Hi,

I think this package should be renamed just "freetype".

According to the arch convention, a freetype2 would indicate that a freetype package exists for the major version n+1, eg python2 for 2.7 branch, and python for python 3.4.

Just rename and add provides=('freetype2')

xan.
This task depends upon

FreeType2 isn't just "FreeType release version number 2.0". It's more a rewrite with a different feature set.

In such cases we keep such version number in an exception.
