after discussing it off-list with ajacoutot@, can you remind/explain us why you remove the xsi-* prefix ? apparently arch, fedora & freebsd package xapp-symbolic-icons as-is, keeping the xsi prefix. my understanding is the python script creates symlinks in the user homedir or somewhere else ? meant to be run system-wide or per user ? as it is with your port, there'd be a conflict with mail/geary on 3 icons: x11/xapp-symbolic-icons/ $cat pkg/PLIST | grep -v '@tag' | while read f; do pkg_locate $f ; done geary-46.0p2:mail/geary:/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/actions/edit-symbolic.svg geary-46.0p2:mail/geary:/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/actions/tag-symbolic.svg geary-46.0p2:mail/geary:/usr/local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/actions/text-x-generic-symbolic.svg i understand the idea is to propose a fallback for apps not shipping their own symbolic icons, but what should be done for apps that do ship some ? pkg_locate symbolic.svg |grep share/icons/hicolor/scalable | cut -d : -f 1 |sort -u lists 29 ports. luckily only one conflicts, for some of the ports they ship their icons prefixed with the pkg name, so what should be done for geary ? @comment the icons in geary and make it RDEP on xapp-symbolic-icons ? @comment them in xsi ? rename ? > Both are minimal in size because the contents are all scalable .svg > > If you are OK to import them, it would help improve the default experience > for people who use the 'Gnome' applications outside Gnome. In any case, I Like, which gnome apps render without icons/broken outside gnome ? (i have to admit i dont use any) Landry
