Category "Fonts" is empty in Raktár (aka HaikuDepot) - despite I installed some dozens with pkgman

[KitsunePrefecture]

Ahoy,

Long time I see that category "Fonts" is empty in Raktár (aka HaikuDepot) - despite I installed some dozens with pkgman.

I could not decide this is a bug or should open this ticket as an enhancement - I feel so both.

I mean

--> the category itself present in HaikuDepot, and I like that we could picks fonts from its own category, so I do not have to propose this feature itself -- that is for enhancement.

--> however as the category is empty, it may be caused some setting in packages or in HaikuDepot missing, tht causing this fine category is empty -- so this is the bug part.

I will open finally as enhancement, but fill free to change it anyways that better fit to this case.

Would you be so kind to check the situation and solve that Fonts (in Haiku repositories) enlisted under this fitting category ?

Kind regards,

[KitsunePrefecture]

Hello; There are no packages listed under the category "Fonts" on Haiku Depot Server. TO confirm this, log into HDS; main menu --> Reports --> "Package category coverage report". Download the report and observe there are no packages marked under "Fonts".

Can you please discuss this in the forums or the Haiku Depot Server mailing list as I think this is a data issue rather than a software issue. If you are OK with that can you please close this ticket.

@apl-haiku, we haven't yet moved the fonts packages frmo "Graphics" to "Fonts". I've attached a category CVS you can import to fix that.

Category Fonts CSV

[apl-haiku]

Hi @humdinger; Thanks for that upload file, but you will need to get the sys-admin team to load that in now-days. They can do that from the main menu --> "Root Operations" --> "Import package categories" in HDS. I would suggest it would be prudent taking a backup first and checking afterwards that the categories are OK since this function has not been used for a long time.

Anyone from the admin team reading this?
@kallisti5 or @waddlesplash maybe...

I can't import the file; it gives a "badsize" error.

I cut down the CSV to just the rows that have an entry in the "fonts" column, will that work correctly?

[humdinger]

I don't know, but I expect so. I also expect that you'll get an error message if HDS doesn't like importing such a stripped CSV.

While I did the odd other category change besides the graphics->font, the latter is the important part.

[apl-haiku]

Appologies, it looks like there is a bug with it. I have fixed the problem and requested an [HDS deployment](​https://github.com/haiku/infrastructure/issues/133) to get it released then you can run it again. I've tested the loading of the file locally.

[waddlesplash]

Can I load the stripped-down file even before then, or will it cause problems to only have a subset of packages in the file?

[apl-haiku]

Unfortunately the problem is in the HDS JavaScript in the UI so it does not matter how large the file is; the problem will still manifest itself. :-( If Neils is available, the deploy of HDS should not take too long to roll out.

On another note; I wonder if it might be an idea to trim this file down to the packages that @KitsunePrefecture would like to modify because otherwise this file contains all packages and so any changes to packages' categories that have happened since the file was created will be lost.

[waddlesplash]

The new file didn't seem to have the same error. Trimming the file down is what I already did, so if that's fine, I'll do that.

[apl-haiku]

The logic change was;

- model.$setValidity('badsize',undefined === file || (file.size > 24 && file.size < IMPORT_SIZE_LIMIT));
+ model.$setValidity('badsize',undefined === file || !(file.size > 24 && file.size < IMPORT_SIZE_LIMIT));

(note the negation)

It seems strange that it would accept any meaningfully sized file; even a trimmed one. However if it works then that should be fine as it is really only an interface to the Java logic running on the back-end.

Import succeded.

[KitsunePrefecture]

Thanks for all of you to worked in this hiatus.

Now it is more easily to install fonts - using GUI with Raktár (Haikudepot) - for whom who would like to use such installation method.

Kind regards,

I checked Font category well it is not empty now, but not every fonts lested. With pkgman more packages found and could be installed.

Not sure why so many fonts didn't have a category set (i.e. not the old "Graphics" category used for fonts), but I've "manually" set the font category now.
