In addition to the lack of XFree86-devel and xorg-x11-devel, /usr/X11R6/lib will disappear so packages that previously hardcoded this path will need to be fixed.
A package needs the truetype fonts luxi*.ttf. Because of the package name change from XFree86-truetype-fonts to fonts-xorg-truetype previously, I made the requirement be /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/luximbi.ttf etc. I also have a similar dependency on the xhost program, solved in the same way.
There won't be any way to have a requirement on these fonts for all three levels: XFree86, monolithic xorg, modular xorg, will there? (The XFree86 based system I need to support is RHEL3, so this is maybe "semi off topic".)
Hmm. This is an interesting problem. Any solution that I can think of to this, has both advantages and disadvantages, however I think the following solution has the least disadvantages, and is simple to implement.
I can add a new virtual provide to modular X, and monolithic X, which provides the luxi fonts. Of course the disadvantage of this, is that the virtual provide wont pre-exist in any currently released OS products, but it can be added in future erratum.
Provides: luxi-truetype-fonts Provides: luxi-Type1-fonts
Does this sound reasonable?
The other alternative, is to conditionalize the spec file with build_fc1 build_fc2 build_fc3 build_fc4 build_fc5 macros, but that's kindof sucktacular.
I'm open to suggestions.
