1. Do we really want to rename fonts? If yes, maybe we could use the "Provides" keyword in the spec file to hold the old name?
Yes, I believe we should. And indeed, there is a well definied procedure for renaming a package (Provides+Obsoletes).
Ok, documented in FATE#313035.
One option would be to also add a Provides with the Ubuntu name:
Name: roboto-fonts Provides: ttf-roboto
That's a good idea! I hope it doesn't introduce any problems. Anyway, I've added this to the ideas section in the above FATE entry so it don't get lost.
3. Is it anywhere documented?
It isn't, it must be added to the Packaging Guidelines for openSUSE when it's decided.
Fair enough. :)
4. Probably it is useful to open a FATE request?
Sure, why not.
I've created already one, use FATE#313035 for your comments, please.
It was just an idea, if there technical issues than I'm totally fine with the M17N repo. :) [...]
+1 for a new top-level repo.
Ok, "fonts" or "Fonts"? ;-) -- Gruß/Regards, Thomas Schraitle ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX Products GmbH (o< Maxfeldstrasse 5 /\\ Documentation Specialist 90409 Nuernberg, Germany _\_v http://www.suse.com | HRB 21284 SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer
