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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
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.
