Hi,
I build these a month ago:
freetype-freeworld-2.4.4-4.fc15
freetype-freeworld-2.4.2-6.fc14
Why are they still in testing? (Note that these are security updates.)
Shouldn't updates get pushed to stable by default after 2 weeks? In any
case, please push these to stable ASAP.

Don't they need to be pushed with the fedora counterpart?
last time I've checked the fedora package was still in testing.

No, that's not really necessary. The security fixes are obviously fully
binary compatible in both directions, so they can get pushed at any moment.

And the Fedora package got pushed to stable on F15, which is what reminded
my of this. I see the F14 package is still in testing (argh! Security
updates getting stuck in testing for weeks really sucks!), I karma'd it up,
which made it reach the autokarma threshold.

What's the diff between freetype and freetype-freeworld? When freetype-
freeworld was first created, that was cause of patent on the byte-code-
interpreter, IIRC. My understanding is that the patent is expired and the
feature is enabled in freetype now.

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/547532. BCI's only enabled in F15 and
beyond, so F14 still needs a -freeworld package. I'm not sure why
there's a freetype-freeworld for F15 and devel.

There's more than just BCI at issue, iirc, subpixel rendering per it's

This version is compiled with the patented subpixel rendering enabled.
