Dear packager,
At 20091029T192211Z, while scanning the rawhide repository located at:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/static-repos/dist-rawhide-current/x86_64/
I have identified the following problems in your fonts-ISO8859-2 package:
SRPM RPM 3 4 5 14 16 19
fonts-ISO8859-2 fonts-ISO8859-2 15 15 15 15 15 15
fonts-ISO8859-2 fonts-ISO8859-2-100dpi 190 190 190 190 190 190
fonts-ISO8859-2 fonts-ISO8859-2-75dpi 190 190 190 190 190 190
Total 395 395 395 395 395 395
3. Fonts in packages that contain non-font data
☛ Please do not mix font files with non-font data in packages. Fonts are
usually useful outside of the package that deploys them and should be
installable without pulling in other material.
4. Fonts in packages that do not declare font metadata
☛ Font-specific rpm metadata is required for automatic font installation to
work. If you apply our font packaging templates, it will be generated at
package creation time.
5. Fonts in packages that do not respect font naming conventions
☛ Please respect font package naming conventions and provide consistent
packages to users. Some scripts may depend on strict package naming.
14. Fonts rpmlint errors on
☛ Check rpmlint output to fix those packages (using the -i flag if you
don't understand it).
16. Fonts fc-query can not parse
☛ fc-query could not parse some font files in the package. The files may be
malformed and in need of fixing, or fc-query has a bug (in that case,
please report the problem so it is fixed).
Any font file rejected by fc-query will be useless in fontconfig and most
applications. If it can not be fixed drop it.
19. Fonts that do not pass fontlint sanity checks
☛ Fontforge's fontlint¹ test suite found problems in some files included in
the package. Those problems may not be obvious and only manifest as strange
behaviour in specific applications (making them hard to debug). For that
reason it is recommanded to report those problems upstream and get them
fixed, even if the font file seems to work fine most of the time.
You can ask help about specific fontlint errors on:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fontforge-users

Please take the appropriate measures to fix the fonts-ISO8859-2 package.
I will warn you again if I find problems next time I am ran.
Your friendly QA robot,
