Hello friends,
I got a mail from the venerable Will Set with new sources basically patching KDE4 to... well, I guess he explained it better: Hi Amir, > I see I missed the deadline for open additions to ciel, > so I hope you can use my changes as a possible bug fix? > > My changes basically add kde4 directories and meta data so that the newly > added > direcories > Ciel and Ciel-discreet located in the kde4-wallpaper can be copied to the > /usr/share/wallpapers > directory... > > ~# cp -a /home/user/download/ciel/kde4-wallpaper/Ciel /usr/share/wallpapers > ~# cp -a /home/user/download/ciel-discreet/kde4-wallpaper/Ciel-discreet > /usr/share/wallpapers > > also see changelog > > Will > So, is this a case where he missed the deadline or is this even acceptable post-freeze? Should we keep this for a future branch for Sid or would that be acceptable in case the theme got chosen? Here are the sources: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11675431/ciel-SOURCE-2.3.tar.gz Thank you for your advice and tnx to Will! Cheerio! 2010/10/24 Amir Dizdarević <[email protected]> > YAAAAAAY!
