Right. though this syntax looks primitive. it might manages to be done if one writes everything for what they want. but if we can have easier way - which can be done with minimal effort and inheritance for others from host - that may be better. > Do we need to process the 'salt' elements and 'remap-dir' elements in > order and remap old salt elements as remap-dir elements get loaded?

Hm, to deal with more complicated cases, I guess we may need to have one global salt to affect everything and a path-specific salt for remapped path. for flatpak case, they want to have a global salt to change a salt in sandbox (for /usr/share/fonts in sandbox etc) and set salt from host in 'remap-dir' to build cache filenames on host (for /run/host/fonts and so on). This would avoid collision between one and origins. and assuming that flatpaks can load config from host too, we could have: 10-salt.conf (from host): <salt id="default"/> 50-flatpak.conf (sandbox specific): <remap-dir as-path="/usr/share/fonts">/run/host/fonts</remap-dir> <salt id="randomdata"/> <dir>/usr/share/fonts</dir> First salt element affects to 'remap-dir' and second one overrides it for paths and change a salt in sandbox. To make things easier, we may also want to export all of dir elements from fonts.conf to the separate file. flatpak can replace it with 50-flatpak.conf in this case. or the file operation isn't desirable, let's implement dir-reset element or something like that. > > Perhaps some command that the flatpak could run to generate host salt > values so that it could remap them into new salt elements using the > mapped paths? > > Alternatively, we could just assume that only flatpak will use the salt > mechanism and leave this for a future enhancement? > > -- > -keith -- Akira TAGOH _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
