Bug ID: 181476
Summary: [GTK][JHBuild] Tools/gtk/install-dependencies: Package
libxfont does not exist anymore in Arch Linux
Product: WebKit
Version: Other
Hardware: Unspecified
OS: Unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: Tools / Tests
Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
Reporter: aperez at igalia.com

The script tries to install “libxfont”, which does not exist anymore:
nowadays “libxfont2” is used instead and no other package in the Arch
Linux repositories depends on “libxfont”, and therefore it has been
removed.
The old version of “xorg-server” that is built inside the JHBuild _does_
use “libxfont” still, but as this library itself is not build in the
JHBuild, it's not possible to compile the old version of “xorg-server”
in Arch Linux.
IMHO, we should either include a “libxfont” module in the JHBuild (easier,
probably less risky) or update “xorg-server” to a newer release. What is
the preferred way to go about this? In any case, I can prepare the needed
patch :-)
