freetype2, freetype2-dev, freetype2-shlibs freetype2-hinting, freetype2-hinting-dev, freetype2-hinting-shlibs freetype219 freetype219-shlibs
The freetype2 packages are simple updates from 2.1.3 to 2.1.4. They are still used with
BuildDepends: freetype2-dev
Depends: freetype2-shlibs
and made known to configure scripts by pointing them to the %p/lib/freetype2/bin/freetype-config script.
The freetype2 package is a dummy package meant for facilitating the upgrade from earlier versions of freetype2.
The *-hinting versions are almost identical (even using the same patch script), with the Apple-patented hinting mechanism enabled.
For the freetype219 packages, I reduced the number of splitoffs: no more dummy. They are used with
BuildDepends: freetype219
Depends: freetype219-shlibs
and made known to configure scripts by pointing them to the %p/lib/freetype219/bin/freetype-config script.
To further simplify things, I have not (yet?) committed the freetype219-hinting packages, because I seem to have read that the hinting stuff is not really useful any more in newer versions of freetype and even somewhat buggy. If anyone has more precise informations on this point and thinks we should also have the freetype219-hinting packages, this is fine with me, but if we could dump them permanently, it would simplify things.
There is a difference for the shlibs between freetype2 and freetype219:
The former have an install_name (as before) of /sw/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib and the latter of /sw/lib/freetype219/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib. In this way they cannot conflict. You can install the freetype2 and the freetype219 packages at the same time.
Cunningly, I have not changed the Maintainers, so they will get the initial complaints, hopefully not too many :-)
