Use symlinks for the KF5-support sound paths (!15) · Merge requests · Plasma / Oxygen Sounds

Ismael Asensio requested to merge work/iasensio/invert-symlinks into master Nov 11, 2023

Provide the actual sound files within the sound theme structure, and the legacy filenames (for KF5 apps) as symlinks in the usr/share/sounds base directory.

This makes the theme more portable and less fragile, improving the previous logic where the KF6 sound names relyed on the legacy KF5 oxygen names.

Also make the installation of the legacy symlinks optional under the CMake flag -DKF5_SUPPORT (enabled by default).
