Hola! Our most awesome icon maintainers wanted to carry over icon symlinking from breeze to oxygen, alas that turned up a whole slew of compatibility problems.
examples: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360605 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360510 # Problem In kde4 software people used oxygen as the standard icon set and installed their own icons there. Since breeze covers all icons ever, replicating its coverage into oxygen means we have a million conflicts with (older?) tarballs of existing software that also install icons into oxygen under the same name. # Proposal We could get rid of this and all future conflicts if we shift the default oxygen icons into a subdirectory. So, we install the default icons to $prefix/share/icons/oxygen/base/22x22 $prefix/share/icons/oxygen/base/32x32 $prefix/share/icons/oxygen/base/... applications can thus continue to install to $prefix/share/icons/oxygen/22x22 $prefix/share/icons/oxygen/32x32 $prefix/share/icons/oxygen/... without conflicting with our base files what so ever. Downside of this is that the index.theme basically needs to list everything twice (once for base and once for main directory), which unfortunately incurs a bit of a runtime overhead. This is a bit of a crap situation we are in and I can't think of another solution to this.
