I agree that 170335 should be fixed, though. There's three issues with gtk-update-icon-path in that bug: 1) It would be great if we didn't have to call gtk-update-icon-cache in every rpm that provides icons 2) gtk-update-icon-cache is inefficient as it may get called multiple times when several packages that install icons are installed in the same transaction (and it really only needs to be run once). 3) gtk2 needs to run gtk-update-icon-cache (or the xdg equivalent) in its %post so all the packages which defer updating the cache until gtk2 is installed have the cache updated when that happens. > > Is there an RFE open to get xdg-utils into Core and make the necessary > > changes? > > IMO, it's a no-brainer, but likely not relavant, due to the proposed/likely > merge of Core/Extras for FC-7 (see > http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraSummit/OpeningCore) > It's still relevant since we're going to spin some sort of distro (rather than say, "hey kids, here's a bunch of packages!") What needs to happen is that gtk2 needs to Require: xdg-utils (and use it in its % post ;-) In FC-6 this would require xdg-utils to move to Core. In Fedora 7, hopefully the "move to Core" part will be superfluous. But xdg-utils will need to be part of whatever platform gtk2 belongs to. -Toshio
