This minor maintenance release is built with the latest X.Org autotools macros
and provides the usual recent collection of build configuration improvements
and janitorial cleanups.
pkgsrc note: upstream is migrating the default font directory from
${PREFIX}/lib/X11/fonts to ${PREFIX}/share/X11/fonts. This would break
stuff in pkgsrc, so pass --with-fontrootdir to keep the old dir for now.
Changes:
Migrate to xorg macros 1.3 & font-util 1.1 macros
Add pointers to mailing lists, bugzilla, & git to README
Janitor: Correct make distcheck and configure.ac simplification
Add missing PHONY line for automatic ChangeLog generation
Replace generic copyright statement.
Remove the ansi-1251 encoding, it's called microsoft-cp1251.
Simplify some encodings to avoid stating the obvious.
Limit UNDEFINE line to en encoding's declared SIZE (bug 1248).
This is not needed with libfontenc (used by the X server and mkfontscale),
which will ignore out-of-range entries, but apparently caused ttmkfdir to
crash. Thanks to Donnie Berkholtz.
The package provides the X.org font encoding files, such as
adobe-dingbats.enc.gz, ibm-cp866.enc, jisx0212.1990-0.enc.gz,
and others. This is from the modular X.org project.
