Hello team,
f35-backgrounds is ready for review which is trivia to do. It is needed
for the beta release along desktop-background.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1997854
Thanks in advance

Back when we were distributing source RPM DVDs, there was a reason to have a
new package every release, so the files for the older releases weren't
taking up space. But since we don't do that much anymore, maybe it would be
better to make one source package and add f35-backgrounds, f36-backgrounds,
etc., etc. as new subpackages? (Maybe an f3x-backgrounds release, and start
over at f4x-backgrounds, so it doesn't get too crazy?) That way, a new
package review wouldn't be required every time.
I'd really love to get to where we're releasing the _next_ release wallpaper
right into rawhide very shortly after the branch, so rawhide always has the
future wallpaper ready to go and we're _way_ ahead of any release deadlines.

This is just a thought, though. If the current process is working for you,
don't let me get in the way!

Wouldn't a source package named 'fedora-backgrounds' work? Each branch
in dist-git would allow for new wallpapers each release. An RPM using
the Fedora version as its version would result in an NVR that clearly
identifies the wallpapers:
* fedora-backgrounds/f34 => fedora-backgrounds-34-1.fc34
* fedora-backgrounds/f35 => fedora-backgrounds-35-1.fc35
* fedora-backgrounds/f35 => fedora-backgrounds-35-2.fc35
But I must be missing something; this seems like its way too simple a
solution.

Well, the current solution -- or having subpackages -- lets you install old
wallpaper on new systems. Since a lot of the old wallpaper is _awesome_,
that's desirable.
