Oxygen icons is back and updated and due to be part of Plasma 5.5

https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/workspace/oxygen-icons

Currently everything in Plasma has the same version number which will be 5.5.0

But Oxygen Icons has already been released as part of Applications
with a tar named oxygen-icons-14.12.0.tar.xz

So how to release it now?

We could rename it to say oxygen-icons-plasma5 or oxygen-icons5 (a wee
bit of faff in the release scripts)

We could reversion it to say use the year/month scheme
oxygen-icons-15.12 (a wee bit of faff in the release scripts and in
distro packaging scripts)

Or we could just release it with a lower version number and tell
distros to sort it out with epochs (a bit of faff in the distro
packaging scripts).

Thoughts welcome

Jonathan
