Bug 461280 – x11-themes/clearlooks-phenix-3: version bump request

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Klaus Kusche 2013-03-10 15:47:14 UTC]

x11-themes/clearlooks-phenix has not been updated to gtk 3.6 yet:
Version 2 is gtk 3.4 only.

Please provide version 3 for gtk 3.6.
It has been available upstream for months
and looks stable, well-maintained and bug-free to me.

clearlooks-phenix is important, it is the only gtk3 theme in Gentoo
which satisfies basic usability requirements.

use the live ebuild, there is no static tarball

[Comment 2 Klaus Kusche 2013-03-10 19:17:02 UTC]

1.) Wrong. http://gnome-look.org has a static zip file.
And if not, you should package it. Gentoo will provide space for it 8-)

2.) Using live ebuilds works for me at home,
but not at our university: git (and svn, and hg, ...) is blocked at the firewall
(twice: Once between my linux lab and the rest of the university,
and once between the universitie's network and the internet).
There is no way to use git:// files in controlled environments.

3.) I would use the live ebuild if it were keyworded, but it isn't.
Packages which are stable and for general use should 
not require manual keywording or unmasking.

In case of gtk themes, the keywording should be synced to gtk's keywording
(i.e. if gtk 3.x goes ~, the theme versions for it should go ~,
and if gtk 3.x goes stable, the theme versions for it should go stable)
to get the correct version with emerge upgrade world
(emerge upgrade world is the only thing done in our labs).

4.) Using the 9999 ebuild will result in a mess
when x11-themes/clearlooks-phenix starts to adapt to gtk 3.7/3.8
and I / our labs stay with 3.6 until 3.8 is stable 
and all apps are ready for 3.8.

wrong


gnome-look.org redirects to
http://jpfleury.indefero.net/p/clearlooks-phenix/source/download/master/

which is not a static archive.

[Comment 4 Klaus Kusche 2013-09-15 13:51:28 UTC]

Clearlooks-phenix now provides static, version-numbered download files:

Please provide version-numbered ebuilds.

Thanks!

make an ebuild proposal

I lost track of the fun stuff that upstream does with their version scheme.

> make an ebuild proposal

I never did ebuilds.

http://www.jpfleury.net/debian-watch/clearlooks-phenix_3.0.16.tar.gz

looks latest and useful to me?
