We just don't know +what their license is; unless we find it suddenly. + + * if it's a sound, trash it; we'll see later; + * if a photograph, trash it; + * if a background, replace it with a background of similar resolution +(TODO, list all needed backgrounds so we build them from a generic +SVG) + * if an icon, replace it (see below); + * if a theme decorative thing, notify here and packager and we see +what can be done (thinking about firsttime for instance, there may be +others). + +Whatever you do, document it, using the CLEANUP_PROGRESS.txt file that +should be in each module (if it's not there, create it). There, please +note what: + - you removed; + - you replaced, and by what (especially if you take an Oxygen icon +and rename it). + +About the icons, use Oxygen icon set: + * you can find/download it from +<A HREF="http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdesupport/oxygen-icons/">http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/kdesupport/oxygen-icons/</A> + * it's under CC By SA 3.0 or GNU LGPL (<A HREF="http://www.oxygen-icons.org/?page_id=4">http://www.oxygen-icons.org/?page_id=4</A> ) + +To replace an icon: + * pick the icon to replace; + * find a matching/relevant one from Oxygen icon set, and rename it to +put it in place of the icon to be replaced; + * yes, that means duplication of files, but for the time being, we +can't afford updating all icons path in packages source code. Making +this square later, using a theme, will be done at a later time. + +Finally, to track progress, you may use this script +<A HREF="https://github.com/rdalverny/scripts">https://github.com/rdalverny/scripts</A> (updated so it fetches only from +Mageia svn and downloads only modules that are to be cleaned up +currently). It uses an anonymous read-only access to the svn. If you +have a commit access to this repository, you may alter the svn URI +first. If you don't, you may still work on it and push your changes +(diff + files) to the packager in charge. + +And, really finally now, if you want to help, say here what module you +take, so we know who does what, and please try to get in touch with +the packager in charge (look in the svn log to see who is). + +Most critical modules to clean are the huge ones: + * drakx (Olivier, still ok?) + * desktop-common-data + +Others are smaller, but important nonetheless. + +Thank you for your revision of these guidelines, for pointing out +something missing and for your help. We've got a few days to do that. + +Cheers, + +Romain +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000064.html">[Mageia-artwork] 2011/week 3 meeting +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000066.html">[Mageia-artwork] Task: icons/artwork replacement, process +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#65">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#65">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#65">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#65">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-artwork">More information about the Mageia-artwork +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
