These are definately developer oriented, I dont really think they fit with our target users. There are a few like cvs-controlled, cvs-modified.
Is there a large benefit to removing them or a major drawback with keeping them? I see how they don't fit our target users, however I'm not sure I see where the problem is. Also, what would the best solution involve?
Personally I find them confusing, our target users dont even know what cvs is. Sure they can ignore them but there are a lot of them so they add some scanning difficulties without reason (they are really useful only if you have the cvs view installed). Views dependent icon should really be installed with the view itself. So, no, I dont think there is a major drawback with keeping them. It's just one of these polish things. One alone is not a big problem but the sum of them can be... Now the right implementation would be to have these installed by the cvs view package but they are actually part of the icon theme, so that would be somewhat weird. I cant think of a clean solution, so if you dont think it's an issue please just go ahead and close this. We can reconsider if other views start doing the same thing...
Aren't these used for nautilus-vcs? Deleting them makes that not work. Would be better to hide them in normal emblem use or something.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
We should probably keep them around, but hide them in the UI somehow.
Still around in FC6... Might be even better to ship them with nautilus-vcs, it there is such a package ?
I don't think nautilus-vcs is maintained anymore. We should probably just remove the icons for now.
Moving to devel. What's the current state of this?
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
