Hi all! Could you please explain me what is the right place where to put .scale files? On Mon, 17 Apr 2006, Eugene Konev wrote: > This part is broken now.

So I let the package depend on debhelper >= 5.0.31, but: /etc/X11/fonts/Type1/foo.scale or /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/Type1/foo.scale ? I would say that the former (the old location) would make more sense, since it does not really help to have the additional X11R7 in the /e/X/f/ hierachy.

There's a bug report open against xfonts-utils to use --x11r7-layout as default. I'm going to do just that in the next release, so hopefully this won't be necessary in the long-run. - David Nusinow -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Also, if your package uses alias files in /etc/X11/fonts/, it needs to move to /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7/, and will need debhelper 5.0.31. 5.0.31 also passes --x11r7-layout to update-fonts-* commands, which seems to be needed to get it to look in the new fonts locations. -- see shy jo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

So I ask you please _do not_ yet upload rebuilt packages if you use dh_installxfonts. Or you should handle your maintainer scripts by hand. The required (as from X11R6) changes are: * place your *.scale and *.alias files in /etc/X11/fonts/X11R7// instead of /etc/X11/fonts// * call update-fonts-dir (-scale, -alias) with --x11r7-layout (or -7) switch. Otherwise your fonts won't be handled properly by update-fonts-* tools. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you're using debhelper's dh_installxfonts to install fonts for you, rather than doing it by hand, you need to explicitly Build-Depends on debhelper (>= 5.0.29), in addition to fixing any references to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, or /usr/lib/X11/fonts, in your package.
