Subject: New script for X font installation, dh_installxfonts

Date: Tue, 5 Oct 1999 21:55:49 +0900

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: debhelper
Version: 2.0.58
Severity: wishlist

I made a new debhelper script, which reduces the complexity of X font
packages' postinst/postrm.  This script, dh_installxfonts, works by
the Branden's not-yet X font policy:

http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-x-9909/msg00006.html

It surely will help the maintainers of the X font packages.  Roughly
counted, about 30 packages in Debian are X font packages.

Hi,

This script seems to be _very_ helpful for packaging x fonts.
The current situation is all the x font packages need to write
somewhat longish postinst and postrm, but they are actually very
similar. The scripts also ensure that packages will do the right
thing as it's less error-prone.

Moreover, we want it to be in debhelper because we are going to
package 4 more fonts :)

I have added it to the most recent debhelper.

Description: 
 debhelper  - helper programs for debian/rules
Closes: 46684 47738
Changes: 
 debhelper (2.0.62) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Fixed problem with dh_installemacsen options not working, patch from
     Rafael Laboissiere <rafael@icp.inpg.fr>, Closes: #47738
   * Added new dh_installxfonts script by Changwoo Ryu
     <cwryu@dor17988.kaist.ac.kr>. Closes: #46684
     I made some changes, though:
     - I rewrote lots of this script to be more my style of perl.
     - I removed all the verbisity from the postinst script fragment, since
       that is a clear violation of policy.
     - I made the postinst fail if the mkfontdir, etc commands fail, because
       this really makes more sense. Consider idempotency.
     - I moved the test to see if the font dir is really a directory into the
       dh_ script and out of the snippet. If the maintainer plays tricks on
       us, mkfontdir will blow up satisfactorally anyway.
     - So, the snippet is 9 lines long now, down from 20-some.
     - I realize this isn't following the reccommendations made in Brandon's
       font policy. I'll fight it out with him. :-)
     - In postrm fragment, used rmdir -p to remove as many parent directories
       as I can.
