The `start-here-kde.svg` icon under `icons/src/places/scalable` does not exist, and it's used as the target for the `start-here-kde-plasma.svg` symlink. Remove it from `links.txt` so the built package does not contain any broken symlinks.
This allows users on NixOS to install the theme directly from a tagged release of the git repo.

Great work on the vinyl theme! I found it a few months ago, and I've been daily driving it since.
I use NixOS for my distro, and due to the way the package manager works on the system, I had to package it for nix before I could install it. It takes a bit of trial and error to do, and it's not as simple as the other available installation methods for vinyl. I felt it might help encourage other NixOS users to try the theme if it was easier to install, so I figured I would create this PR to help with that.
Ideally, I would have just added the package on the official NixOS nixpkgs repo, but their package guidelines suggest that vinyl-theme is just a little bit too niche right now to be accepted:
As a compromise, I added the package info (
flake.nix,package.nix) directly to the repo here, similar to how other projects like vicinae and kwin-effects-better-blur-dx do it.If you feel that it's too invasive to include the nix packaging within the vinyl-theme repo itself, no worries, just close this PR.
