Hello, Before writing the obvious patches, would anyone terribly object to moving gnome2_icon_cache_update into xdg-utils.eclass instead and hooking it up via savelist guard in xdg.eclass (only running in postinst/postrm when really needed)?
The gtk icon cache format isn't used by gtk+ only - it's used by Qt as well these days; and either way if anything installs things per the icon specs, the caches should be updated for gtk/qt to see it (even if the program itself is written in motif or something). Open dilemmas: * To DEPEND on gtk-update-icon-cache, or to rely on the toolkits to pull it in and only run the updates if the helper is present. We have it split out from gtk+ codebase, so it only has glib/gdk-pixbuf deps right now. * If it's worth trying to avoid double calls in postint and postrm for ebuilds that inherit xdg and call gnome2_icon_cache_update manually right now on top (due to xdg.eclass not doing it for them). If these changes are agreeable, then they could also be batched into a single push with the documentation update patches pending from mgorny for a single metadata cache invalidation of gnome2-utils.eclass using ebuilds. If this looks good, I can write patches soon, though there's always other things to do too (like work on integrating a gnome-meson.eclass or meson-desktop.eclass on top of this), so help with patches welcome as well.
