--- Comment #14 from Akira TAGOH <tagoh(a)redhat.com> ---
(In reply to Matthew Miller from comment #11)
Rather than moving the cache around -- or, I guess, in addition to
it, but
obviating an concern about FHS or dyanamic, unmanaged files in /usr, could
we just pregenerate the cache files at _build_ time rather than install
time? They appear to be arch specifc (well, word size and order specific)
but not really host-specific.
At this moment, unfortunately the updates at the install time are required to
update the directory caches. there are two types of the caches in fontconfig.
one is to contain a font meta data to reduce the costs to iterate a font, which
could be generated at the build time (for Fedora at least. generally speaking,
maybe not, because the unit of the cache are per-directories not per-files).
one is to contain a directory meta data to reduce the costs to iterate files in
a directory and detect the updates, which is likely to be changed at the
install time.
