Dear Maintainer,

Happend during update, retried after restoring my system, it happend
again. made a copy of the DIRs content, and inserted after update,
fixing the problem for me.

Hi Lasse,

this is an upstream change introduced between 1.4 and 1.5 by commit
0e395b983a21b074c6365e34d96865334b994f4b:

    scripts: move to contrib

    The default scripts have been included in the contrib repository. From
    now on, the i3blocks repository will only contain the C scheduler.
    Packagers will be able to ship i3blocks with default scripts which fit
    their system.

Given I recently adopted i3blocks as part of the i3 team and am no user
of it myself, I'm a bit unsure how to proceed.

I could add a NEWS entry to make sure users are aware of the change.

Another option would be to simply restore the blocklets from 1.4, but don't
think that's very elegant.

A third option would be to package i3blocks-contrib and make i3blocks
recommend it.

Thoughts?

I don't know much about the process behind upgrades. From your suggestions
I'd say a combination of a news entry and the addition of the
i3blocks-contrib package sounds good to me.

Am i understanding this correctly: Installing the i3blocks-contrib package
adds the scripts to /usr/share/i3blocks/? (i don't have i3blocks-contrib
package available as of now, as i understand that's because the package is
not yet available)
