Forwarding this to arch-general to get some developers' attention on this (I failed at entering the mail address the first time). ----- Forwarded message from Lukas Fleischer <archlinux@cryptocrack.de> ----- Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2011 10:17:47 +0100 From: Lukas Fleischer <archlinux@cryptocrack.de> To: arch-general@archlinux, aur-general@archlinux.org Subject: [aur-general] Dropping tango-icon-theme{,-extras} User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.21 (2010-09-15) Hi! All sources hosted at tango.freedesktop.org became inaccessible [1] a couple of days ago, probably due to some software upgrade on freedesktop.org. I contacted upstream yesterday and was told that tango-icon-theme, tango-icon-theme-extras and icon-naming-utils are dead and that we shouldn't rely on upstream sources being available (they even mentioned they probably won't care about the 404). It has been suggested to use gnome-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme-extras instead. Given that xfce4-settings seems to be the only package depending on tango-icon-theme, I'd suggest to: * Remove the "tango-icon-theme" dependency from xfce4-settings (this shouldn't break anything, does it?) * Move both tango-icon-theme and tango-icon-theme-extras to [unsupported]. * Think about what to do with icon-naming-utils. We seem to need those for gnome-icon-theme and gnome-icon-theme-symbolic, so putting the source tarball on our source mirror might be the best thing to do (unless there's a proper alternative, of course). Objections and other suggestions welcome. Cheers, Lukas [1] http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Library#Download ----- End forwarded message -----
