There are two > problems here: > > 1. it looks like rpm is generating an encoded string as a provide Since the autoprovides stuff extracts metadata from the font files, and I don't think any font format spec mandates this metadata must be ASCII only, this is pretty much required to work with font files. > 2. rpm-python appears to be claiming it is a string object This is probably the bug > Additionally the provides generated by the fontprov script are; > > config(apanov-edrip-fonts) = 20081007-7.fc11 > font(:lang=ava) ... > font(edrip) > font(едрип) This font file declares two names, one ASCII and the other — not. This is an upstream choice. Each of the names can be referenced in a digital document, wo we can't really drop it if we want autoinstall to work. > apanov-edrip-fonts = 20081007-7.fc11 > > > Do we really want an '=' in the name section of a provide? I kinda hope we do > not. Behdad really liked this syntax, it's very close to the kind of options every fontconfig command knows how to process. Since it was properly enclosed in a font() namespace Panu and Richard let it be. > I think the provides script needs some love It's not a script it's a binary that was coded for packaging systems such as rpm/pk The problem I have with that any syntax change requires a rebuild of all the packages providing fonts before the next release (including beasts like OO.o) and I'd really like not to do one every other week. > and I think we need to figure out > what rpm-python is doing with the objects it is getting. > > Panu, Florian, Jindrich comments? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list
