OK, a lot of quick action on this, on the part of several people yesterday and this morning. Here's what we discovered: Package bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161637 Upstream git: https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/background-logo-extension.git/ (1) The SRPM in the bug appears to be *newer* than git (includes e.g. prefs.js, control utility). Maybe something wasn't pushed? However, the SRPM seems like it should work. (2) We need to package a wordmark, since that works visually better than the Fedora infinity-bubble logomark. Also, from the mockups, an < 100% opacity was desirable. Ryan has sent that on to Spot to add to fedora-logos. (3) The package needs a .gschema.override file to point to the new logo. That seems like the right thing to do for a distro-specific change like this. I wasn't able to find fmuellner on line yesterday or this morning, so given the freeze, Stephen Gallagher was planning to help us with packaging since he's a provenpackager. I pasted this: http://fpaste.org/151778/16319651/ If anyone has concerns or suggestions, please add them ASAP... the freeze is on today, so we may end up needing a QA exception to get this stuff done. -- Paul W.
