Tiny Core Extensions > TCE Bugs

Hack-font.tcz's tce.installed file is called Hack-fonts

(1/2) > >>

GNUser:
As in the subject. The script should be called Hack-font, not Hack-fonts. It's a merely cosmetic issue that causes tce-status -i to output an inaccurate count of the number of loaded extensions (one more than the true number).

andyj:
I noticed that too. I was beginning to think I was the only one who used it. It's on my todo list to fix.

GNUser:
While on the topic, the script adds 16 seconds to my boot time and causes some boot-time errors ("fonts failed to write cache").

Eliminating the script seems to have no ill side effects--boot-time errors go away, boots faster, font still works fine in the terminal

Rich:
Hi GNUser
What does the script do? Is it a variation of the  fontconfig fc-cache  issue that cropped up here:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,23333.msg146167.html#msg146167

GNUser:
Hi, Rich. It does this:

--- Code: ---#!/bin/sh
fc-cache -r
--- End code ---
It wreaks havoc during boot (delay and several errors/warnings). My workaround is to just delete the script from the extension. There are no bad side effects as far as I can tell.

fontconfig.tcz  is a dependency of  Hack-font.tcz  and is therefore also being loaded at boot time. Since tce.installed scripts are run as a batch after all extensions have loaded, by the time tce.installed/fontconfig runs, it "sees" Hack-font and includes it in the font cache.

I guess the only time Hack-font's tce.installed script would be needed is when the extension is loaded after boot.
