Hi Carsten,
thanks for maintaining KiCad. What you mentioned is true for Kicad <=
7.0. With 8.0 a change landed enabling installation of colorthemes
system-wide (see https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/15920).
I already created a package and installed it and it works as intended.
Since this does not touch user files this conforms to Debian policy.
The plugin manager does not show this scheme as installed since it only
looks for user themes.
nice, o.k., then upstream has still some work to do. :-)
Would it not better creating one src:package which would package the
various themes all together that are out there? e.g. named kicad-themes
I dislike a bit multiple packages that a user needs to know (and to
install then) if all could get packaged into one.
There could be of course also a virtual package kicad-themes which pulls
in the installation of all the real other theme packages.
Most of the other themes are not under heavy development and will only
change randomly.
Downside otoh is you will need to run a own scripting to detect changes.
Is also not that complicated.
But that's up to you if you can agree on my ideas.
