Description Enrique 2012-09-11 21:58:12 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #540878 +++

Description of problem:
Package of this usefull and interesting backgrounds was present for years
in Fedora distros (I think early as desktop-backgrounds or gnome-backgrounds),
but it seems as it isn't in actual Fedora 12 repo (nor "Everything")

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Package themes-backgrounds-gnome-0.5.1 from Fedora 11 hasn't equivalent
in Fedora 12

How reproducible:
After installing Fedora 12 and moving user accounts and their home dirs from
Fedora 11, a number of them haven't their backrounds.  It turned out that backgrounds was from "themes-background-gnome" package

Expected results:
Fedora project should IMHO continue support some collection of Gnome backgrounds.
Or create any mechanism for his internet download/re-creating.

 I also think that this package should go back to Fedora. I am using Fedora 13 after upgrading my Fedora 11 system and I also miss some of the backgrounds that where provided by this package.
 I am looking forward to see this package back in the next version of Fedora.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Fedora 14 doesn't provide the package either.
Maybe somebody with the right permissions can change the version to 14.

I try it (as bug reporter), hope it goes.

Comment 2 Christopher Beland 2013-07-12 01:40:55 UTC

I do see gnome-backgrounds in Fedora 18 (gnome-backgrounds-3.6.1-1.fc18.noarch).  Given that Fedora 17 is about to reach its end of life, I hope this satisfies this request?  If not, feel free to re-open.
