Summary: cjkunifont install packages in inexistent directory
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: medium
Component: cjkunifonts
AssignedTo: cchance(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot(a)laposte.net

Classification: Fedora
cjkunifont 0_2_20080216_1-4_fc10 has been changed to install files in
/etc/fonts/conf.avail, deviating from our official packaging guidelines
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/FontsSpecTemplate
As a result it may now install files in an unowned directory, with all the
associated problems, since /etc/fonts/conf.avail is not referenced in our
guidelines and not provided by filesystem like /etc/fonts/conf.d
Moreover /etc/fonts/conf.avail is hosting file templates which are not
modifiable, and should be moved to /usr/share to respect the FHS. Any packager
that will follow this unfortunate example will now make rpmlint complain. So
upholding this pattern would require modifying rpmlint too.
This is all a big mess.
All those problems would have been identified had the deviation from guidelines
been properly discussed on the fonts list beforehand. Please do not deviate
from guidelines in the future without public discussion.
Since I'm a nice guy, I've posted a guidelines change request here
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Fonts_spec_template_correct...
Please participate in this guideline change discussion now and abide *strictly*
by FPC's ultimate decision.
