description:
PinePGP provides PGP and GnuPG filters for pine. PGP versions 2.6.x,
5.x, and 6.5.x are supported.

changes:
Support for multiple recipients has been added, followed closely by an
"encrypt to yourself" feature (so you can now decrypt messages which
you sent encrypted to someone else). Also, the temporary directory has
been changed so that users should have better security.

changelog: http://freshmeat.net/projects/purp/changelog/

description:
Purp is an acronym for Pugo-RPM, and it's a tool for managing
RPM-packages. Purp uses the ncurses-library which means that it's
textbased, and therefore can be used on most kinds of terminals. Purp
provides a fast and efficient way to navigate, install, upgrade, and
uninstall RPM-packages on ordinary text-terminal devices.

changes:
Purp now works fine with RPM 4, i.e. RedHat 7. This version should also
be more stable. Several parts of the code have been reviewed and
debugged.

description:
log4j is a logging package written in Java. log4j allows you to log to
a file, a java.io.Writer, a remote server, or a syslog daemon. The
package is designed so that log statements can remain in shipped code
without incurring a high performance cost. One distinctive feature of
log4j is the notion of hierarchical categories. Using categories, it is
possible to select (at runtime) which log statements are output at
arbitrary granularity. Users can choose to implement their own log
formats and output strategies.

changes:
This version fixes a number of bugs, of which one is pretty serious.
Please delete any log4j 1.0.x version you might have other than 1.0.4.

description:
FirstClass is a bulletin board system that wraps forums, file transfer,
messaging, and chat all into one neat little package. slackjaw provides
powerful chat features for the FirstClass package including IRC style
topics, personalized greetings, idle timers, last seen timers, away
messages, and logging to chat. slackjaw can also be used as a general
respository for user email addresses, and users can be mailed from the
chat. slackjaw can be laden with phrases to say on events, or can be
configured to run silently. All configuration for the bot (after
initial setup) is executed via a CGI script, which in itself is
customizable, with multiple user login and access levels.

changes:
All Date::Manip dependencies have been removed. As a result, startup is
faster and RAM requirements are less. A bug where the bot would
occasionally say its own name when joining chat has been fixed. The bot
stays quiet if users join chat and there is no topic set. Numerous
other bugs and random typos have been fixed.

Mp3blaster is an interactive text-based program that plays several
audio file types (MP3, wav, and sid). It is one of the very few mp3
players for the text console that allows full interactive control
during playback. One of its key features is the ability to compose a
very flexible playlist (while playing!). It plays most MP3 formats and
has full mixer support built in.

changes:
This release contains several bug fixes, should work on big-endian
hardware now, has much improved performance on FreeBSD, restored
buffered playback, and playlist improvements. More functionality has
been reinstated from the stable release. Please use the new

constant modification or a full-time DB administrator. It features easy
configuration/customization of variables through the DB,
user-level/group ability to see/modify tickets, and ticket notification
through e-mail.

changes:
short_desc size has been increased to 200 characters. pname has been
removed from the projects table since it's never used at all. Creator
is now shown in the ticket list. Custom list generation and status
change on "taking" a ticket have been added. Many spelling/grammar
changes are in this release. There are no more duplicate e-mails on the
same ticket, notifications no longer have escapes in them, added
tickets now submit a modification saying the ticket was created, and
generated tickets now send a notification e-mail. "Resolution text" has
been removed from "view" until it is actually implemented..

description:
APC was conceived of to provide a way of boosting the performance of
PHP on heavily loaded sites by providing a way for scripts to be cached
in a compiled state, so that the overhead of parsing and compiling can
be almost completely eliminated. There are commercial products which
provide this functionality, but they are neither open-source nor free.
Our goal was to level the playing field by providing an implementation
that allows greater flexibility and is universally accessible.

description:
The sysstat package contains the sar, mpstat, and iostat commands for
Linux. The sar command collects and reports system activity
information. This information can also be saved in a system activity
file for future inspection. The iostat command reports CPU statistics
and I/O statistics for tty devices and disks. The statistics reported
by sar concern I/O transfer rates, paging activity, process-related
activites, interrupts, network activity, memory and swap space
utilization, CPU utilization, kernel activities, and TTY statistics,
among others. Both UP and SMP machines are fully supported.

changes:
A fix for disk usage displayed by iostat on SMP machines, ability for
sar to handle I/O and transfer rate statistics with both 2.2.x and
2.4.x Linux kernels (-b option), removal of %inode-sz that was
displayed by sar -v, since the file inode-max in /proc/sys/fs no longer
exists in Linux 2.4, removal of statistics on highest in-use sockets,
relevant counters have disappeared from sockstat file in /proc/net for
2.4 kernels (sar -n SOCK), and new statistics on IP datagram fragments
(sar -n SOCK; only available for 2.4 kernels).

