Is the stock theme of 2.0.x available in VCS form anywhere?

[ajv]

I admin a small private forum running SMF 2.0.x, and we've made some changes to (a copy of) the stock theme. There doesn't seem to be a .d-style drop-in directory for local overrides, so we've had to modify the built-in index.css, etc. As a result, I expect hassle incorporating any future updates to the stock theme.

Normally I would maintain such changes in a git (or other VCS) branch based on the appropriate upstream repository, and merge updates as needed. But the stock theme doesn't seem to be published separately from SMF itself, and the SMF repo turned up by web searches doesn't include 2.0.x.

Is there any public VCS repository that contains the 2.0.x stock theme?

(my plan B is to fake an upstream branch using the initial files produced by "Install new theme -> Create a copy of Default", and repeat that to produce a new commit anytime 2.0 gets an update, so that I have something to merge with. My understanding is that 2.0 isn't technically EOL but that updates are rare, so it shouldn't be that much hassle, but I would still rather do things right if possible.)

2.0 branch is in extended support for security updates only, and there haven't been any of those since 2.0.19 was released several years ago.  There will be no changes to default Curve theme.  If you want a clean original copy of Curve, you can take it from the 2.0.19 install or upgrade packages.

The trick is...  you create a second theme from the default  -- it's an option in the theme install page.

Then you set the secondary theme as the system default and do your edits to the secondary theme instead of the default theme

Yes, that's what I did. The problem I wanted to solve is proper merging of future upstream changes. But, as Osis says:

2.0 branch is in extended support for security updates only [...] There will be no changes to default Curve theme.

This renders the problem moot anyway. Thanks.

Even if that were the case, official theme changes for 2.0 would be derivable from taking 2.0.0 and sequentially installing the 2.0 patches. That said, historically patches have always tried to avoid touching themes where possible for the exact reason you want to keep version history.
