With cooperation from Athos Ribiero, Parag Nemade, and Benson Muite,
I’ve completed all of the necessary dependency work and posted fontmake
for review at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2331684. Thanks!
I’m targeting Rawhide only for now, since I’m reluctant to upgrade
python-glyphsLib from 5.x to 6.x in stable releases, but that should be
a compatible upgrade in practice, so it’s probably feasible to bring
fontmake to F41 and F40 if someone really needs it.
I also opened a PR for cascadia-code-fonts,
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cascadia-code-fonts/pull-request/3.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to go as far as actually building the font
from sources with fontmake, but the PR does at least take a few steps in
that direction.

I had the idea of packaging fontmake on my back burner long ago,
although I had abandoned the project. I just pulled together a draft
spec file, https://music.fedorapeople.org/fontmake.spec. The current
version of fontmake looks reasonably straightforward to package, with
the following caveats:
- no pathops extra; this would require a python-skia-pathops
package, which is nontrivial due to the involvement of Skia
- no autohint extra for now; this would require a
python-ttfautohint-py package, which is probably feasible
- no repacker extra for now; this would require a
python-uharfbuzz package, and then enabling the repacker extra in the
fonttools package, which is probably feasible
The json extra can be packaged, at least in Rawhide, now that
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-ufoLib2/pull-request/3 is
merged – thanks!
Finally, python-glyphsLib needs to be updated to version 6.x first.
It’s pretty far behind right now. I opened a PR,
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-glyphsLib/pull-request/1,
to get to version 5.3.2 and generally bring it into the modern era,
then another,
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-glyphsLib/pull-request/2,
to update to the latest version. That will require a new dependency,
openstep-plist, which I submitted for review in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2330988.
Once all of that happens, I can submit fontmake for review.

Thanks, Ben!

I added you as an admin in python-glyphsLib.
