[Fedora-packaging] Re: Fonts packaging policy rewrite proposal

A fonts packaging policy rewrite proposal has been pushed to FPC
today:
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/934
It should be clearer, more opinionated, and take into account:
– updates of The OpenType standard
– variable fonts
– web fonts
– upstream depreciation of non OpenType formats
– appstream & fonts
– weak dependencies
– and probably more I forget here
And the proposal has now been approved by FPC:
https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-1/2020-02-13/fpc.202...
It shall soon replace the content in
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/FontsPolicy/
and make it easier to create good font packages in Fedora.
It is based on the new fonts-rpm-macros project for automation:
The associated review request is here
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1803281
Depending on how long the review takes, some of the material in
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nim/fonts-rpm-macros/builds/
may end up in Fedora 32, or slip to the next release.
If it slips pre Fedora 33 font package changes will probably be limited
to conservative updates.
