Hi guys,
fontconfig 2.4 has been released recently, and I just updated
opt/fontconfig accordingly.
I didn't commit the changes yet, though, because I don't run opt/x11 and
thus I cannot test whether it will work for xorg 6.8.
Can someone please test the attached diff with opt/x11? Thanks.
I don't expect breakage, but better safe than sorry.
(This situation sucks a bit. If anyone thinks this sucks too much, let
me know and I'll see to install X11R6 here as well.)
Point 2:
fontconfig's configuration scheme has been extended. Instead of putting
all kinds of settings into local.conf, fontconfig how ships with a set
of configuration files (/etc/fonts/conf.avail) that can be symlinked to
/etc/fonts/conf.d to enable them. This means that only more exotic
settings will have to be made via local.conf, for the usual suspects,
you can just symlink the file.
This somewhat collides with pkgutils' upgrade feature though. Imagine
that after installation, you removed some of these symlinks to adjust
fontconfig to your needs. Then, a few months later, you upgrade
fontconfig to the latest version, and it will install the symlinks again
:x
Is this acceptable?
Regards,
Tilman
