I agree that packaging all themes is doable. However, how would I create a src: package with different upstream tarballs? I could use some help with that. Providing a virtual package for all themes is also a good idea.Hello Matthias,Am 23.03.24 um 17:40 schrieb Matthias Geiger:Hi Carsten, thanks for maintaining KiCad. What you mentioned is true for Kicad <= 7.0. With 8.0 a change landed enabling installation of colorthemes system-wide (see https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/15920). I already created a package and installed it and it works as intended. Since this does not touch user files this conforms to Debian policy. The plugin manager does not show this scheme as installed since it only looks for user themes.nice, o.k., then upstream has still some work to do. :-)Would it not better creating one src:package which would package the various themes all together that are out there? e.g. named kicad-themesI dislike a bit multiple packages that a user needs to know (and to install then) if all could get packaged into one. There could be of course also a virtual package kicad-themes which pulls in the installation of all the real other theme packages.Most of the other themes are not under heavy development and will only change randomly. Downside otoh is you will need to run a own scripting to detect changes. Is also not that complicated.But that's up to you if you can agree on my ideas.
Would you be ok with this package being maintained under the Electronics Team ?
