From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040504 Description of problem: I am not sure wether I should file this against bitstream-vera-fonts or xorg-x11-truetype-fonts but all of the Vera TTF fonts from bitstream-vera-fonts are duplicated in xorg-x11-truetype-fonts package which looks like a waste of space to me. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bitstream-vera-fonts-1.10-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -ql bitstream-vera-fonts 2. rpm -ql xorg-x11-truetype-fonts 3. diff /usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/Vera.ttf Actual Results: the fonts are identical
SHould be removed from of the X packaging, in my opinion. Trying to merge the separate package back into the X11 package doesn't make sense to me.
This problem was fixed yesterday internally and should be fixed externally within a few days or so. The real problem, is that the xorg-x11 build used the following glob for including truetype fonts that get generated during build: %{_x11fontdir}/TTF/*.ttf That all inclusive glob means that no .ttf files would get left behind, however it also means that we're never made aware of new ttf fonts getting added to the X.Org source tree, since we just always include whatever is built. I noticed the Vera TTF fonts via visual inspection while creating the new fonts-xorg noarch fonts package, and fixed this problem in both the fonts-xorg and xorg-x11 packaging, so that we no longer include the Vera fonts there, since they're provided by the bitstream-vera-fonts package. fonts-xorg-6.7.99.903-3 and xorg-x11-6.7.99.903-3 packages should resolve this once they're in rawhide. Thanks for the report. Setting status to "RAWHIDE".
