[PACKAGE] Varied-Evolvere icon theme

Hi,

I’m developing a fork of Varied and Evolvere (plus a bit of others) icon theme , called Varied Evolvere

hkkps://codeberg.org/thealio/classic-de/src/commit/f566b7b880fd2b2420193162d86a7d2a7ed9bc31/.icons/Varied-Evolvere

(I cannot post links yet , so I replaced https with hkkps ; sorry :sweat_smile: )

The theme is made to well support many distro , included Artix , Devuan , Mageia , Void , Openmandriva .

I’d like users interested to try it , if you would like to package it on openmandriva, I could make a blue folder version for Mageia and Openmandriva

Hi :waving_hand: thanks for letting us know.

I’m always on the hunt for new icon themes. I’ll check it out

@rugyada can help with that.

Since I can’t seem to access Codeberg right now, can you let us know what License your theme is using? It needs to be OSI approved. If you don’t have a GitHub account, we won’t make you sign up for one, but we will have to submit a request for you provided the licensing requirement is met.

:thinking: It’s a independed fork of this theme , I create new Icons and hard-forked / change lot of stuff

hkkps://www.opencode.net/tamascsabi/varied-icon-theme

hkkps://www.pling.com/p/2221913/

So, I assume it should follow its license (and compatible ones)

I’ll may add a LICENCE file

BTW: The orignal theme seems Creative Common

My dotfiles are MIT

hkkps://codeberg.org/thealio/classic-de/src/branch/main/LICENSE

They seems compatible licences

I was finally able to access this. It looks like a subdirectory of a repo. It needs to be in a repo on its own. Otherwise, we are bringing in other things that may not be used. It will also need to include a LICENSE file that contains the license you are applying to the assets. We package that file and make it available in the system. If it’s included in the source, then packaging it is simpler. It would be best if the packagers didn’t have to manually service your files into a package.

Hi,

I didn’t want to create a 2nd repo on my codeberg , so I create a github one:

hkkps://github.com/thealio/varied-evolvere-icon-theme

I didn’t want to mess up with my main git stuff .

Stupid github does not allow to drag-&-drop more than 100 files contained in a folder, so I was forced to make an archive folder.

Let me know if it could be ok even like this

Thank you for your interest in my work !

Unfortunately, that’s not going to work either. Now we would have to uncompress it twice. git is meant to be used in a different way than you are using it.

The purposes of git is to provide branching and version control. It does allow more rapid snapshotting of your work, but is more flexible than most snapshot utilities because the database used for it is small, fast, and portable.

Most sites like codeberg and github compress the sources into a file for you. This means, it would be best to just create a traditional repo for your files in their own folder. if you are not familiar with how the git workflow typically is done, then it might be best to find a more user friendly method of sharing your themes, such as the KDE store:

This also doesn’t require any git repos, or distro packaging because it can be installed on any Plasma install on any distro.

You can also ask @rugyada about adding it to this topic:

You will probably need to create an install package and any documentation about how to install it, but @rugyada should have all the answers for that.

Hi @zeroability @rugyada , and thank you so much for the support you’re giving me , I really appreciate this.

Today I created a separate repo for my icon themes (I’m planning to add more icon sets in the fututre, it’s a really relaxing task for me :grin: )

Please , let me know if this can be accepted
