The IPA font spec file is a bit outdate. You can clean up the spec file for new packages a bit. Namely,
- Recent packages tend to omit "Authors" list in the package description - The conversion of *.txt via dos2unix is unlikely needed for this package - Better to use %{version} to Sources and %setup macro as much as possible
Otherwise looks fine to me. Feel free to submit first to M17N repo. Then we can adjust fonts-config to put this as a preferred font, then eventually submit to openSUSE 11.3.
There are a few places where IPA fonts are used statically, e.g. in the installation. These can be fixed once after this new font is merged.
I've followed the advices and revised some additional minor problems, including:
- Changed the package name to 'takao-fonts' (former name was 'takeo- fonts' due to my typo :-P) - 2009 -> 2010 in Copyright description in spec file - Removed dos2unix from BuildRequires - Added README* and ChangeLog to each %doc sections
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=takao-fonts&project=home%3AH...
One more thing I'm not sure is, whether it is OK or not, that I divided the package into 4 RPMs - TakaoGothic, TakaoMincho, TakaoPGothic and TakaoPMincho. That's because I referred to the spec file for IPAPGothic package.
Thanks. This split is fine, especially if this font is supposed to replace IPA fonts. IPA and other fonts are split to each font style in the case you need only one style. For example, in the YaST installation, only IPAPGothic is loaded on the system to save the memory size.
If there are no other problems by packaging, can I submit the package directly to M17N repo instead of M17N:Devel repo ?
