+ koji build => http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1388894
+ rpmlint is silent
- seems /usr/share/fonts/saab is created twice so remove following line from SPEC
%dir %{_fontdir}
+ verified upstream source as
aa8a32819d51b701a1d45a674d17432937f06ac3  saab.0.91.zip
+ Otherwise following fonts packaging guidelines.

Should:
1) SHOULD: If the source package does not include license text(s) as a separate file from upstream, the packager SHOULD query upstream to include it. 


APPROVED.

Comment 7 Nicolas Mailhot 2009-06-03 06:46:42 UTC
I'm a bit late but anyway:

1.  adding a fontconfig file to the package would be nice so it's substituted correctly

2. it would have been nicer to name the font guca-saab-fonts as per guidelines. If guca ever publishes another font the package will need to be renamed (not a blocker in the meanwhile)

Comment 8 A S Alam 2009-06-03 09:40:50 UTC
I have update SPEC file as well fontconfig file.
SPEC file:
http://aalam.fedorapeople.org/punjabi-fonts/saab/saab-fonts.spec
SRPM:
http://aalam.fedorapeople.org/punjabi-fonts/saab/saab-fonts-0.91-2.fc11.src.rpm

Can you please check whether it will work or not?
Thanks

> Can you please check whether it will work or not?

1. Unless saab is derived from lohit punjabi and they have the same look and metrics I'd really not include

  <alias binding="same">
    <family>Lohit Punjabi</family>
    <accept>
      <family>Saab</family>
    </accept>
  </alias>

2. The 90 priority is safe, but very conservative. I'd discuss with the Lohit people and i18n if Saab could not be bumped a little.

3. Please cc the fonts list on fonts review so the right people get cc-ed

4. Please also check you didn't miss any step in

thanks Nicolas for your reply. I will check what you have asked above.

Comment 11 Parag AN(पराग) 2009-07-14 10:58:21 UTC
Lohit Punjabi and Saab font are different fonts. What benefits will be after bumping conf file priority to 91?

so new conf file will be
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "../fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <alias>
    <family>sans-serif</family>
    <prefer>
      <family>Saab</family>
    </prefer>
  </alias>
  <alias>
    <family>Saab</family>
    <default>
      <family>serif</family>
    </default>
  </alias>
</fontconfig>

Comment 12 Parag AN(पराग) 2009-07-14 11:16:21 UTC
Just discussed with nim-nim. Please use 66 as priority for fontconfig file.

Comment 13 Parag AN(पराग) 2009-08-04 10:08:32 UTC
Hi,
  You can use following SRPM to update fontconfig file in cvs.
