Yaru: Is there a way to update the Suru icon pack on Ubuntu 18.10?

[snydox]

Long story short, I had Ubuntu 18.04, and I installed Yaru via snap. Last week, I suddenly got new icons for Firefox, and LibreOffice. Yesterday I performed a fresh installation of Ubuntu 18.10 and I haven't gotten the new icons yet. I don't use Flatpaks or Snaps for my apps, so the icon theme should work without problems.

Note: I don't remember if I added the Yaru ppa as well.

Unfortunately this is the drawback of snap/apt. On snap, each new commit is available in edge first and then in stable channel, while in 18.10 only some snapshots (no pun intended) are updated.

It won't be long before you can have the latest and greatest by upgrading to 19.04 😁

I'm sorry that we can't provide a better solution. Are you ok with me closing this issue @snydox?

You can still use this to build it from src and log out and log in into "Yaru" session, then you have the latest version. When you want to get the changes, use "git pull origin master" and build again

Needed before install

sudo apt install libgtk-3-dev git meson sassc

Download the repository from github

git clone https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru.git
cd yaru

Initialize build system (only required once per repo)

meson build
cd build

Build and install

sudo ninja install

Sure, you can go ahead and close it. It was more a question than an Issue. :)

Thank you for the fast replies guys.
