archives

Agreed.

Shipping an ancient, broken version is worse than not shipping it at
all.

Sad part is, that packaging work is mostly done, there is a debian
folder in git that is used for PPA builds, it may need minor cleanup but
it's not like starting from scratch.

Title:
  "Querying installed files" process on start-up takes abnormally long
  (~20minutes)

Status in font-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When starting font-manager it queries the installed font files. Until
  16.04 this process has been fairly fast. Since 16.04 it takes up to 20
  minutes, and looks like the app died: loading bar gets stuck and
  switching the window back from the background shows an empty window.

  2 ways to reproduce:

  a)
  - launch font-manager
  expected result: font-manager loads quickly and is ready for operation
  result: font-manager faints a crash but is in fact alright after 20 minutes querying the installed font files

  b)
  - once launched, install new fonts
  - press "reload now" when prompted
  expected result: font-manager loads quickly and is ready for operation
  result: font-manager faints a crash but is in fact alright after 20 minutes querying the installed font files
