Since media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera is becoming deprecated (see bug #282754), I am reviewing packages still depending on it for trying to make them depend on virtual/ttf-fonts or media-fonts/dejavu The problem with www-misc/xxv is that I think it really requires media-fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera and, then, if you are able to confirm that, could you ask upstream to think about moving to media-fonts/dejavu? Thanks a lot Reproducible: Always
Are you sure the dep cannot be replaced by virtual/ttf-fonts? Looks like the path I can read in ebuild is not bitstream exclusive
(In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #1) > Are you sure the dep cannot be replaced by virtual/ttf-fonts? Looks like the > path I can read in ebuild is not bitstream exclusive shure, the finaly seded line is /usr/share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera anyway, iam changed this to -e "s:\$RealBin/../share/fonts/ttf-bitstream-vera:/usr/share/fonts/corefonts:" \ it should be possible to use here in the sed line dejavu also, DEPEND=virtual/ttf-fonts is not possible, bcs. we need an exact defined font, the sources don't using fontcache :( xxv works, but has very low maintainance on upstream
