@infra, @menulved
what abt trac system. ? u guys r not doin it. ?

 

[infra_red_dude]

yeah mehul has setup an authentication system. i hafnt been able to test it out. held up wid my gre classes

the trac tho setup now is on one of the vjti servers. we are planning to scrap that project and host the whole package on sourceforge.net.... anyways lets see...

hey folks, i'm back again this time i bring you modded leopard gtk theme (carefully edited to match the emerald theme), leopard matching itunes skin for xmms and compatible software (bmp etc.) and a leopard theme matching firefox skin. here they are:

1) leopard gtk theme:
*rapidshare.com/files/51548354/Leopard-GTK_ANi.tar.gz.html

2) itunes skin for xmms and compatible players:
*rapidshare.com/files/51548331/iTunes_Leopard.tar.gz.html

3) firefox theme:
*rapidshare.com/files/51548985/Firefox-Leopard.jar.html

*************************************************************************************

hey folks, for the moment the trac system has been scraped and i've submitted the project at SF.net for their review. lets hope we get a go and this project will be listed at SF.net

*******************************************************************

still waiting for its approval from sourceforge.net. guess it may take upto 2 dayz or so. the pack is ready. it weighs a hefty 38MiB (with the gnome macmenu hack included, that alone is 20mb!).

 

[Dark Star]

What really it is ? Plz throw some light on it

 

[infra_red_dude]

its just a compilation of the whole package (it includes almost everything to turn a linux box into a mac box). i submitted a request at sourceforge.net for hosting it. after first stage of scrutinizing they've tagged the project as APT. a status indicating that a project is an 'APT' means that the project request has been flagged as an Abandoned Project Takeover. these take 2 to 3 weeks to be fully processed. so i guess i gotta wait till that time.

 

[vish786]

@infra, cool man
the package what u have prepared will work on for a restricted version of ubuntu distro(i assume u made the package on ubuntu).
hope this package should click to many users.

Hurray!!!!

 

[infra_red_dude]

yeah, and everything that i've created/modded is GPL'd so no probs there too plus, it will work on any system wid GTK out there... linux, unix, unix like.. whatever uses gtk.

lets hope the request is considered asap and we can host the transformation pack there. the best thing about this is that wid jus a few clicks you can return back to normal ubuntu theme

 

[vish786]

the best thing about this is that wid jus a few clicks you can return back to normal ubuntu theme

oh... then people will definitely be tempted to use this " Mac Transformation Pack ". Name Given to it.

 

[infra_red_dude]

hurray!! project has been approved!!

*sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin/

need to get workin on it now!

btw, the name of the project is not mac transformation pack; its Mac4Lin

 

[Dark Star]

Congrats bro how to d/ it ? :s

 

[mehulved]

I believe I can take up creating debian and ubuntu packages for the same.
Someone up for rpm packaging?

 

[infra_red_dude]

i'm still not given DNS.. till its done i can't upload the files. i've placed the project still in the planning stage. i haf the files ready. i need to document the stuff.

of corz we need more ppl for alpha testing. mehul said he'll take care of debian and related. RPM anyone? we can also consider gentoo ppl. i think rocket will surely help

******************************************************************

am in the process of uploading the alpha version now. its a bare release. jus for testing purposes.
