Description Adam Jackson 2012-08-28 17:03:24 UTC
I can't think of any good reason to keep t1lib around given that we have freetype.  Font libraries are notoriously fragile sources of CVEs.

This is a tracker for removing t1lib dependencies from as many packages as possible.

Comment 1 Adam Jackson 2012-08-28 23:21:31 UTC
For reference, on F17:

$ repoquery --qf=%{sourcerpm} --whatrequires t1lib | sort -u
abiword-2.8.6-17.fc17.src.rpm
dvipng-1.14-3.fc17.src.rpm
evince-3.4.0-2.fc17.src.rpm
grace-5.1.22-9.fc16.src.rpm
gtkmathview-0.8.0-9.fc17.src.rpm
perl-Imager-0.92-1.fc17.src.rpm
php-5.4.5-1.fc17.src.rpm
t1lib-5.1.2-9.fc17.src.rpm
ttf2pt1-3.4.4-11.fc17.src.rpm
xdvik-22.84.14-10.fc17.src.rpm

abiword only requires it due to excessive linkage from gtkmathview's pkgconfig, the rest are quite real.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 16:32:02 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 3 Jaroslav Reznik 2013-09-16 08:39:01 UTC
Adding Tracking, FutureFeature keywords to avoid rawhide rebase.

Comment 6 Tomasz Kłoczko 2018-01-27 00:36:00 UTC
Current list of packages which are still using t1lib

# dnf repoquery --qf="%{sourcerpm}" --whatrequires 'libt1.so.5()(64bit)'
grace-5.1.25-9.fc27.src.rpm
gtkmathview-0.8.0-19.fc23.src.rpm
perl-Imager-1.006-1.fc28.src.rpm
t1lib-5.1.2-21.fc27.src.rpm

I'm not working on this and don't plan to start.
