--- Comment #1 from Hans Ulrich Niedermann <rhbugs at n-dimensional.de>  2009-02-04 10:27:47 EDT ---
So far, the package names were as follows:

  SRPM: terminus-font
  RPM:  terminus-font-x11
        (X11 bitmap font set in normal/bold and several sizes)
  RPM:  terminus-font-console
        (console bitmap font set in normal/bold and several character sets)

The new rules say "Fedora font packages are named
[foundryname-]projectname[-fontfamilyname]-fonts, in lowercase".

I can't see any foundry, upstream[1]'s project name is "Terminus Font - a clean
fixed width font", I don't see a special "fontfamilyname", so my package would
need to be called "terminus-font-fonts"?

Changing from old "terminus-font" to "terminus-fonts" with a trailing s could
sound better and be less redundant and confusing.

Presuming I have eventually worked out the proper name to call the SRPM, I will
call the package containing the X11 font files the same, after the
[foundryname-]projectname[-fontfamilyname]-fonts naming scheme.

But what happens with the console fonts? %{name}-console would violate the
[foundryname-]projectname[-fontfamilyname]-fonts naming scheme. Or are all the
"fonts" rules only applying to X11 fonts anyway and there are no rules for
console fonts? I could do a "-n terminus-font-console" to keep the old package
name in the latter case.

Anyway, I'd really like to build the package with the console fonts in the same
source package if possible.
