Bug ID: 1648825 Summary: Split and update smc-fonts to match upstream release Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: smc-fonts Severity: medium Assignee: petersen@redhat.com Reporter: rajeeshknambiar@gmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, nav007@gmail.com, petersen@redhat.com, psatpute@redhat.com, rajeeshknambiar@gmail.com
Description of problem: We haven't updated smc-fonts in 4 years in Fedora. A lot of updates and fixes were made and a new font was added by upstream in the meantime. With that, a lot of discussions on how to manage the releases of fonts also took place, because by then each font was being updated differently and was getting a different version number.
Upstream moved to Gitlab instead of Savannah and each font with its own version number is hosted in individual repository now, see https://gitlab.com/smc/fonts. Fedora can no longer depend on the existing packaging mechanism of single tarball and single makefile, as some fonts use different build tools (e.g. Manjari uses UFO+Fontmake) as well.
I've discussed with pravins and he suggests to split the fonts and open a bug for that.

--- Comment #1 from Nicolas Mailhot nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net --- That would be awfully nice.
Please note however that I will push a font packaging macro rewrite sometime this month in devel.

--- Comment #2 from Pravin Satpute psatpute@redhat.com --- Thanks Rajeesh for reporting bug. As we discussed, we were having same problem with lohit-fonts packages, Now each font is separate package and maintenance is easy.
