Description Pekka Vuorela 2015-07-20 17:05:27 UTC 
As of 2.11.9x release candidates, building fontconfig requires network connectivity in order to execute fc-blanks. That doesn't play along well with build servers, OBS in my case. Would suggest including the resulting header file in git / tar packages, and running the tool only when result should be different.

Introduced with commit d6a5cc665a1d7e91332944353e92c83ad114368c

it doesn't require the network connectivity to build it from tarball.

Ok, lot better already. However, on Mer/Nemo we have been moving towards having code as git submodule/subtree on the packaging repositories.
Comment 3 Behdad Esfahbod 2016-06-08 20:36:31 UTC 
I agree we should commit the built file to git, like we do fir fccase.
Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2016-06-09 03:49:56 UTC 
No built files in git so far, but the data requiring to build, right.
Comment 5 Behdad Esfahbod 2016-06-09 03:51:32 UTC 
Either way works for me.  Thanks.
