--- Comment #1 from Ankur Sinha sanjay.ankur@gmail.com 2009-10-01 02:43:45 EDT --- hi,
As always, I'm not too sure of the fontconfig. The prio seems okay? I'm not sure if its a sans-serif or a fantasy, since I can't decide if this font can be used for long professional texts. It's the Devanagari script, so could be used.
regards,
Ankur

Well, I don't read Devanagari at all, and the font has no OS/2 metadata, please ask upstream or the i18n for clarification (and as last resort use fantasy as that's the safest choice)

--- Comment #3 from Nicolas Mailhot nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net 2009-10-01 18:21:57 EDT --- Anyway, thanks a lot for adding a new font package in the review pipe
Appart from the CSS classification I can't really help you with, here is some review:
1. non LGC font ⇒ please use a priority ≥ 65 as per fontconfig-priorities.txt
2. please ask the lohit people what they think about this font. IMHO it is highly likely one of the lohit fonts shares a common ancestry with gargi (and in that case they should at least cross-alias each other)
3. Licensing should be GPLv2+
4. (non blocking) please ask upstream to add the standard FSF GPL font exception to their licensing
5. (non blocking) description could use some meat
Anyway, this package is mostly fine, except for the classification problem.
NEEDINFO till this is resolved

- please ask the lohit people what they think about this font. IMHO it is
highly likely one of the lohit fonts shares a common ancestry with gargi (and in that case they should at least cross-alias each other)
while comparing lohit devanagari script fonts (marathi, hindi, konkani, nepali, sindhi and kashmiri)
There are little bit differences in lohit and Gargi i.e Gargi fonts shape are little more Bold compare to lohit, space of gargi is more than lohit there are also little bit differences in characters shape
but overall as said above yes, they share common style(Sans) and ancestry.
between how corss-alias will work?

Ok, that means that they probably were not forked from a common root after all, so no need to cross-alias
but overall as said above yes, they share common style(Sans) and ancestry.
between how corss-alias will work?
cross-alias is when package B tells fontconfig : if app asks for font A, and it is not present, use my font B instead (and the reverse in package A). We do it for DejaVuLGC/DejaVu for example. But this kind of aliasing is only worth it when fonts are very close in style or metrics, typically when two projects took the same origin font and froked it in different ways

Appart from the CSS classification I can't really help you with, here is some review:
- non LGC font ⇒ please use a priority ≥ 65 as per fontconfig-priorities.txt
I'll check up the prio for the lohit font and fix this..
- Licensing should be GPLv2+
Fixed. Will upload a new build in a day max.
- (non blocking) please ask upstream to add the standard FSF GPL font
exception to their licensing
Contacted upstream, no response yet :(
- (non blocking) description could use some meat
I copied whatever I got from the font homepage. There's no readme etc to get more from.
Anyway, this package is mostly fine, except for the classification problem.

Okay, ill fix up the fontconfig. I cant do much about some of the other bits (stated above)

Sorry for the delay, got stuck in bed wid flu :(
Fixed up whatever I could,
- fontconfig - given prio as 69 (lowest?, hope that isnt tooo low) - fixed license to gplv2+, no response from upstream about it yet, - no idea what to write in there to juice up the description, sorry.

I hope you've recovered completely and are well now
There is absolutely no problem with a review sleeping some time, what's not ok is making someone work on a review then vanishing, but as long as you come back in a reasonable delay everything is fine.
This version is good. If you hear from upstream make them write a better description.
⚺⚺⚺ APPROVED ⚺⚺⚺
You can continue from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Font_package_lifecycle#3.a
I hope the process was pleasant, and that it will inspire you to package other fonts for Fedora. Please do not hesitate to suggest improvements to our organisation on the fonts mailing list.
Thank you for your contribution to our font package pool.

Continuing from here.

Yup, it was pleasant and I'm going to continue packaging fonts :) . You're taking good care of the fonts-sig, I really have no improvements to point out yet. :)
