Hi,

You probably want to set up your MUA or git correctly :)

There's no reason to set up an icons file.  We have gnome-xyz, which
carries themes, icon-themes and extensions, which is also visually
grouped into these categories for the most part.  Sort it into the
icons there.

Given that this has no release at all, can we really pin the current
head of master and assume this will be roughly the same Newaita as e.g.
on Arch or Gnome Look (which for the record is still broken in
Epiphany)?

copy-build-system exists, so you might want to use that instead of
whatever this is trying to achieve.

That Newaita appears to by CC BY-NC-SA, so it'd be disallowed in Guix.
On a related note:

We have no ways of claiming that.  Upstream only put the GPL (3, no
plus) somewhere in the repo and called it a day.  You might want to ask
them to clarify where the license applies and whether it's a plus by
raising an issue.

Less advertisement, more description please :)

It was suggested in the IRC that I make an icons module for independent icon themes that are unaffiliated with GNOME and KDE. But I'd be happy to move it wherever it is preferred.

I don't follow your line of thought. I'm currently using the icon theme with no issue whatsoever, how would adding it to the repository be any different?

Ah yes, this was the wrong link -- pointing to the original Newaita icons. Newaita-reborn is GPL3. Is the declaration of GPL3 insufficient?

Disseminate,
Peace

I think there is.  Putting GNOME extensions in gnome-xyz makes 
sense, along with GNOME-specific themes.  These icon themes are 
neither.

Kind regards,

While not necessarily GNOME-specific, I'd still say icon packs
primarily target a GNOME or KDE audience, with Guix traditionally
shipping more of the GNOME-adjacent ones.  The name "newaita" also
sounds much like Adwaita, which as we all know is the default icon
theme for GNOME.

We currently have the following icon themes:

Would you suggest collecting them all in a single file?  Can that even
be done (particularly the mate one looks sus in terms of dependencies)?
