[aur-general] Dropping tango-icon-theme{,-extras}
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

* Remove the "tango-icon-theme" dependency from xfce4-settings (this shouldn't break anything, does it?) +1 Maybe you should put gnome-icon-theme{,extras} as optdepends.
* Move both tango-icon-theme and tango-icon-theme-extras to [unsupported]. +1

gnome-icon-theme is listed as a dependency and is the new default. xfce4-settings no longer depends on tango-icon-theme.

I already moved tango-icon-theme-extras [1]. Moving tango-icon-theme is the only task left. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54251
