* Include depends_on for gperf
Sometime around 2.12.2 fontconfig acquired a build-time
dependency on `gperf` (this commit, I think:
59fd9960bbb58fd6257adb13ec0f918882149332).
This adds the dependency.
`gperf` is called in the `src/Makefile`, see line 907 of
`src/Makefile.in`.
* Only depend_on gperf if @2.12.2:
The gperf dependency *seems* to only be required when @2.12.2:.
Earlier releases do not check the arg type of the gperf lookup
function (which requires gperf) and are able to use pre-generated
files so gperf is not required at build time.
* Make X11 font install dir the font search default
We install the X11 fonts into `/share/fonts` beneath the font-util
installation prefix, but that directory is not one of the places that
the font subsystem searches.
This commit makes the fontconfig package depend on the font-util
package, and then it makes
```python
spec['font-util'].prefix + "/share/fonts"
```
be the fontconfig default font location.
Before this change, plots drawn by R have bounding boxes where font
glyphs should be. After this change fonts appear as expected.
* Enrich description string (trigger new CI run)
Improve the docstring for the package.
Also interested in the side effect of triggering another CI run
to see if the recent flake8 fix lets this PR run clean.
* Flake8 cleanups
Package repositories now look like this:
top-level-dir/
repo.yaml
packages/
libelf/
package.py
mpich/
package.py
...
This leaves room at the top level for additional metadata, source,
per-repo configs, indexes, etc., and it makes it easy to see that
something is a spack repo (just look for repo.yaml and packages).
