I have just updated to Fedora 24 and noticed that in the KDE Settings / Look-and-Feel module I have F24, Breeze and Breeze Dark that I can choose. I also have two broken modules - Fedora Twenty Three and Fedora Twenty Two. The files appear to be in /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel For e.g. org.fedoraproject.fedora.twenty.four/metadata.desktop it is bundled inside f24-kde-theme For org.fedoraproject.fedora.twenty.two/* and org.fedoraproject.fedora.twenty.three* they are bundled inside plasma-workspace. Could they be unbundled (at least for F24 going forward) ?
Not really, those are really simply consequences of how those previous fedora themes were designed and packaged. There's really little point in going back and redesigning them now (and risk breaking anything).
Hmm. Reinstalling f22-kde-theme-22.3-7.fc24.noarch and f23-kde-theme resolved the broken modules. I would argue that the either the dependencies are broken (in that uninstalling f22-kde-theme/f23-kde-theme leads to broken modules) or plasma-workspace bundling is incorrect.
Again, it is simply an unfortunate consequence of prior design choices. And fixing it properly would be (too) invasive (in my opinion).
Fair enough. I have a workaround to prevent the broken modules. Do you think fixing the packaging (or deps) for a future rawhide would be a problem?
To clarify, I'm ok with fixing themes for future releases (ie, f22 can be fixed in f23+, and f23 can be fixed in f24+). It's just not a priority for me, but I'd happily accept help/patches. Now that I think about it more, fixing f22 should definitely be doable and easy... particularly since it's so close to EOL and we ship older versions of plasma there (so we don't have to worry about keeping plasma-workspace.spec compatible and mergeable). f23 maybe trickier, but I'm open to any ideas you may have.
Good points! So as I understand F22 could be fixed with an update to strip the packaged theme after end of this month (?) According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle F23 will be maintained until 1 month after F25. Would it be easiest to simply wait till it goes EOL like F22 and fix it the same way (which I suppose would be for F26 development ? ) [ I don't know whether plasma-workspace would be always backported to F23 or not... ]
That approach is acceptable to me. Note: care probably should be taken to try to migrate users of the previous, but now obsolete and missing, theme to something else... probably the current default.
Sounds good to me :-) And using the current default seems sensible as well. Thanks!
*** Bug 1388022 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I have now updated to Fedora 25 and if I remove f22-kde-theme-22.3-7.fc24.noarch.rpm and f22-kde-theme-22.3-7.fc24.noarch then I am left again with broken theme modules because plasma-workspace-5.8.1-1.fc25 bundles /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.fedoraproject.fedora.twenty.two and /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.fedoraproject.fedora.twenty.three Couldn't the /usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.fedoraproject.fedora.twenty.two/* be bundled inside the f22 theme module therebye allowing for independent removal?
Upgraded to F26 and problem still exists.
rebasing to rawhide/FutureFeature, to avoid risk of autoclosing this.
