From 74ce3688e55318dec0af8e25f376e613243ed6c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: nevaforget Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 08:57:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs: add README explaining snapshot origin Snapshot extracted from EliverLara/Sweet (kde/cursors/Sweet-cursors) on 2025-09-28. Documents the rationale for keeping a frozen one-shot mirror instead of tracking upstream, and points to Gigas002/Sweet for users who want a maintained variant. --- README.md | 31 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 31 insertions(+) create mode 100644 README.md diff --git a/README.md b/README.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..22a9868 --- /dev/null +++ b/README.md @@ -0,0 +1,31 @@ +# Sweet-cursors + +Cursor theme for the moonarch ecosystem — a frozen snapshot extracted from +the upstream [Sweet](https://github.com/EliverLara/Sweet) project. + +## Origin + +Files were copied verbatim from `kde/cursors/Sweet-cursors/` of +`EliverLara/Sweet` on 2025-09-28.
