[opensuse-m17n] Font packages
I recently submitted some font packages (ancient scripts) to M17N. I think I did a mistake naming them as foo-fonts. What's the police for package names? Was that naming scheme right? --B Baron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help@opensuse.org

I vaguely remember that there were some guidelines in Wiki, but in practice, we have no strict rule for it, so far. Some packages are named as is, some are as *-fonts, and some fonts-* or *-ttf-* or such. Most likely named from the original source tarball. I find *-fonts name is OK, unless someone has a strong objection. They are still only in M17N, not in FACTORY, so we are free to change for now. thanks, Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help@opensuse.org

Well, I think is just better to have a ''standarized" naming scheme. What about just using the font names, so instead of *foo* we name it just foo. (ej. symbola-fonts -> symbola, ttf-alee->alee). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help@opensuse.org

IMO, having prefix or suffix makes easier to identify that it's a font package. I vaguely remember that there is a (tentative) packaging rule for fonts, but I couldn't find it in Wiki. But there should be still there... Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help@opensuse.org

You mean: http://old-en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Fonts_Policy#Naming Those naming guidelines look good to me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-m17n+help@opensuse.org
