Description Amitav 2010-03-04 06:28:43 UTC

The idea struck me when I found oxygen icon pack accounting for about 50% of my world update. I was doubtful that this might be redundant. My doubt was centred around the idea that icons wont change much between bugfix version revisions. Discussing on #oxygen and #gentoo-kde, I found that the icon pack contains redundant svgs.

We usually mirror upstream tarballs. Now, the reduction in package size can be achieved by repacking upstream tarballs. We can place a README.gentoo to point to kde's webspace for those interested in the svgs and leave the pngs unmodified.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=74184&forumpage=0&PHPSESSID=cae has oxygen icons download option without svgs for example.

Done for 4.5.1...

It won't be done for earlier versions, and 4.5.1 is going to hit tree soon

Comment 3 Amitav 2010-09-05 22:06:19 UTC

My objective is achieved once 4.5.1 hits stable tree for regular use. Please close the bug once that is done.

KDE 4.5.1 won't hit stable and I don't think that any 4.5 series will, but yes, we could keep the bug open until a stable release fixes it.

Done for 4.4.5 as well. There may be some fallout while the mirrors are not in sync.
