[Tango-artists] Icon naming theme and installers

[Richard Hughes]

I'm developing PackageKit, and I'm trying to make it work well with
other package managers in the system. I'm having real problems with
icons.

At the moment I've got:

#define GPK_ICON_SOFTWARE_UPDATE		"system-software-update"
#define GPK_ICON_SOFTWARE_SOURCES		"x-system-software-sources"
#define GPK_ICON_SOFTWARE_INSTALLER		"system-software-install"
#define GPK_ICON_SOFTWARE_UPDATE_PREFS		"x-system-software-update-preferences"
#define GPK_ICON_SOFTWARE_UPDATE_AVAILABLE	"software-update-available"

Just for the installer, it appears we have a few names:

Tango: system-installer
gnome: system-software-install (old name?: system-software-installer)
Bluecurve: icon-install-software

I've attached a patch to fix this in the legacy mapping, but the issue
of the other icons is still valid. The other icons I'm sure need
standardising is:

* system-software-sources
* system-software-update-preferences

I'm also not sure why system-installer isn't present in
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-naming-spec/icon-naming-spec-latest.html -- and I'm not sure where the latest cvs of icon-naming-spec is located.

On further investigation it appears that lots of the "Standard
Application Icons" are missing from the spec. If this is due to lack of
time, I can russle up some patches to remedy that if you wish.

The page at http://tango-project.org/Tango_Icon_Library#Download also
redirects to a domain parking website -- probably not what is wanted.

Anyway, please tell me what I need to do. At the moment I'm thinking of
just copying the icons and shipping them in the gnome-packagekit
tarball, but that is probably the wrong thing to do now we have the icon
naming spec.

Richard.
