Hi all, As Lucid is a Long Term Support release, I feel that this is a good time to clean up some of the artwork releated packages in the archive. A number of packages haven't been updated at all since Hardy, esentially un-maintained. Some look and feel quite out-dated, and if we are going to carry them for the life of the LTS, they're only going to feel more so going forward.
A list of packages maintained by Ubuntu Artwork Team can be found here: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-art/+related-projects Bazzar branches for team maintained packages can be found here: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-art-pkg == GDM Themes == As a first step, I plan on removing old GDM themes from Lucid. Unless there are any serious objections, I will be filing removal requests for: ubuntu-gdm-themes, feisty-gdm-themes, edgy-gdm-themes, and gdm-themes. I will also upload versions of blubuntu-look, peace-look, and tropic-look removing their GDM themes. We'll probably also remove arc-colors from Lucid as well, moving the wallpapers to the shiki-colors package. == Theme Packages == blubuntu-look peace-look tropic-look industrialtango-theme outdoors-theme silicon-theme resilience-theme gray-theme As I mentioned above, most of these packages haven't been updated in a few releases. In fact, it seems as if blubuntu-look isn't even currently installable. I'd like to drive some discussion on these themes. Which themes could just use a bit of an up-date? Which themes should just we remove? One thought I had was perhaps we should just new find themes that have the same feel but an updated look, providing an upgrade path. It might be simpler than actually updating the old themes. Any contenders? Any other ideas? Comments?
