Summary: unfortunate symlink /etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf -> /usr/share/fontconfig/... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=565895 Summary: unfortunate symlink /etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf -> /usr/share/fontconfig/... Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: dejavu-fonts AssignedTo: nicolas.mail...@laposte.net ReportedBy: jrei...@bitwagon.com QAContact: extras...@fedoraproject.org CC: nicolas.mail...@laposte.net, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora Description of problem: A symbolic link with an absolute (rooted) target: /etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf -> /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/57-dejavu-sans.conf creates some problems for the Fedora installer (anaconda). Because the target of the symlink is rooted instead of relative, then the link is difficult to virtualize when creating the install.img filesystem that the installer uses, and it is problematic whether the symlink actually will work during install. It would be easier to have a relative symlink such as /etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf -> ../../../usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/57-dejavu-sans.conf An example of an existing relative symlink is /etc/fonts/conf.d/20-fix-globaladvance.conf -> ../conf.avail/20-fix-globaladvance.conf A similar problem occurs for: 20-unhint-small-dejavu-sans.conf 20-unhint-small-dejavu-sans-mono.conf 25-ttf-arphic-uming-render.conf 35-ttf-arphic-uming-aliases.conf 41-ttf-arphic-uming.conf 57-dejavu-sans-mono.conf 64-ttf-arphic-uming.conf 65-un-core-dotumbold.conf 65-un-core-dotum.conf 66-lohit-assamese.conf 66-lohit-bengali.conf 66-lohit-devanagari.conf 66-lohit-gujarati.conf 66-lohit-kannada.conf 66-lohit-oriya.conf 66-lohit-punjabi.conf 66-lohit-tamil.conf 66-lohit-telugu.conf 66-smc-meera.conf 66-vlgothic-gothic.conf 90-smc-fonts.conf 90-ttf-arphic-uming-embolden.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dejavu-sans-fonts-2.30-2.fc12.noarch How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. ls -l /etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf 2. 3. Actual results: /etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf -> /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/57-dejavu-sans.conf Expected results: /etc/fonts/conf.d/57-dejavu-sans.conf -> ../../../usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/57-dejavu-sans.conf Additional info: -- 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. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts-bugs
