WordPress doesn't report the currently active theme

[josephscott]

In rev [11714] WordPress stopped reporting the currently active theme to api.wordpress.org - see ticket #10220 for more history.

I've created a small patch to fix this, while I was in there I renamed the field 'active_theme' instead of 'template' to be more descriptive.

Should it use 'stylesheet' instead of 'template'?

The whole naming convention in this function is a little sucky it seems.

I guess we should clear some of that up too.

$current_theme->active_stylesheet = get_option( 'stylesheet' );
Should probably add so we get parent and child theme

Does api.wordpress.org need any fields other than Name and Version. It seems we are sending a lot of useless data.

Also, current_theme is being filled with the previous update response and then stuck into the request. Seems current_theme when sent in the request should not have checked and response fields.

That cleans things up a bit. $current_theme is gone. Instead the current theme slug is assigned to the 'current_theme' key of the themes array. This gets rid of all of the local cache junk that was being sent to api under the current_theme key. The themes array is populated with only the Name and Version for each theme. That's all I see being used api side. The last cached update and the new update are in better named $last_update and $new_update variables.

Send more theme fields to api. Blacklist unneeded fields.

It seems we need to send more than just version, name, and slug to help with disambiguation. Updated patch to blacklist certain fields and let the rest through.

I don't think we need Description, Tags or Screenshot fields either.
