[OE-core] [PATCH 4/4] harfbuzz: upgrade to v0.9.19

[Iorga, Cristian]

Hi Ross,

For evaluating the correct functionality of harfbuzz, I built and ran core-image-sato.
The text looked OK, I try to see if there are some issues in any of the included apps.
Did not find any, so I considered that the harfbuzz upgrade went OK.
Are there any other more complex tests to perform?

I will try to disseminate the information that you provided and come back with fixes.
Given the load that I am experiencing, I am not sure it will happen this week.
Regards,
Cristian

Hi Cristian,

I did a buildhistory-diff and noticed more than the expected churn.
See the upstream NEWS for some important changes:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/harfbuzz/tree/NEWS

"""
Moreover, ICU support is now build into a separate library:
libharfbuzz-icu.so, and a new harfbuzz-icu.pc is shipped for it.
Distros can enable ICU now without every application on earth getting linked to via libharfbuzz.so.

For distros I recommend that they make sure they are building --with-glib --with-freetype --with-cairo, --with-icu, and optionally --with-graphite2; And package harfbuzz and harfbuzz-icu separately.
"""

We should split out the ICU package, and re-evaluate disable_graphite.patch/submit upstream if it is a genuine problem with the build system.
