The ebuild
Comment 2 Troy Dack 2003-11-11 06:05:19 UTC
OK, 
  This probably won't make you happy, but anyway. 
 
These ebuilds are not going to be committed to the portage tree: 
 
1. Theme type ebuilds don't tend to have that big of a user base. 
2. The work involved in testing the (often frequent) initial releases does
not 
warrant the number of users. 
3. They tend to go "stale" or unmaintained upstream fairly quickly after
the 
initial popularity wears off. 
 
I will be testing these ebuilds and putting them up on dev.gentoo.org/~tad
so 
that people can place them in their PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory. 
 
Thankyou for the effort that you have made in submitting these ebuilds it
is 
appreciated.

Just replying to your points here:

1. Theme type ebuilds don't tend to have that big of a user base. 

http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=7264
13393 downloads for the kool gorilla icon theme since Aug 1 2003

http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=6927
19237 downloads for the gorilla icon theme since June 7 2003

2. The work involved in testing the (often frequent) initial releases does
not warrant the number of users. 

The work involved is trivial and the number of users will not be as small
as you suggest.

3. They tend to go "stale" or unmaintained upstream fairly quickly after
the initial popularity wears off.

That is why they must be chosen carefully. For example the ones I submitted
so far are among the most popular and best rated eye-candy on www.kde-look.org.

Having said that I really think the gorilla theme should go in main gentoo
because it is a high quality icons set and very popular on www.kde-look.org.
Thus it will benefit gentoo's KDE userbase.

Ok, Ok, it's been committed to cvs (and it's already bumped a version too).
