I've got two packages for two GTK2 engines, those being Murrine and Candido. Get them here and here, respectively. And well, I got tired of typing sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove, so I just made myself a small bash script called update.
The script is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
# Date: December 04, 2006
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove
You might also want to do this:
sudo ln -s /path-to-script
That way you just have to type 'update' into a terminal and your whole system will be automatically upgraded and old, unneeded packages removed.

Easy script if you do these commands all the time but not really secure. What if autoremove would screw up someway or another and mark a bunch of packages for removal?
Normally you would notice that (if you pay attention :)) but now you'll just get screwed ;)
You're right, but I do find it useful most of the time.
What I do is go into synaptic and check the packages that are set to be auto removed. I do that once every few days, or once a week sometimes. Once I'm sure the packages are not important I just run "update" and that's that.
Maybe there's a way to let the user know what packages will be removed, and let him chose. I'll look into it...
Thanks for the comment!
