Hello, $SUBJECT is right and it is intentional but I cannot know why - seems to be top secret ;-) Rick Salevsky, what is the reason that release-notes-openSUSE requires google-opensans-fonts and dejavu-fonts?

The use of Open Sans Fonts would be consistent with the openSUSE branding guidelines... http://opensuse.github.io/branding-guidelines/ Maybe the html version of the release notes is going in that direction?

Right, the HTML version needs the font. BTW, all openSUSE documentations needs this font. So removing it is a bad Idea. ;)

Absent heroic countermeasures, that particular page is useless except as a demonstration how not to style a web page that anyone needs to be able to read anything more than the largest headings on. Whatever A11Y & U7Y may be there is well disguised.
Maybe the html version of the release notes is going in that direction?
Right, the HTML version needs the font. BTW, all openSUSE documentations needs this font. So removing it is a bad Idea. ;)
There is no such thing is HTML needing any particular font. CSS may declare the stylist's preference for some particular font, but HTML ultimately is there for the reader, who may choose to have as little as one font available for any purpose, and is the ultimate authority[1] whether a page's CSS should have any effect at all. Wanting to not see any particular font otherwise unncecessary is not justification for preventing installation of release notes. IOW, suggests or recommends for Google's Opensans is OK, but not requires.

What exactly does "needs the font" mean? Why exactly is removing it a bad idea? Would the HTML version and all other openSUSE documentation not work without that specific fonts or would it only no longer look nice (but still be readable) without that specific fonts? In general RPM requirements should be only used for essential stuff i.e. for what is mandatory to make it work. For anything else RPM recommends should be used. RPM Requires are hard dependencies that cannot be skipped by end-users (without having unresolved dependencies in their systems) and release-notes-openSUSE is installed on any system so that all RPM Requires in release-notes-openSUSE result that all those hard dependencies must be installed on any system in any case. If I remember correctly the openSUSE build service installs all RPM Requires to set up the build system of a package so that all RPM Requires in a package result that all those hard dependencies must be installed in our build systems for any other package that directly or indirectly BuildRequires the package. In short: Keep RPM Requires as small as possible - i.e. only what is really mandatory to make it work - and specify all what is optional (i.e. what is not really mandatory) as RPM Recommends.

When I remember correctly then the page is complete broken. But I'am not 100% sure. So I will test it to see whats happen. Maybe we can also adapt the docbook-style to resolve this.

Good point, when it work without the font then I will adapt the spec file. @Felix: Can you open a bug report for tracking this issue? Thanks, Rick -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
