Can someone explain why the "stable" freetype is from June 2005, when there are * 5 open bugs that would be fixed by stabilising a more recent version * Only one bug is referenced on the stabilisation tracker (#166028), and it turns out that bug is closed as far as most arches are concerned. Alpha, mips, x86fbsd are still waiting, does that have to hold the rest of us?
Yep.
I think we're ready to start considering stabling something from the 2.3.x series. Due to the large differences in rendering some ppl see jumping from 2.1 we can probably expect to receive a lot of the same backlash as when 2.3 was unmasked into ~arch (ie. you broke my fonts, aghhahghahgagah! etc.). We would need to do something >=2.3.3 for security reasons. Foser, do you know of any issues that need to be resolved before we can do this?
archs please test and stabilize media-libs/freetype-2.3.3. note that there were a few small API changes between that version and the current stable, which caused compile failures in some packages. all those reported have been fixed. still, you might want to make sure everything using freetype will still build for you. there are also now some demo utilities installed along with the library that might be useful for testing. the jump from 2.1.x to 2.3.x might cause a significant change in font rendering. the most common reason for this is old configs lurking around so you may want to back up ~/.font* and /etc/font*, delete, and re-merge fontconfig and freetype. http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Font-HOWTO/index.html and http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts can also be helpful. i'm looking for stable on all archs except x86-fbsd. alpha and mips, you have fontconfig to do first (bug #166029). ;)
