Hello,
After lurking for quite some time in the fedora lists, I think I can give it
a go and start maintain some Fedora Extras packages. My first two packages
are tetex-font-kerkis (an extras orphan) and mgopen-fonts (a greek ttf font
released under a licence similar to bitstream vera).
The packages are in this location:
http://gallagher.di.uoa.gr/any/rpms/
For the tetex-font-kerkis package:
I have updated the package in CVS to support the newer tetex-3 shipped with
FC4, as can be seen in the bugs
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=159279 and
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=160300
For the mgopen-fonts package:
I have created an rpm containing the font files, modeled after the
bitstream-vera rpm. Information about this font can be found at
http://www.ellak.gr/fonts/mgopen/
An RFE in bugzilla has more information about the licence, the origins, the
looks and other questions raised
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=158032
It is slated as FC5Target. In the mean time, it would be good to have
quality greek fonts as part of Extras.
Now, is there anything else I should do to promote these packages? I will
apply for a CVS account if it is OK.
Thanks,
