#53350 closed defect (fixed)

fontconfig: support mpgk/mdmg packaging

Reported by: ctreleaven (Craig Treleaven) Owned by: ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: Cc: mkae (Marko Käning)
Port: fontconfig

Description

Patch adds a postinstall script, etc, that mimics the existing post-activate step (which initializes or updates the font cache).

fontconfig is used by a variety of packages including libass, libbluray, qt5-qtbase, qt5-qtwebkit among others. Thus this script will propogate to any installer incorporating any of these packages.

Tested by creating and installing an mpkg of fontconfig. Installer log attached showing successful completion.

Ok, except:

  • use xinstall instead of file copy and thus avoid the need to separately call file attributes
  • use 4 spaces per indent
  • why change the long description?

Will do on the first two points.

The long_description shows on the first installer splash screen. I've found it useful to confirm the prefix that the payload is going to be installed into. One of the most common questions I get about my installers is: "where did everything go?".

I'll update the patch shortly. Do you want to a) apply the patch, b) deal with a pull request or c) let me commit (er, push) the change? ;)
