FYI,
The packaging committee passed a new guidelines wrt icon cache scriptlets:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/ScriptletSnippets/iconcache
(pending FESCo/Core-cabal ratification).
In short, replace existing scriptlets
touch --no-create %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor || :
%{_bindir}/gtk-update-icon-cache --quiet %{_datadir}/icons/hicolor || :
with
%{_bindir}/xdg-icon-resource forceupdate --theme hicolor || :
It is interesting to note that this proposal doesn't actually address
the one problem that there is with the current snipplets, namely that
we keep regenerating the cache over and over.
True, other problems like needless cache regeneration is indeed (still)
a problem, but, afaik, no solution exists for that, yet.
Main problem *this* proposal is (trying to) address:
The freedesktop.org icon spec only mandates 'touching' top-level icon
dir, but current packaging guidelines include toolkit-specific (gtk2)
cache implementation details. Removing those details without addressing
related gtk2 RFE yields stale gtk2 icon cache.
I proposed keeping the exising gtk-update-icon-cache as an option for
icon scriptlets, and this was universally shot-down by the PC. They
insisted on simplicity.
So, this led to option 2:
Propose using only xdg-utils. This simplifies the guidelines, uses
desktop-agnostic tools, and (virtually) fixes the gtk2 issue, since it
guarantees that the gtk2 icon cache is (should be!) kept current.
