mentioned in issue #3203 (closed)

I have no idea but CI timeouts only on aarch64.

hi. the fork is so you can modify the droid font stuff? maybe you don't need to fork fontconfig, but you can simply override the upstream config files using apk's replaces keyword. you can see examples in the UPower.conf files shipped by some devices (e.g. PP, N900)

Thanks for your suggestion. It sounds nice. What package should I add the replaces keyword?

Is this for a specific set of UIs (mate and lxqt?) ?

Fontconfig allows to add additional config files. Therefore forking is not needed.

You best close this MR and set up a new one. I'll describe in issue #3203 (closed) how to set up the config file. Thank you for working on a solution!

Is this for a specific set of UIs (mate and lxqt?) ?

Currently it looks like only MATE and LXQt are affected. Therefore I'd suggest to add the config file to packages postmarketos-ui-mate and postmarketos-ui-lxqt. In case it later turns out that other UIs are affeced as well, we might need to add it to postmarketos-base-ui but I don't see that need yet.

@jakko excellent, thanks for providing guidance, that's exactly why i was asking about UIs :D

By clayton craft on 2024-09-27T16:55:38

Thank you all, I will close this.

As I believe this patch itself benefits in general, I sent it upstream: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/merge_requests/330
