Hi all,
As you may know, xfs and chkfontpath is going away for Fedora 8.
Third party font packages, if any, will need to drop their configuration
symlink in /etc/X11/fontpath.d rather than run chkfontpath.
What I've done for the packages I've updates (the xorg-x11 font
packages) is to install the symlink in %install and just list it in the
%files section.
%define fontdir %{_datadir}/fonts/default/ghostscript
%define catalogue /etc/X11/fontpath.d
...
%install
...
# Install catalogue symlink
mkdir -p $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{catalogue}
ln -sf %{fontdir} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT%{catalogue}/ghostscript
The symlink should be not absolute but relative, shouldn't be?
Which will do you exactly no good, because the only path component they
have in common, is / .
Seriously. What does a relative symlink win you here?
As I said "from packaging issue", current Fedora's packaging policy is:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ rpmlint -I symlink-should-be-relative
symlink-should-be-relative :
Absolute symlinks are problematic eg. when working with chroot environments.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
And we already have the example in which the common path is only /
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ ls -al /usr/lib/libz.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2007-05-31 14:53 /usr/lib/libz.so -> ../../lib/libz.so.1.2.3
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
