Feature changed by: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) Feature #313536, revision 12 Title: Get rid of SuSEconfig.fonts openSUSE Distribution: Implementation Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Mandatory Requested by: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There is no point to run that code after installation of every package (and it's not run when you use zypper or 3rd party tools anyways). That code should be only run as a part of post-install of the fonts packages as only those are affected. Relations: - Remove SuSEconfig (feature/id: 100011) Discussion: #1: Petr Gajdos (pgajdos) (2012-07-03 17:13:23) Added "fontpackage" package to the M17N:fonts. fontpackage is intended to common runtime deps of every font package (e. g. /usr/share/fonts/truetype) and fontpackage-devel for buildtime dependency of every font package. fontpackage-devel contains only one file for now, which installs on /etc/rpm/macros.fonts-config. For details see osc cat M17N:fonts fontpackage rpm-macros.fonts-config Example of modified font package is M17N:fonts/xano-mincho-fonts. Could you please express your opinion on this plan? #2: Petr Gajdos (pgajdos) (2012-07-04 09:39:25) (reply to #1) After rethinking I've choosen fontpackages-runtime and fontpackages- devel. + #3: Thorsten Kukuk (kukuk) (2012-07-06 14:37:38) + I'm not a fonts expert, but looks good to me, beside one thing I don't + really like: fontpackages-runtime contains only one directory. I think + we should drop that package and package the directory inside of the + RPMs which contains fonts. This has the big advantage, that RPM will + take care of the directory itself, if the last package using it is + removed. Or the directory should be added to filesystem directory, + which includes already the parent directory. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313536

Ubuntu is already using it and others distro will probably follow this idea.

[New: openFATE 313571] SuSEconfig fonts should not cycle uselessly over CJK
by fate_noreply＠suse.de 01 Jul '12

Feature added by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Feature #313571, revision 1 Title: SuSEconfig fonts should not cycle uselessly over CJK openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Felix Miata (mrmazda) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: By default, every time any package that is fonts or fonts-related is installed or updated, SuSEconfig fonts runs, and each such time, even when neither Java nor any configuration to indicate any fonts but western might ever be relevant, the following is spit onto the screen zypper is running on, and into its log: # ... xorg-x11-fonts-core-7.6-18.2.noarch.rpm installed ok # Additional rpm output: # warning: /usr/share/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir saved as /usr/share/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir.rpmsave # Starting SuSEconfig, the SuSE Configuration Tool... # Running module fonts only # Reading /etc/sysconfig and updating the system... # Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.fonts... # Creating fonts.{scale,dir} files ......... # /etc/fonts/suse-font-dirs.conf unchanged # /etc/fonts/suse-hinting.conf unchanged # /etc/fonts/suse-bitmaps.conf unchanged # Creating cache files for fontconfig ............................. # generating java font setup # Warning: cannot find a sans serif Japanese font.

Japanese in Java might not work. # Warning: cannot find a sans serif simplified Chinese font. Simplified Chinese in Java might not work. # Warning: cannot find a serif simplified Chinese font. Simplified Chinese in Java might not work. # Warning: cannot find a sans serif traditional Chinese font.

Korean in Java might not work. # Warning: cannot find a serif Korean font. Korean in Java might not work. # Finished. If Java is not installed, all that info is a useless waste of cycles and disk space, so SuSEconfig should skip not only the log info, but should skip even looking for CJK fonts, thus making it easier to find useful info in the log, and leaving useful info on the terminal longer. Even if Java is installed, CJK search should be skipped anyway if nowhere on the system is any indication that CJK fonts might ever be useful, such as those with only Latin fonts installed and RC_LANG in /etc/sysconfig/language is set to something neither C nor J nor K. If Java needs CJK fonts to function even on western only systems, then it should be up to it to decide if whatever it requires WRT fonts needs an update and trigger it one such time, not for each time any fonts or fonts-related package is installed or updated in an up or dup run of zypper. If SuSEconfig and Java can't be made smart enough to do as described above, then at the least a new option(s) in /etc/sysconfig/suseconfig should permit choosing when and/or how often it runs its fonts module instead of having to disable SuSEconfig entirely. Or, /etc/sysconfig/fonts-config on western systems could be defaulted to no for: GENERATE_JAVA_FONT_SETUP, and/or GENERATE_OOO_FONT_SETUP. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313571
