[F12 Artwork] Constantine backgrounds packages

[Martin Sourada]

Hi all,

I've just put together initial packages containing the Constantine
wallpapers I consider (based on the feedback we received) to be "worth"
putting in for Alpha. There is constantine-backgrounds package [1] which
contains tatica's mocaico and Mo's and Nicu's underwater mosaic, both as
slide-show (switching between those two once twice per hour) and
separately. Next there is constantine-backgrounds-extras package [2]
which contains Samuele's 4flowers and 4horses, Jayme's Constantine
Statue, Charlie's bird mosaic and tatica's pruebas and freedom. I've
created 16:10 and 4:3 versions for all the included images in 1600x1000,
resp. 1600x1200 resolution.

The desire is to select one of those two in constantine-backgrounds to
be the F12's default, and in the extras package we'll put four selected
designs, chosen from either the two packages or from external sources.

If these packages are OK with everyone -- I'd especially like people to
test it on 4:3 screens as I have only 16:10 and to check if I hadn't
omitted some popular design -- I'll submit them for inclusion in Fedora.

Thanks,
Martin

Could you estimate when the one will be selected?

I hope we'll select it within a next week (I've added a milestone for
that for next Tuesday on the F12 Artwork wiki page[1]). It would be nice
to have the default already selected in time for Alpha so that you could
include it in KDE as well -- and this time frame seems to fit well with
that desire.

That depends pretty much on all of us here, on our input and where we 
put our work.
Nobody (unless if ungratefully we force it on Mo) will step out of the 
blue and make the decision.

I really would like to see my concept on package.

I meant that I would like to see this in constantine-backgrounds as a
candidates to be a default.

Could we please keep this discussion here? I did not appreciate seeing
this being stirred up as some major controversy on Planet Fedora this
afternoon as well as on some twitter/identi.ca posts.

No; I talked to the person who made the post and it's sorted. I just
wanted to post a reminder here on list, since this must have been the
source of information that sparked it.

Well, I'm not really inclined either way and there seems to be
non-ignorable amount of people who want it in default so I moved it to
default for now. The updated packages are now in koji:
