Testing 1.2.3

Please be patient with me & excuse the 404′s(not found). I am currently setting up a repository for just themes hosted here. I had to move all the debs to specific folders. I am happy to announce they are GPG signed:

+ GPGHome=/root/.gnupg/
+ MainDir=themes
+ for Arch in i386 amd64
+ Dir=themes/all/binary-i386
+ apt-ftparchive packages themes/all/binary-i386
+ cat themes/all/binary-i386/Packages
+ gzip -9c
+ cat themes/all/binary-i386/Packages
+ bzip2
+ for Arch in i386 amd64
+ Dir=themes/all/binary-amd64
+ apt-ftparchive packages themes/all/binary-amd64
+ cat themes/all/binary-amd64/Packages
+ gzip -9c
+ cat themes/all/binary-amd64/Packages
+ bzip2
+ rm -f themes/Release themes/Release.gpg
++ date
+ Date='Fri Dec 10 18:11:02 EST 2010'
+ echo 'Origin: Ultimate Edition'
+ echo 'Label: Theme Linux'
+ echo 'Suite: themes'
+ echo 'Version: 1.0'
+ echo 'Codename: themes'
+ echo 'Date: Fri Dec 10 18:11:02 EST 2010'
+ echo 'Architectures: amd64 i386'
+ echo 'Components: all'
+ echo 'Description: Themelinux Themes'
+ apt-ftparchive release themes
+ gpg --sign --homedir=/root/.gnupg/ -ba -o themes/Release.gpg themes/Release

You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "Glenn Cady (Theme linux repository) "

I wrote 2 relatively large scripts that automates the building of debs including lintian the resulting deb before moving it to the appropriate folder. Once successfully built the other script signs the deb and builds a Package.gz. No more spending weeks working on the repositories ;) The next beast will be Ultimate Edition’s repositories. I have also re-built all themes, I am sure you will be happy with the layout. I have created a deb that will automatically add the repository and gpg key.

No more:

I can’t remember how many times I have asked for someone sometimes 50 or so at a time to take away from me controlling the repositories (I am not bulletproof and have many jobs). Once they understood a mistake and you will screw up 100 thousand+ ppls computers. They instantly decline. I have now automated it. Let’s remove the human element of mistake, let processors make it ;) I will not unleash it until throughly tested. Do you think for one second I will not publish the source? I am all about open source and Linux progression. I have taught a majority of my competitors, ask me if I care. Keep on rockin’ the free world.

I will explain in greater detail after I have it up and running full tilt. Mr. Breeg has been on my rump to bring Ultamatix to par. This will be one less thing for me to worry about. How about automation of Ultamatix ;) We will see. I lost alot of sleep on this one.

If you are a brave soul and want to test it please bare in mind I am still working on it & package breakage may result the following package will add the repository. Select origin in Synaptec and select the theme linux repo, for now restricted to members of this site only:


Themelinux Repository

Ultimate Edition Lava Theme Download:Theme Linux Repository (1.99 kB)
Version: 0.0.1
Hits: 3881 hits
Description:

This deb will add themelinux.com's repository and GPG key. This not only ensures you get the latest version of the themes available on this site, but tools as well.

Upgrading wordpress has caused issues and I have lost 1000′s of registered users, but 2. Admin acct. I can understand, but kept only 1 regged user. Why? I have been downloading a back of all 11 servers. 145 GB down really sucks think about it even solid 1MB/s how long will this take? Forum has ~11,000 regged users. I am sorry previous registered users here will have to re-register.

Merry Xmas,

TheeMahn
