Bug 74561 – freetype use flag should be truetype

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

I was cleaning up my use-flags with ufed, and I found that there's a "local flag" freetype for x11-wm/metisse ... but a quick grep freetype inside the /usr/portage/profiles/use.* files give me that:

/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc:truetype - Adds support for FreeType and/or FreeType2 fonts
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:app-office/pointless:freetype - Enables Freetype font support
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:media-libs/gd:freetype-version-1 - if for some reason you want to use freetype v1 instead of v2
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:media-video/transcode:freetype - Enables Freetype font support
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:x11-base/kdrive:freetype - Enables Freetype font support
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:x11-libs/fox:freetype - Enable freetype support (allows for antialiased fonts)
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:x11-wm/metisse:freetype - Enable freetype font support

So we have 5 ebuilds with "local" flag freetype to enable freetype support, and a global truetype flag.
I think this should be changed having only the truetype flag. If this is the case, I can submit the patches for all the ebuilds involved, should I?

HTH,
Diego

I found other problems on transcode ebuild so I posted a bug cleaning it a little bit. I think this so this bug can depend on that at least.

yes, filing bugs for all those packs should be fine, mark them as blockers vs this one (like you already did).

Ok now all the packages using the freetype flag should be fixed by the blocking bugs :)

Still missing kdrive and metisse cleanup, we have only those two now.

Considering that pointless doesn't need it anymore...
