[suggest] terminus-font package.

[Javier Vasquez]

Hi,

I work with RH el5

% cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)

And I have installed rpmforge-release for x86_64:

rpmforge-release.x86_64 0.5.1-1.el5.rf installed

However something that I really miss is the terminus fonts which
sources can be found at:

http://www.is-vn.bg/hamster/terminus-font-4.30.tar.gz

And the web page is:

http://www.is-vn.bg/hamster

I work only with this font, :-) Now, what I do to get the fonts working:

$ ./configure [--prefix=PREFIX]
$ make
$ sudo make install fontdir

But then I need to do several tweaks to make the fonts recognized...
It'd be simpler if I just could install the fonts as from any other
package, without needing to tweak anything...

Would it be possible to create an rpm package providing these fonts?

Thanks,

[Yury V. Zaytsev]

Hi!

Can you please try to rebuild

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/terminus-fonts-4.30-1.fc13.src.rpm

and see if it works for you? If it does, I can commit it with
appropriate changes.

[Javier Vasquez]

Hi Yury,

I'm getting the following error:

% rpm -i terminus-fonts-4.30-1.fc13.src.rpm
warning: terminus-fonts-4.30-1.fc13.src.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256

And then nothing gets unpacked neither built...

Thanks,

Javier.

Either you need to unpack and install it manually or patch your rpm to
accept lzma-compressed and SHA256-hashed source RPM as I did to be able
to cross-build on EL5 for Rawhide.

Sorry, forgot to mention it in the original message.

OK, it seems I can't generate the packages:

% rpmbuild -ba terminus-fonts.spec
error: Failed build dependencies:
fontpackages-devel >= 1.18 is needed by terminus-fonts-4.30-1.noarch

Since I don't have fontpackages-devel installed, and it's not
available from any of the repositories I have (included rpmforge):

% sudo yum install fontpackages-devel

Looking at the .spec file:

Any other way to build the packages?

This brings us one step further. It appears that Fedora is now enforcing
a standardized way of creating font packages, so everything that has to
do with fonts depends on fontpackages-devel.

You can get it if you rebuild the corresponding source RPM:

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/fontpackages-1.42-1.fc13.src.rpm

I know this sounds like I'm trying to make you do all the work for me,
but I just don't have enough spare time to spend on this issue.

No worries, I'm also kind of doing this at times... Thanks for the help...

Now, I get the following error:

% rpmbuild -ba fontpackages.spec
error: Group field must be present in package: fontpackages-filesystem

And I just noticed the source is compressed any ways with xz, and I
don't have anything to handle xz:

% yum list | grep xz
%

So I couldn't uncompress the source and see if I could change any
permissions... BTW I tried tar jxf, but then it believes it's a bzip2
and didn't work, I tried zxf and of course it didn't work since it's
not gzip...

Let me know, what's next... At the end I just wanted to uncompress
the source to see if it was missing permissions or somethin in some
file, but I couldn't get even to see the sources...

Thanks,

I guess you just need to copy the Group from top to the filesystem
subpackage.

tar's not gonna do it. You need xz:

$ rpm2cpio xxxx.rpm | xz -d | cpio -id

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/source/SRPMS/xz-4.999.9-0.2.beta.20091007git.fc14.src.rpm

Check

http://tukaani.org/xz/

for the sources of xz compressed with gz :-)

You can also patch RPM, but I do not recommend this.

My priorities changed, so I haven't had a chance to do anything about
this, and I won't for a while. What's worse is that we'll be moving
from VMs where I have sudo access to install software to VMs where we
don't. So we won't be able to install software rpmforge anymore. I
can still install from source at my home area though, :-)

I still consider a good thing to have terminus-fonts (both console and
X ones) available, so perhaps if someone else is interested, the
attempt can be done, :-)

Thanks for the effort,

Either you need to unpack and install it manually or patch your rpm to

And then nothing gets unpacked neither built...

Either you need to unpack and install it manually or patch your rpm to
accept lzma-compressed and SHA256-hashed source RPM as I did to be able
to cross-build on EL5 for Rawhide.

OK, it seems I can't generate the packages:

% rpmbuild -ba terminus-fonts.spec
error: Failed build dependencies:
fontpackages-devel >= 1.18 is needed by terminus-fonts-4.30-1.noarch

Since I don't have fontpackages-devel installed, and it's not
available from any of the repositories I have (included rpmforge):

% sudo yum install fontpackages-devel
Password:
Excluding Packages from RedHat-5.3Server-noarch-errata
Finished
Excluding Packages from RedHat-5.3Server-x86_64-errata
Finished
Excluding Packages from RedHat-5.4Client-x86_64-errata
Finished
Setting up Install Process
No package fontpackages-devel available.
Nothing to do

% yum list | grep fontpackages
%

Looking at the .spec file:

BuildArch: noarch
BuildRequires: fontpackages-devel >= 1.18
Requires: fontpackages-filesystem

Any other way to build the packages?

Hi,

I work with RH el5

% cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)

And I have installed rpmforge-release for x86_64:

rpmforge-release.x86_64 0.5.1-1.el5.rf installed

However something that I really miss is the terminus fonts which
sources can be found at:

http://www.is-vn.bg/hamster/terminus-font-4.30.tar.gz

And the web page is:

http://www.is-vn.bg/hamster

I work only with this font, :-) Now, what I do to get the fonts working:

$ ./configure [--prefix=PREFIX]
$ make
$ sudo make install fontdir

But then I need to do several tweaks to make the fonts recognized...
It'd be simpler if I just could install the fonts as from any other
package, without needing to tweak anything...

Would it be possible to create an rpm package providing these fonts?

Thanks,

[Yury V. Zaytsev]
