[Bug 839736] Re: images/ full of unused image files

[Matthew McGowan]

Hi could people give the linked branch a quick test.  Please test both
./software-center-gtk2 and ./software-center-gtk3 as they make use of
different content.  Also not sure what older versions of software-center
still require as far as data/* content.

Also note i am getting the following error when i attempted to test
software-center-qml:

matthew-dev at matthew-Latitude-D620-dev:~/Projects/usc/images-cleanup$ ./software-center-qml
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
  import gobject._gobject
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

(Bug#840721)


As such i have not tested software-center-qml with the removed images.

There is more we can cleanup, for instance some icons appear twice,
notably the spinner animations.

  images/ full of unused image files

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Maybe they should be checked one by one, but as far as I can tell, the
  graphics in /usr/share/software-center/images/  (in the code,
  data/images/) are no longer used anywhere.
