#77 Liberation fonts separating 1 and 2.
Closed: Fixed Opened by pravins.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

Presently as you know, we have liberation-2 and liberation 1.07.4. i am maintaining both in single git repo. [1]

I am thinking to create different project for liberation2, reasons as follows
  • liberation 2 - It initially forked from google-croscore-fonts and now independent development is happening.
  • liberation 1 - Though shapes are same, liberation 1 has bytecode hinting instruction, many users like it.
  • Problem: Few users want to use liberation 1 and few users want to use liberation 2.
  • Having different project for both will help for independant development and also users can switch as per interest.

  • One can obsolete to other.

    In Fedora we will have both packages liberation2-fonts and liberation-fonts

    Let me know - feedback and suggestions. Copr for liberation2 [2]

We had little discussion in the meeting. Everyone was positive for splitting from long term perspective it is good.

https://pagure.io/liberation-classic-fonts is available now and Liberation 2 is in current git repo.
https://pagure.io/liberation-fonts

This is done now. Next task for this workdone is to package these separate projects as rpms in Fedora.

Metadata Update from @pnemade:
- Issue assigned to pravins
- Issue close_status updated to: Fixed
- Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)

Could an upstream release be made or does that require more work?

Tasks:
1. Font name changing required in all .sfd file in https://pagure.io/liberation-classic-fonts. After that we can release it.
2. Good to do new release for https://pagure.io/liberation-fonts as well, since few bug fixes are in git but not available in Fedora.

This issue has been migrated to Fedora Forge:
https://forge.fedoraproject.org/i18n/i18n/issues/77

Please continue any further discussion there.
