http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1059030 Bug ID: 1059030 Summary: [fonts-config & fontconfig] outdated scripts, cache failure, deprecated settings, bad sysconfig parsing Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: All OS: SUSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: leetminiwheat@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- (raw paste here if formatting is unreadable: http://susepaste.org/view/raw/38713353 ) Package(s): fonts-config (20160921-1.2) Affected versions: All SubPackage(s): fontconfig (20160921-1.2), fontconfig-32bit (2.12.4-1.1) Affected versions: All Brief description(s): •Cache generation failure -Deprecated name of fc-cache64 is used. •Incorrect sysconfig parsing -Unsetting most options results in invalid 10-rendering-options.conf file •Deprecated usage of "assign" rather than "append" -"append" should be global default, override with "assign" on per-family basis. •Missing option to set default "append"s in sysconfig/fonts-config Detailed description(s): 1. /usr/sbin/fonts-config: Multiple issues: cache generation, config parsing, deprecated usages, missing options. 1a.) script fails to find `/usr/bin/fc-cache64` which was renamed to simply `fc-cache` -(attempts to run both `/usr/bin/fc-cache32` and `/usr/bin/fc-cache64`) 1b.) Script incorrectly parses sysconfig/fonts-config if most options are null,commented, resulting in invalid entries of "0' or "False" in 10-rendering-options.conf 1c.) Script uses "assign" and not "append" with no way to unset the "assign"ments 1d.) No option to set a default "append" (see 2a below). 2. /etc/sysconfig/fonts-config: Multiple issues: deprecated usages, missing options, options incorrectly parsed. 2a.) No option to "append" rather than "assign". -Append is preferred upstream and should only "assign" if FORCE_* is set (which means we need a DEFAULT_* for "append") 2b.) Default usage of "assign" could cause later font appends/assigns to fail. 2c.) Null or commented entries cause unexpected behavior and invalid options. -"0" or "False" are invalid options in 10-rendering-options.conf and cause fontconfig to fail to parse. Problems/Bugs: •Failed cache generation due to `fc-cache64` being renamed. •Invalid entries in 10-rendering-options.conf if most sysconfig options are Null or commented. •Early "assign"ments in /etc/fonts could override or cause incorrect or unexpected fontconfig behavior on files parsed afterwards. Proposed solutions: /usr/sbin/fonts-config: •Add statement to check for `fc-cache` if `fc-cache64` not found, or create symlink of fc-cache to fc-cache64 •Don't generate invalid entries in 10-rendering-options.conf when some sysconfig options are commented. Or change "none" to make no entry unless forced. /etc/sysconfig/fonts-config: •Add new DEFAULT_* options (such as DEFAULT_HINTSTYLE) to set "append", Existing FORCE_* can optionally set "assign" (to override append). •Default to "append" rather than "assign", FORCE_* can still override the append if present after the "append". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
