Description Parag Nemade 2009-12-14 09:07:16 UTC

Description of problem:
after upgrading fontconfig, I see new architecture definition is picked in cache dir but old cache with x86_64 arch and -2 version remains.

Shouldn't -2 cache be deleted? 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fontconfig-2.8.0-1.fc12.x86_64
fontconfig-2.8.0-1.fc12.i686


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1."ls -l /var/cache/fontconfig/"
2. See both versions cache files 
3.
  
Actual results:
Both cache versions -2 and -3 files exists.

Expected results:
should only -3 with new arch definition exists in /var/cache/fontcofig

We don't clear the older versions.  It's a legitimate scenario to use a home directory with multiple versions of fontconfig, see deleting the old caches would be problematic.

The issue of system caches only affects  F12 since we shipped with 2.7.x then updated to 2.8.0.  I checked the size of the caches and we are talking about 200k worth of stale caches.  Not a huge deal not deleting them IMO.

Ok, then remove/comment the (useless) scriptlet lines: 

# Remove stale caches
rm -f /var/cache/fontconfig/????????????????????????????????.cache-2
rm -f /var/cache/fontconfig/stamp

I did in devel.  That was leftover from rawhide a few releases back when the filenames were changed during a development cycle.
