Paul Flo Williams <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |ASSIGNED --- Comment #1 from Paul Flo Williams <[email protected]> --- Here's my take on exactly what needs to be changed for this to happen, for review. It doesn't look that complicated, but I may have misunderstood something and I don't quite know how to finish this off. Relevant other bugs, from comment 1: Bug 757105 appears to be stuck on Fontconfig upstream, and doesn't impact most of our font packages, so I'll ignore it for now. Bug 521697 suggests changing fc-query to fc-scan at first, but ends with the recommendation of still using fc-query with a faked-up fontconfig path that just includes the fontconfig file of the font we're packaging, so that is relevant. So, we will be grabbing font.attr and fontconfig.prov from rpm.git and moving them to fontpackages. We will make some changes on the way. font.attr is as simple as this: %__font_provides %{_rpmconfigdir}/fontconfig.prov %__font_requires %{nil} %__font_magic [Ff]ont?( (program|collection))?( (text|data)) We don't currently generate font provides for any fonts outside /usr/share/fonts, so we could add these two lines as well: %__font_path ^%{_datadir}/fonts/ %__font_flags magic_and_path (Yeah, there shouldn't *be* any fonts outside here, but ...) From bug 521697, we now need to fake up a fontconfig "root file" that will point to the current font's fontconfig file, and pass this to the font provider script. I think this is achieved by some magic in our existing font macros which will take the name of the font-fontconfig file and write it into (say) /tmp/fake-fonts.conf and create a macro called %__font_provides_opts which contains this name. When fontconfig.prov is called, the name of our faked fontconfig file will be passed on the command line, and we use that to set up the FONTCONFIG_FILE environment variable. My sticking point is not knowing exactly when everything gets evaluated during building the font package, so I don't know which macro should magically create this temporary fontconfig root file (and, presumably, cleanly dispose of it). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts-bugs http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
