Packager's comment concerning relationship of this new package with the
existing "egtk" package:

This is *not* (really) a rename of the existing (but orphaned - before I
unorphaned it recently) "egtk" package. Not only did the upstream project
change it's name from "egtk" to "elementary-theme", but it's also incompatible
with the current "egtk" version in fedora as it removed the metacity and xfwm4
themes completely.

Also, the theme itself is called "elementary" in the "index.theme" file now and
is installed to /usr/share/themes/elementary - 
whereas the "spiritual predecessor" was called "eGTK" in the "index.theme" file
and is installed to /usr/share/themes/eGTK instead.

This means that the two packages don't have file conflicts and should be
installable in parallel.


In conclusion, adding this as a new package ensures that:

1. the package name reflects the upstream project name properly, both for this
package and for "egtk", which was the name of the project and the theme at the
time of the release of the original package) AND

2. the metacity and xfwm4 themes remain available for the people who use them.


My plan for the future of the egtk package is to remove it from rawhide as soon
as possible (it's broken beyond repair on recent versions of GTK3, the new
package will fix that), wait for f24 and f25 to go EOL, and retire it then.
