Fix FreeType pkg-config module and brew formula names#9
Merged
Conversation
CFreeType declared pkgConfig: "freetype", but the pkg-config module FreeType ships is "freetype2" -- SwiftPM's probe fails, no library search path is emitted, and consumers fail to link FT_* symbols unless another dependency happens to add the same -L path. The brew provider hint had the names reversed: the formula is "freetype".
- actions/checkout v2 -> v4 and drop slashmo/install-swift (its internal actions/cache@v2 is hard-failed by GitHub now); use the runner's Xcode toolchain on macOS and the swift container on Linux. - ubuntu-20.04 runners were retired (jobs queue forever); move to ubuntu-latest with the swift:latest container.

FontTests expects Liberation Serif on Linux (the swift container ships no fonts). The macOS test bundle needs brew's lib dir on LIBRARY_PATH to link FT_* symbols until PureSwift/Cairo#9 fixes CFreeType's pkg-config module name upstream.

PureSwift/Cairo#9 (freetype2 pkg-config) and PureSwift/Silica#16 (import Darwin) are merged, so the patch script, its CI steps, and the Xcode project's local package overrides are no longer needed. Dependency pins updated to the fixed masters.

CFreeTypedeclarespkgConfig: "freetype", but the pkg-config module FreeType ships isfreetype2(pkg-config --libs freetype2→-L/opt/homebrew/opt/freetype/lib -lfreetype). SwiftPM's probe therefore fails with the "you may be able to install freetype" warning and emits no library search path, so consumers fail to linkFT_*symbols unless another dependency happens to add the same-Lpath.The brew provider hint had the names reversed as well: the Homebrew formula is
freetype(there is nofreetype2formula).Verified:
swift buildlinks clean on macOS with only this package's own pkg-config flags, and the same fix unblocks Linux (apt'slibfreetype-devalso shipsfreetype2.pc).
