Description viy 2011-08-06 19:36:38 MSK

fedora use %{_datadir}/%{name}/conf.d as the dir where fonts could place 
language-specific fontmaps.
please add  %{_datadir}/%{name}/conf.d to the ghostscript fontpath
for both flexibility and compatibility.

see ghostscript-9.02-4.fc16.src.rpm for details.

Nowadays %_datadir/ghostscript/conf.d doesn't exist at all. In Fedora the whole /usr/share/ghostscript is packaged into filesystem package for unknown (for me) reason. I would like to know filesystem maintainer's opinion on this issue.

Do we need to move /usr/share/ghostscript to filesystem and create /usr/share/filesystem/conf.d there? Otherwise I can add /usr/share/filesystem/conf.d to ghostscript-common.

No, I don't see any use to move /usr/share/ghostscript to filesystem package.

Even Phil Knirsch admits the ugliness of this suggestion.

+1 
filesystem pkg is totally unrelated.
