Just got done talking with the Shimmer Project. Greybird, and the other Shimmer Project Xfce themes, are now using git-tags, which means no more "release" tarballs. Instead, when a state in the git repository is considered "release quality", it will be tagged with a version number. In this case, the PKGBUILD is based on git-tag 0.2.1. This includes the gtk-3.0 theme as well as other modifications to the theme. I won't use git for this PKGBUILD, since the git-tag can be downloaded in .tar.gz format. This means git isn't needed as a makedep. Less to download, less to worry about. I am thinking about also including the Greybird wallpaper in the near future, if possible.

@jere2001 Just finished talking to the Shimmer Project. They follow the Ubuntu cycle, so any "final release" of a theme will arrive every six months; nothing in between. They might also clean up their repos as well. The next Greybird release will also include the wallpaper with the suite, just like Albatross and Bluebird already do. In the meantime, someone had made a PKGBUILD for xfce-theme-greybird-git, if you want to try it out. I don't make git PKGBUILDs, because they aren't considered "finished products" since they are constantly being modified and patched up. If you install a PKGBUILD from a git repo one day, and someone else installs the same thing a week later, even though it's the same "version" you both will have two different products. That's another reason I avoid git PKGBUILDs. We'll see what happens. I might contact them again in the future if there's an issue, but so far it seems we'll have to stick with the current releases of all the Shimmer Project themes, or use the git versions. Thoughts on this?

@jere2001 I'm following the distinct releases by the Shimmer Project, not the changes in the git repo. They haven't released a "stable" Greybird since 0.2 yet, which is odd. I'll contact them to see if they can release a 0.3 or 1.0, like they have been doing with Albatross, Bluebird, and Greybird in the past. For some reason, they don't even include the new Greybird wallpaper yet.

A quick heads up: Greybird is still incomplete, but is currently being worked on.

Shimmer Project has switched from mercurial to Git. PKGBUILD updated accordingly.

Package now recommends elementary-icons as an optdepends. This icon set is used by the project to match their Xfce themes.
