Putting it all together.
The following is a quick summary to help newcomers undertand the Fonts SIG workflow.
Who are they?
Requester and Packager can be the same person. Reviewer must be different from the Packager.
Requester and Packager can be the same person. Reviewer must be different from the Packager.
| Phase | # | Who | Actions | Requirements | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conception | 1 | Requester |
.png){kind=small} Don't stop there
This is a simplistic summary, do read our legal page before proposing new fonts.
|
| |
| Gestation | 2.a | Packager |
|
 Font packages are normal packages
Most packaging steps are detailed on the general new fedora packager page. | |
| 2.b | Reviewer |
| |||
| 2.c | Packager |
| |||
| 2.d | Reviewer |
|
|||
| Birth | 3.a | Packager |
| ||
| 3.b | Requester |
|
|||
| Life | 4.a | Packager |
Be conservative
Users to not like continuous updates for small changes. Update in fedora-devel (rawhide) early and often. Think twice before pushing changes to other branches. |
Don't leave now
Please avoid fire and forget packaging. | |
| 4.b | Users |
|
Bugzilla is required
Packagers are not psychic, they don't monitor the whole web for problems, if you want them to address yours, please use our bugzilla. | ||
| Death | 5 | Fedora QA | A change in Fedora policies or a problem missed earlier may cause a font package to be retired. | ||
