Description of problem: In kdebase3 we use a symbolic link to define a default face icon: # own %{_datadir}/apps/kdm/faces mkdir -p %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/apps/kdm/faces pushd %{buildroot}%{_datadir}/apps/kdm/faces ln -sf ../pics/users/default1.png .default.face.icon popd kdebase4 is missing this symbolic link. So if we ever have a theme with a user list, it would be good to have a default face icon for all users.
This file should still be there, only it's %{_kde4_appsdir} now instead of %{_datadir}/apps.
Oh, actually you mean the symbolic link itself is missing. That's easy to add.
(In reply to comment #2) > Oh, actually you mean the symbolic link itself is missing. That's easy to add. Indeed. I think we've only missed to also add this from kdebase.spec to kdebase-workspace.spec. (I've really forgotten about that when packaging kdebase-workspace)
I'm going to fix this.
could also be added to kde-settings (so we don't force a rebuild of all of kdebase-workspace). Has the added benefit of allowing sites to "theme" their face icons (by providing their own kde-settings).
Well, the icons are in kdebase-workspace, so we'd either leave a dangling symlink in kde-settings or have to require kdebase-workspace from kde-settings.
we have to avoid dangling symlink as we can. I'm against dangling symlink in kde-settings
imo, dangling symlink would be harmless. the face icons are only useful when/if kdebase-workspace is installed anyway. Shrug, like I said in irc, either way works. :)
