Hi, sorry for the late reply.

I had previously planned to make packages for various distributions (including debian) using Open Build Service, but for several reasons the plan has suffered a setback.

I still don't have enough knowledge of packaging, so I would like to ask for your help if possible. 😃

Hi, @isaagar

I see you are kindly trying to tackle this issue with https://github.com/isaagar/materia-theme.

Is there any news about this?
If there is anything I can cooperate for, please tell me.

Thanks.

[isaagar]

@nana-4 really sorry for the delay. Now, I'm working on packaging . I'll let you know if I need any help .

[nana-4]

@isaagar No need to be sorry! Thanks for your working. :)

[isaagar]

@nana-4 Please, try this deb . https://github.com/isaagar/materia-theme/releases/download/20171130195028-883eb28/materia-theme_20171005_all.deb
Still , some small change required in debian files.

[nana-4]

Thank you so much for your hard work!
I tested it with Ubuntu 17.10 and it was successfully (un)installed!

Let me know if any issues.

[nana-4]

@isaagar Thank you so much!!!
Looks very fine. :)

[isaagar]

@nana-4 I have done the packaging which you can see here https://salsa.debian.org/isaagar-guest/materia-gtk-theme . Its in new queue and will be available in Debian unstable in few days.

[nana-4]

@isaagar Thanks a lot! 🎉 I'm so happy and can't wait it be available 😃

BTW, what do you think about sending your isaagar/materia-theme to this repo as a PR? I thought it would make it easier to maintain the package, isn't it?

[isaagar]

@nana-4 Yeah, I'll have to update the debian packaging files before sending PR and it would be nice if you provide DEB files in github release itself.
Also , ftp-master rejected the package due to some missing license information. Here's the comment which I got now
" Your debian/copyright is missing attributions for Red Hat, Intel, etc. etc. (I
stopped looking there so please look over your entire package.)"
In your repo's COPYING file , only GPL-2+ mentioned and if there are other licenses for some files then let me know I'll update it.

[nana-4]

@isaagar Thanks for your information. I'll try to provide DEB files in github release itself.

Sorry, but honestly I don't know what license information is missing. Yes, I licensed materia-theme with GPLv2+ only, and if my understanding is correct it should be fine. :/

UPDATE:

I got it. Maybe it is necessary to mention about these?
https://github.com/nana-4/materia-theme/blob/master/src/_sass/gnome-shell/_common-3.18.scss#L7-L10
https://github.com/nana-4/materia-theme/blob/master/src/_sass/gnome-shell/_common-3.24.scss#L7-L10
https://github.com/nana-4/materia-theme/blob/master/src/_sass/gnome-shell/_common-3.26.scss#L7-L10

I might be wrong, but do we also need to mention ScionicSpectre and GNOME?
https://github.com/nana-4/materia-theme/blob/master/src/gtk-2.0/gtkrc#L1
https://github.com/nana-4/materia-theme/blob/master/src/gtk-2.0/gtkrc-dark#L1
https://github.com/nana-4/materia-theme/blob/master/src/gtk-2.0/gtkrc-light#L1

Those mentioning are basically just copied from the upstream, though.
https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-shell-sass/blob/master/_common.scss#L9-L12
https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-themes-extra/blob/master/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc#L1

[isaagar]

@nana-4 I have reuploaded package after adding missing attributions for redhat , intel.
I'll let you know about further status.

[nana-4]

@isaagar Thanks a lot!!

[isaagar]

@nana-4 Package now in unstable https://packages.debian.org/unstable/materia-gtk-theme

[nana-4]

@isaagar Awesome! Thanks 🎉

[isaagar]

@nana-4 See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892037
We'll need to change gnome-themes-standard to gnome-themes-extra. (for debian)
I'll update it in packaging files.

[nana-4]

@isaagar Exactly! So I'll update the README. Thanks!

[isaagar]

@nana-4 Uploaded new version v20180321 to the debian . Should we close this bug ?

[nana-4]

Yes, we should. I appreciate your cooperation to package in Debian. Thank you very much!
