Hi,
I wanted to point out that with new texlive in F18+ we have some duplication of fonts src packages: eg
ctan-cm-lgc-fonts and texlive-cm-lgc (subpackage) [1]
ctan-kerkis-fonts and texlive-kerkis (subpackage)
I have communicated with Jindrich about this over bugzilla and for now I removed the tex subpackages from the ctan-*-fonts packages and he obsoleted the old tex-* subpackages from the texlive subpackages.
That is all well and good but it still seems wrong to be duplicating fonts sources over different src packages. Maybe texlive needs to start getting into the business of also generating fedora fonts packages? Or some other way could be found to improve this. Or do we just treat texlive as an exception?

Texlive does need to start into the business of also generating fedora fonts packages. Though one can't fault Jindrich over priorizing making tex work before touching fonts
Also there need to be some sorting between fonts that originate elsewhere (and texlive repackages) → those need killing tex-side and be packaged from their real upstream, and fonts that are maintained tex-side
