Description Akira TAGOH 2013-10-22 02:23:03 UTC 
Description of problem:
Running fc-cache with /usr/share/fonts takes too much time and may breaks the cache for parents when installing multiple font packages or upgrading fontconfig, especially sometimes happens on the installation say.
As the macro in fontpackages does, please follow it up and use fc-cache /usr/share/fonts/<your font directory> instead of /usr/share/fonts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
urw-fonts-2.4-15.fc19.noarch

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.rpm -q --scripts urw-fonts-2.4-15.fc19.noarch
2.
3.

Actual results:
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
{
   umask 133
   mkfontscale /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 || :
   mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 || :
   fc-cache /usr/share/fonts
} &> /dev/null || :
postuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
{
   if [ "$1" = "0" ]; then
      fc-cache /usr/share/fonts
   fi
} &> /dev/null || :

Expected results:
the directory should be /usr/share/fonts/<your font directory> instead

Hi,

Bumping this for attention as the fix seems trivial.

Spot: I've added you as a cc: as someone who has previously committed to this package and participated in bug #921706, but apologies if you have no interest.

This is currently resulting in unreliable builds of Barcode Writer in Pure PostScript on Fedora:

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:terryburton:postscriptbarcode/libpostscriptbarcode

(Note that the official Fedora package currently works around this problem by disabling a feature.)


All the best.
