Hi
I would like to adopt and maintain the 'libXft/libXft2/libXft-devel'
packages from Harold Hunt and replace them with the latest version which
is not dependent on the modular X11R7. This is 2.1.7. In this release,
there will be a change from the /usr/X11R6 hierarchy to /usr.
This package likes to install the header files to
/usr/include/X11/Xft/*.h
xorg-x11-devel installs a symlink
/usr/include/X11 -> ../X11R6/include/X11
Given that the X11 hierarchy is deprecated, I like to remove this
symlink in a preremove script.
-------------------- preremove ------------------
#!/bin/bash
if [ -L /usr/include/X11 ] ; then
rm -f /usr/include/X11
fi
-------------------- preremove ------------------
Also to make libtool happy (as mentioned by Yaakov) in a postinstall
script all .la files will be changed to accomodate the new library and header
locations .
------------------- postinstall -----------------
#!/bin/bash
# Make libtool happy
for d in /usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib
do
echo ">>> Processing directory $d"
for f in `find ${d} -name '*.la'`
do
if grep "/usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.la" ${f} > /dev/nul
then
echo "Processing file $f"
chmod 644 ${f}
sed -i -e 's#/usr/X11R6/lib/libXft\.la#/usr/lib/libXft\.la#g' ${f}
fi
done
done
