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.

> +     (version (git-version "0.0.0" revision commit))
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 :)

Cheers
