Hi,
In the recent snapshots for i386, amd64 and may be other
arches
xbase42.tg now includes a copy of /var/cache/fontconfig, the
font cache
managed by fontconfig.
The goal of this change is to avoid the (quite long) rebuild
of the font
cache when the fonts themselve are updated (by installing
xfont42.tgz),
which is noticeable in xdm's startup time, not that xdm
uses
fontconfig/Xft fonts.
If someone encounters problems with this, or still sees long
font-cache
rebuilds after upgrading to a snapshot, please report it to
me.
