1 Hi,

3 I posted this to the bugzilla, but was redirected here, so:

5 INTRO:
6 I have just a small proposal. There are many theme packages in portage,
7 but many good are still missing, the problem I actually noticed when
8 creating my own ebuild for comix cursors, is that there is really a mess
9 in theme packages. They are both in media-gfx and x11-themes, they are
10 named without any convention.

12 PROPOSAL:
13 1) create a new directory in portage root eye-candy [or similar]
14 2) move all theme packages in there
15 3) follow the naming convention: [application]-[type]-[name] (for gentoo
16 cursors this would be x11-cursors-gentoo, or for kdm theme tux mania it
17 would be kdm-theme-tuxmania)
18 4) keep original packages as meta packages with notice, that users
19 should upgrade
