fontconfig: msg#00434

os.openbsd.ports

Subject: fontconfig

First, I realize that we are close to release, so I'm not considering
any changes soon. This may not even be the best place to ask this
question, but here goes ...

I made a port for gimp-2.0pre3, because I want to use it. Anyway, it
needs fontconfig 2.2.0. Our X has fontconfig 2.1.0.

I made a port for fontconfig 2.2.0, but I don't think it's really a
good idea to have 2 versions of a package installed. Not to mention,
they both want their configs in /etc/fonts.

So, I think I'm going to work fontconfig 2.2.0 into my X sources.

My questiona are:

Has anyone else tried merging fc 2.2.0 into their X tree yet?
Does anyone know if fc 2.2.0 will break X programs and/or major
ports like gtk+?
If I'm successful with the merge, and there's no or easily fixed
X/ports breakage, how likely would it be that fc in our
X tree would be updated (the fc 2.2.0 files do not have
the new XFree86 license)?

Again, I know there are better things to do now, so please don't spend
your precious time muling over my silliness.
