General Information
===================

gtk-update-icon-cache is a tool from GTK+ to update icons and themes caches.

It is split from the GTK+ sources by the Gentoo Gnome team to help GTK+ 2 and 3
to co-exist better by extracting the single conflicting tool.

Official sources of this tool are located at:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/blob/gtk-3-24/gtk/updateiconcache.c

Installation
============

gtk-update-icon-cache requires GLib >= 2.53.4 and gdk-pixbuf >= 2.30.0.

Updating
========

* Run `utils/update.sh <release tag>` in toplevel source directory.
* Update version number in `meson.build`
* Review the updates it did.
  - Watch out for C code changes needing something extra from the build system
    (e.g. more preprocessor macros to declare).
* Synchronize dependencies to glib and gdk-pixbuf, even if not strictly needed.
* Commit the updates and tag it.
* Push it (don't forget to push tags)

From there
`https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/gentoo/gtk-update-icon-cache/-/archive/<version>/gtk-update-icon-cache-<version>.tar.bz2`
can be used as source tarball.
