Build libxcursor with:
--with-cursorpath=\\${datadir}/icons:/usr/share/pixmaps:~/.icons:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons
Normally you want ~/.icons to be searched first, and this is the default in
libxcursor. I'm going to go with
~/.icons:\$${datadir}/icons:/usr/share/pixmaps:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons
You mean
~/.icons:\$${datadir}/icons:\$${datadir}/pixmaps:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons
? :)
Heh, I was keeping my modifications to the default minimal, and the default
does in fact hard-code /usr/share/pixmaps.

Bug#362766: xcursor-themes: cursor themes do not work using current libxcursor1
As the maintainer of CrystalCursors, I have a strongly related problem with update-alternatives support in Xorg7.

Bug#362766: xcursor-themes: cursor themes do not work using current libxcursor1
Hi Bastian, As the maintainer of CrystalCursors, I have a strongly related problem with update-alternatives support in Xorg7. I'd like to know: will the fix of this bug provide the /usr/share/icons/default - dir/symlink? The fixed xcursor-themes package will provide a /usr/share/icons/default directory. However, your package should also provide this directory as I stated in bug #363059, rather than depending on it to be present on the system: multiple packages are allowed to own directories, and it's only *by* declaring this ownership that dpkg is able to clean up those directories when a user removes both your package and xcursor-themes (e.g., because they're uninstalling X). Is it save to assume that this directory *exists* on a Xorg7-Installation? No; you should ship the directory yourself. It *would* be possible to have a versioned dep on xcursor-themes instead, but that would be wrong when the only thing you need from that package is a directory. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Bug#362766: xcursor-themes: cursor themes do not work using current libxcursor1
For me it is quite unclear wether the fix will be making the /usr/share/icons/default dir the thing that is handled thru the alternatives - or as it is with the X11R6-generation; handled thru the index file in the default dir. I sure hope for the last. /Sune pgp24uwmXjxGY.pgp Description: PGP signature

The cursors was working with /etc/alternatives If it will no work in that way anymore maybe an advisory or an entry on the changelog must be made. I have another question: Why the cursors are in /usr/share/icons/ ? This is the right location to place it ? Doesn't make more sense /usr/share/cursors/ ?

libxcursor. I'm going to go with
~/.icons:\$${datadir}/icons:/usr/share/pixmaps:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons

On the other side, how do we ensure that cursor themes aren't upgraded
before the libraries that need to access them? I think having cursors
conflict with or depend on a shared library (libxcursor1) to accomplish this
would be a bad idea.
We do have libxcursor1 in stable Depends: libx11-6 | xlibs, libx11-6
Depends: xfree86-common, and x11-common (unstable) Conflicts:
xfree86-common; but this is only sufficient to force an upgrade of libx11-6,
not of libxcursor1.
So it looks like the only options are: conflict with old libxcursor1, depend
on new libxcursor1, or ignore the problem. All of those options suck.
Anyone have a better one?
Unless I'm missing something, old libxcursor1 also searches in
/usr/share/icons, no?

All the alternatives management from xlibs-data.postinst needs to come over, but the alternative at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/icons/default/index.theme needs to get removed, and then replaced by /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme. But the bug was two-fold, in that the new libxcursor wasn't looking in the *old* location either. So both things (new libxcursor search path being broadened, xcursor-themes postinst needs to be reinstated) need to happen. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
