Summary: cjkunifont install packages in inexistent directory https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=466667 Summary: cjkunifont install packages in inexistent directory Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: cjkunifonts AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [email protected] Classification: Fedora cjkunifont 0_2_20080216_1-4_fc10 has been changed to install files in /etc/fonts/conf.avail, deviating from our official packaging guidelines http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/FontsSpecTemplate As a result it may now install files in an unowned directory, with all the associated problems, since /etc/fonts/conf.avail is not referenced in our guidelines and not provided by filesystem like /etc/fonts/conf.d Moreover /etc/fonts/conf.avail is hosting file templates which are not modifiable, and should be moved to /usr/share to respect the FHS. Any packager that will follow this unfortunate example will now make rpmlint complain. So upholding this pattern would require modifying rpmlint too. This is all a big mess. All those problems would have been identified had the deviation from guidelines been properly discussed on the fonts list beforehand. Please do not deviate from guidelines in the future without public discussion. Since I'm a nice guy, I've posted a guidelines change request here http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_spec_template_correction_(fontconfig) Please participate in this guideline change discussion now and abide *strictly* by FPC's ultimate decision. -- 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
