@salmo:
Nice work on liladdiction, it works like a charm.

@scaba:
1. Re-including the GTK1 theme would be nice, because there's still one app (sylpheed-claws) I heavily rely on which uses it. The CVS version has support for GTK2, unfortunenately it's buggy as hell.

2. The lila-round GDM theme looks nice, I think I like preview 1 the most.

@All, especially dgt84:
Don't you all think it's time to come up with another name for the theme? Sure, "Lila" is the original color and name and everything, but given the number of mods for quite a lot of things, maybe there should be something new? Or am I the only one who thinks names like lila-green just don't sound right? If nobody else feels this way, just ignore this little rant and I'll go back to my cave and shut up...

@scaba: I don't know where I can "put it up" (see below) so I just post it. Here is a package with Lila gtk1 and 2 industrial style, the way I use it. Note that I changed the background color of the gtk1 theme because it wasn't the same as the gtk2's bg (from 0.9, 0.9, 0.9 to 0.95, 0.95, 0.95).

I was also wondering which ftp servers we're using for what... correct me if this is wrong:
We have snooper's ftp://lila.serveftp.org/ for anonymous uploads
And rezza's ftp://lila-theme.uni.cc/ for the releases, non anonymous uploads

Also, the wiki is down for quite some time now. Does anybody know more about that?

Glad to hear liladdiction is working well for everyone!

@scaba: as you guessed multiple GPG keys are fine as long as they're in the keyring. It just verifies that the signature for the tarball is cool by running `gpg --verify [tarball].asc`. I'd like to get rid of some of the system() calls, but there's not a GPG binding that I know of, and I don't want to throw in a bunch of rediculous dependencies.

And thanks for the typo note. Reminds me of when I was little, would get a 100% on a test but spell my own name wrong on the top. doh!

@citizen428: I know I've grown attached to the name. It's short, doesn't have an obvious meaning, and is kind of catchy. Whatever we named it, it would have to be ___-green anyway and my fingers have gotten used to Lila. So, yeah, back to the cave

@citizen428: oh yeah, that whole German thing. I'll go duck into my own cave now. [sound of hand slapping forehead] I'm probably the wrong person to be talking about this, because I still only use the purple theme. The other colors are a little too primary/bold/something for my taste. I've been working on a color combo for my boring taste in colors (like the ones at my blog), but haven't gotten real far with it.

Thanks for the pointer on pyme. I think my next plan is get rid of all system() calls, since a strategically placed mal-named file could potentially cause serious problems, especially since the script is run as root. I'm pretty sure I can get rid of emerge system calls, I just need to look a little more at the emerge internals and see how to call what. And I'm sure there's a nicer way to unbzip2, untar the snapshot tarball. That only leaves GnuPG. I don't want to "force" everyone to install pyme for just this little script, but what I'm thinking of doing is making it run-time optional, where it uses it if you have it, and it warns you before system()ing if you don't.

@all: I was thinking after looking at gnome-look.org, would people be interested in coming up with alternate "home" icons for other distro's? Since switching to Gentoo, I haven't been keeping up with which ones are "hip with the kids" these days (I guess RedHat/Fedora, Debian, SuSE, Slack...?). I know our primary focus is Gentoo, but as things start becoming more and more stable, it might be nice to be able to pull from a larger pool of users. And of course it fits well into that whole world domination plan thing

over the next few days i am going to build a gentoo hardened server using the template gentoo uses in the infastructure. when this is all done i'll be moving the ftp stuff over to that server following the server layout that gentoo has sent forth i'll have a mail server also so hey maybe i can host a mail server for lila if any one is interested. by the way building the new server is just for my own learning experience because hey it sounds fun and would bring me one step closer to converting people in a windows nt world over to linux yes this is my plan :twisted:

Does anyone want to step up and be the web manager i can setup the server and security but when it comes to making a webpage and what not i'm lost i took ohe an html class back 98 or 99 while in college and well i don't think it ammounted to much. backup is important and i didn't give much thought on that. it's easy enough to backup on my side but for any reason i am unavailable well... i'd say it would be a good idea to keep a backup of the main parts like the web pages ftp data and what nor on another server for safe keeping that is remote.

for logging in and doing things ssh will be enabled for those who need it with an account i would also like to have anonymous access to ftp without write and when people want to submit something they can do it via the web front end that will login to the ftp server and upload the file...

for the moment i'm looking at
iptables for firewall
apache/mod_ftpd for web/ftp
and mailman for mailing lists
what more might i need? or others want?

hosting a very large stage4 image would also do the trick, i do everything in a vm the archive and drop it off on what ever computer so if the server can go down from time to time when there have been major changed to software and what not an image can be made uploaded some where and then if all the things you said happen all you would need is find a machine extract the image and kill of my dyndns info or point it else where lila is back in business!
