Category:Fonts packaging

Fonts packaging has its particularities; this page is intended as a one-way stop for the new fonts packager or reviewer.



Introduction
The whole lifecycle of a font package, and the role played by packagers in it, are explained in this article.

If you'd like to help beef up Fedora fonts offerings, but do not know where to start, check:
 * our localization fonts requirements,
 * the list of fonts waiting for a packager, and
 * the list of font packages waiting for a reviewer (raw bugzilla list)

Plumbing
Our general fonts packaging policy is described there. It is completed by templates and documentation shipped within the fontpackages-devel package (some of this information is duplicated in the wiki, but fontpackages-devel will usually be more complete and up-to-date).

Lastly, if you've never created an rpm package before, the following beginner document may help: creating package howto.
