[aur-requests] [PRQ#5230] Deletion Request for gtk-theme-iris-dark-git
soundtoxin [1] filed a deletion request for gtk-theme-iris-dark-git [2]: This needs to be updated. There's a lot of visual breakage that makes it hard to use pavucontrol and firefox. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/soundtoxin/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/gtk-theme-iris-dark-git/

The PKGBUILD itself is up-to-date and there are no changes necessary for the package to build properly. The problem described by soundtoxin occur due to the theme lacking GTK+ 3.20 support. There was not much time for a developer to update the theme and I am optimistic, that GTK+ 3.20 support will be added at some point in the future. @TU Apparently the user soundtoxin filed this deletion request by accident, see the package's comments section.

I'm curious, how much time is reasonable here? These changes have been known for about 6 months now. https://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2015/11/20/a-gtk-update/

I would actually not expect many GTK+ theme designers to read any gnome developer blogs. Despite being informed about the changes, I guess most of them realized the difference as they got GNOME 3.20 on their machine. When referring to 'not much time' I was talking about the time since the GNOME 3.20 release about a month ago. Furthermore since only one guy developed the theme and maintains it [1], I think it would be rushed to remove the theme right now. [1] https://github.com/xyl0n/iris/graphs/contributors
