Dear all
This really seems to be a mess.
Sorry, but no, I disagree: as I already said, the icons shouldn't be installed there in the first place and there's no reason for gnome-icon-theme to own this directory. If you really need it (and I think, again, it's wrong: icons should go to hicolor), just own that directory. (Note that you'll need to own it anyway if you want to build for old versions of openSUSE, since a fix would only go in Factory)
A quick search of the internet verified that there are a number of apps that use the 192x192 icons but are now failing to build packages on openSUSE / openbuild.
Which ones? We should fix the apps to install the icons in the right place.
Regardless which way you look at it - I cannot let my app own the directories /usr/share/icons/gnome/192x192 and /usr/share/icons/gnome/192x192/mimetypes
Why? More than one package can own a directory, it's perfectly fine.
Clearly everything under /usr/share/icons/gnome/*/*/* etc. belongs to gnome-icon-theme and this package should by default take ownership of this directory tree using a %ghost directive.
If everything under /usr/share/icons/gnome/*/*/* belongs to gnome-icon-theme, then clearly the app shouldn't install anything there ;-) Seriously, the icons should go in hicolor. That's the right thing to do, and you can easily fix that in the packages if upstream takes time to fix it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
