Spec URL: http://sven.lank.es/Fedora/SPECS/dustismo.spec SRPM URL: http://sven.lank.es/Fedora/SRPM/dustismo-fonts-20030207-1.fc11.src.rpm Description: Dustismo is a font by Dustin Norlander with serif and sans-serif versions Upstream seems pretty much dead - none of the urls work. Dustismo is needed by the kdeedu package which currently ships with the font embedded (see bz #477406).
GPLv2+ is a bad license for fonts in Fedora. I recommend you find a suitable replacement. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal_considerations_for_fonts
(In reply to comment #1) > GPLv2+ is a bad license for fonts in Fedora. True. Nevertheless currently we do accept GPL-only fonts in Fedora, as long as their packagers continue to try to locate right holders and add the FSF Font exception to the license. There are just too many GPL-only fonts :( Just don't use them to create PDFs
I have contacted the author and asked about his thoughts on relicensing as GPL + Font Exceptions. Considering that all his websites are down (and have been down for quite a while) I'm not sure the email will ever reach him (at least I haven't received a bounce for it).
Hi Sven, Thank you for this new font package! Dustimo is a neat font that suffers from a missing upstream. We'll accept it nevertheless, but please continue to try getting an upstream response even after the package integration (sfd sources, addition of the font exception to the license). Anyway: — Right now the best font source is probably Debian, as the font was created for this distribution. They have a more current dustimo.zip in their ttf-dustin package (20030318) — Please make separate sans and sans-serif subpackages using the multi template in fontpackages-devel — Please add fontconfig declarations to each subpackage. It's not difficult, just fill in the basic template in fontpackages-devel (you can ask for help on the list if you have a problem at some point) — you don't really need to add an archivename if its value is the same as fontname — please don't deviate from the template and use the provided macros or we'll have no end of problems lates ⇒ NEEDINFO till this is taken care of
(In reply to comment #4) Spec-URL: http://sven.lank.es/Fedora/SPECS/dustismo-fonts.spec SRPM-URL: http://sven.lank.es/Fedora/SRPM/dustismo-fonts-20030318-1.fc11.src.rpm Updated SPEC - the spec should address all the issues you listed.
This looks good, a variant on the multi template I hadn't seen before, but it works. Please also consider adding a dustin- prefix to the package name especially if you intend to package more fonts by the same author (This is a proposed guideline which is not official yet, so I won't block on it. However if the guideline is approved you'll earn a renaming later.) http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Font_package_naming_(2008-12-22) Anyway, the package is ⬢⬢⬢ APPROVED ⬢⬢⬢ You can continue on from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle#3.a Reassigning as I've done my part. Return review of bug #475661 would be appreciated (wink wink)
