This is a proposal to move the PC/icons/source.xar from the core distribution to the python website. Afaics currently the derived file PC/icons/baselogo is only used, and http://www.python.org/community/logos/ has even other recommended svg files for the logo.

The logo files were added in bpo-1490384, and source.xar explained (http://bugs.python.org/issue1490384#msg50276) as:

> source.xar; not sure either

This is the primary vector graphics source of the icons -
the other SVG and PNG files are just there because other
people requested them.

It's in Xara format, a previously proprietary graphics
application which has now gone open-source and is heading
rapidly towards being usable on Linux, but isn't quite there
yet.

However Xara was never open-source and shipped with pre-built binaries afaicr, and today you can't download even that anymore. Besides not being used for the (windows) build, Debian cannot even distribute this file, because it cannot be modified in it's current form with free software, and therefore has to be removed for the upstream tarball for each Debian upload. So it would help Debian to ship the unmodified upstream tarball.

The source.xar could be kept available on the python website together with the other logo files.

IIUC, Xara for Linux is still available at http://www.xaraxtreme.org/download.html

ohh, I didn't see. however these are binaries only, and they still promise to open the sources, however the latest information on this page is for Ubuntu dapper drake (6.06), now almost seven years old.

besides the availability of the graphics program, would there be any objection to move the source.xar file to the python.org web site?

even for the window builds, I don't see any use of these icons for any build. I filed python/pythondotorg#945 to make these files available as downloadable resources. However even if these are not accepted there, I think we should remove the PC/icons directory for all active branches.
