The bug is still here in the shipping SRPMs of Fedora Core 2. The build process actually requires bdftopcf, provided by "xorg-x11-font-utils". I guess a virtual provides in that package for "bdftopcf" is better than hardcoding "/usr/X11R6/bin/bdftopcf" here. I just went with BuildRequires: xorg-x11-font-utils, kept it simple, if thaat package gets rename in a year or two, this package can be updated again. xorg-x11-font-utils has had the following virtual provide for quite some time, to avoid future package dependancy problems when things move around: Provides: font-utils I strongly recommend changing to using BuildRequires: font-utils as this virtual provide will be kept for the future. I'll leave that up to you though. |
The bitmap-fonts package contains hard coded dependancies on XFree86 packages, which need to be fixed before xorg-x11 can be enabled in the development tree. The following is found twice in the spec file, and I believe it should just be removed. BuildRequires: XFree86 I'm not sure what that dependancy was there for, however if something is used during build time, it should be added as an X11 implementation independant buildrequires, either by doing: BuildRequires: /path/to/some/file/needed/during/build or if necessary I can make a virtual provides in X11 packaging to handle the situation.
