For the record, I did not package this myself. It is just a build of the package that was rejected from Debian since some of the sounds are licensed CC. The packaging branch can be found here: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/freedesktop-sound-theme.git > > There is a bug which talks about it in more detail. > > https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+bug/281044 > > Can something be done about it during this cycle? As I mentioned in the linked forum thread I would be happy to package some sound themes for Jaunty if any one can point to some good sound themes that are appropriately licensed. I looked around gnome-look, and couldn't find anything that seemed appropriate. Most sound themes on gnome-look seem to actually be KDE themes or just random sounds, not following the theme spec. The most popular theme that follows the spec is specifically licensed to prevent derivative works, which rules it out. Especially since the new volume control applet makes the sound themes much more visible, it would be nice to populate the archive with at least a few. Also, does packaging already exist for the theme that was briefly tested in the Intrepid cycle? While it was ruled out as a default, is there any reason to not provide it in the archive? - - Andrew Starr-Bochicchio Ubuntu Universe Contributor https://edge.launchpad.net/~andrewsomething http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=a.starr.b%40gmail.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAklmRwYACgkQL4k+fGKG+21I7QCfaFz900qEf0+WGJ/VbMyCbHG0 yGgAn25nXNtLSjkgFIHoEcSk5ojLk7UQ =N9nn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
