[bug#43198] Questions about "Add breeze icon assets"

[Hartmut Goebel]

Hi Prafulla,

sorry, I'm late for the show and this is already merged. I packages quite a lot KDE packages and also made several attempts to make plasma-desktop run on guix.

I'm curious about breeze-artwork and breeze and have some questions:

1. What is the reason you broke up breeze into breeze-assets and breeze? What is the use of having a package "breeze-assets"?

I'm asking since in guix we typically do not split up packages this way, but are using different "outputs".

2. What is the reason you inherit breeze(-artwork) from breeze-icons?

I'm asking since

a) breeze-icons are part of KDE Frameworks, whereas breeze is part of KDE Plasma. So I expect these to be somewhat independent of each other, as one can see by quite different version numbers.

b) While breeze-assets inherits breeze-icons, it overwrites all information inherited from except of the build-system and some inputs. Even the version is different.

3. What is the reason for breeze becoming unified with breeze-icons?

I'm asking since, as explained above, I'd expect these to be somewhat independent of each other. (breeze of course requires breeze-icons).
