Package: plymouth Severity: normal Version: 26.134.222-1 User: [email protected] UserTag: debian-edu Control: block -1 by #1148027 X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Tags: patch
Dear maintainers of Plymouth,find attached a .debdiff that lets Plymouth in Debian switch to the virtual 'debian-theme' Plymouth theme managed by the `update-alternatives --config desktop-theme` command.
The advantage of this change is that Plymouth will not need to be updated anymore with every Debian release cycle regarding its default theme. This will all be handled by desktop-base once the attached patch gets applied.
Also, a desktop-theme change via update-alternatives will automatically show an effect in the Plymouth theming.
For those who want to detach the chosen plymouth theme from the rest of the desktop-theme, they can always manually configure their favourite Plymouth theme via plymouth-set-default-theme.
To return to desktop-theme controlled Plymouth theming, users (with this .debdiff applied) can execute `plymouth-set-default-theme -r -R`.
Unfortunately, to make the 'debian-theme' Plymouth theme fully functional, #1148027 (src:desktop-base) needs to be resolved first.
