 1.00 is the default in many font creation tools that does not mean anything. Experience shows you can have 6-7 successive font updates that all pretend they are 1.00 :(

Unless you've verified with upstream 1.00 is really 1.00, and the next one will be something else, the only safe version to use with fonts that declare themselves as 1.00 is the sfd/ttf file timestamp.

Ok, I guess this is not a blocker but it would be really nice to have.

This was just to trace it :) You've done it publicly and that's very good.

Ok, some more nitpicking: please use %defattr(644,root,root,755)

So:
1. fix the version
2. use %defattr(644,root,root,755)
3. add fontconfig rules (this can wait after import)
4. continue to ask to GPL exception and sfds

But in the meanwhile the package is APPROVED. Thank you for your persistence.

You can continue from 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle#3.a now. Please don't forget the comps and wiki bits.
