The following additional items were discussed; see the logs for full details.


 * Font package naming - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Font_package_naming_%282008-12-22%29
 * Passed back to the submitter with comments and questions.


 * Use of absolute symlinks in packages - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Absolute_symlinks_in_fonts_templates_%282009-01-02%29
 * Turns out that rpm can be made to convert all symlinks to relative ones transparently, so that's being experimented with first.
