This is what we do for fontconfig caches too.  From DejaVu:


%post
if [ -x %{_bindir}/fc-cache ]; then
  %{_bindir}/fc-cache %{fontdir}
fi


%postun
if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then
  if [ -x %{_bindir}/fc-cache ]; then
    %{_bindir}/fc-cache %{fontdir}
  fi
fi


%post experimental
if [ -x %{_bindir}/fc-cache ]; then
  %{_bindir}/fc-cache %{fontdir}
fi


%postun experimental
if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then
  if [ -x %{_bindir}/fc-cache ]; then
    %{_bindir}/fc-cache %{fontdir}
  fi
fi


%post -n %{fontname}-lgc-fonts
if [ -x %{_bindir}/fc-cache ]; then
  %{_bindir}/fc-cache %{fontdir}
fi


%postun -n %{fontname}-lgc-fonts
if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then
  if [ -x %{_bindir}/fc-cache ]; then
    %{_bindir}/fc-cache %{fontdir}

Just go ahead and add similar bits for X core protocol fonts to the font
SIG spec template (after passing through Nicolas that is), but make it
clear that no new packages should add those bits.  Only fonts that used
to have them should now do it like this.


Thats possible, but then the mkfontdir packages needs a post to run mkfontdir on all dirs under /etc/X11/fontpath.d upon install, as it may be installed later then some fonts, and core fonts using apps / libs need to require mkfontdir. So IMHO just carrying pre generated fonts.dir and fonts.scale files in the affected font packages is much better, but according to some this _may_ have issues, but no one knows what issues it seems and I cannot think of any issues.


And all font packages should be cleans of ghost font-cache.1 files, yes.


That I fully agree on.

Hans
