Bug 116730 – xcursor-themes doesn't create animation symlinks

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paul Bredbury 2005-12-25 13:08:15 UTC]

Hi, x11-themes/xcursor-themes-1.0.1 does not create the animation symlinks that are in x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.99.15-r4, meaning that the standard cursor is briefly shown instead of animation, e.g. for an hourglass.

E.g. in /usr/share/cursors/xorg-x11/redglass/cursors/ the following symlinks are missing:

08e8e1c95fe2fc01f976f1e063a24ccd -> left_ptr_watch
arrow -> right_ptr
cross_reverse -> cross
crosshair -> cross
draft_large -> right_ptr
draft_small -> right_ptr
plus -> cross
tcross -> cross
top_left_arrow -> left_ptr

I suppose this could be fixed with some "dosym" commands in the ebuild, if there isn't a better way.

It should get fixed in the Makefile.am somehow. Need to check how the Imakefile did it.

This is an upstream bug. Please file it at bugs.freedesktop.org in the xorg product, then post the URL here so we can track it.

Thanks!