OSDB, the open source database benchmark, is intended for the use of
system and database developers, providing a significant chunk of
benchmark code that can be used, tailored, and tweaked according to
local needs. It is derived from AS3AP (ANSI SQL Standard and Portable
Benchmark); its most important change is the segmentation of the
benchmark, allowing developers to concentrate on the results that are
most relevant to their work.

changes:
Version 0.4 of OSDB includes support for MySQL 3.23.30.gamma (callable
interface, mysql client program), PostgreSQL 7.0.3 (callable interface,
psql client program, and Embedded SQL. The mysql client program support
is definitely broken, and there may be a bug or two remaining in the

changelog: http://freshmeat.net/projects/inn/changelog/

description:
InterNetNews is a complete Usenet system. The cornerstone of the
package is innd, an NNTP server that multiplexes all I/O. Think of it
as an nntpd merged with the B News inews, or as a C News relaynews that
reads multiple NNTP streams. Newsreading is handled by a separate
server, nnrpd, that is spawned for each client. Both innd and nnrpd
have some slight variances from the NNTP protocol (although in normal
use you will never notice); see the manpages. INN separates hosts that
feed you news from those that have users reading news.

changes:
inews no longer downloads the active file, no longer tries to send
postings to moderated groups to the moderator directly, and in general
duplicates less of the functionality of nnrpd, instead letting nnrpd
handle it. This fixes the problem of inews not working properly for
users other than news without being setgid. A man page has been added
for ckpasswd. A serious bug in the embedded Perl authentication hooks
was fixed, thanks to Jan Rychter. The annoying compilation problem with
embedded Perl filtering on Linux systems without libgdbm installed
should be fixed. INN now complains loudly at configure time if the
configured path for temporary files is world-writeable, since this
configuration can be a security hole. This release also contains many
other varied bug fixes and documentation fixes of all sorts over 2.3.0.

description:
Perl webmail is a CGI script that interfaces with a POP mail server
that you provide. It can check mail, read messages, reply, forward,
delete, send and receive attachments, and it doesn't have to be a local
mail server. This script talks strictly POP3 for receiving and SMTP for
sending mail.

changes:
This is just a bugfix release. Crypt::CBC support was added that works
in conjunction with Crypt::Blowfish, eliminating the 8-character
password issue. The cookie code was fixed (for session management and
authentication, the old method still works if you do not like cookies)
so that it actually uses the settings and values from the conf this
time. A new upload form field was added to reply and forward screens,
and updates to the Spanish language pack were made.

This version introduces a group system, thus enabling a large amount of
users to work with PHProjekt. Some security functions were added
(password encryption, an extra login page via SSL, and each module
checks authentification). Other improvements include new Czech and
Dutch versions, confirmation dialogs for some functions, and clickable

description:
NSBD (Not-So-Bad Distribution) is an automated Web-based distribution
system that is designed for distributing free software on the internet,
where users cannot trust the network and cannot entirely trust the
maintainers of software. NSBD authenticates packages with GNU Privacy
Guard (GnuPG) or "Pretty Good(Tm) Privacy" (PGP(Tm)) digital signatures
so users can be assured that packages have not been tampered with, and
it limits the maintainer to only update selected files and directories
on the user's computer. NSBD's focus is on security, leaving as much
control as is practical in the users' hands. Network transfers are done
with http or rsync.

changes:
Inclusion of a small stand-alone C program called breloc that can
relocate binary packages so the packages can be installed at a location
of the user's choice. The binary packages just have to be configured
with a "prefix" that has a sufficient number of trailing slashes to
accomodate the user's chosen location.

SLOCCount (pronounced "sloc-count") is a suite of programs for counting
physical source lines of code (SLOC) in possibly large software systems
(it's a "software metrics tool" or "software measurement tool").
SLOCCount can count physical SLOC for a wide number of languages: C,
C++, LISP, shell, Perl, Assembly, TCL, Python, Yacc, Java, Expect, lex,
awk, Objective-C, Ada, Pascal, sed, and Fortran. It can take a large
set of files and automatically categorize their type using a number of
different heuristics, and comes with analysis tools as well. It's been
used to measure entire GNU/Linux distributions, and can be used for
smaller systems too.

Version 1.4 is an "ease-of-use" release, greatly simplifying SLOCCount
installation and use. An RPM makes installation trivial for RPM-based
systems, and "make install/uninstall" makes installation easy for
others. The new front-end tool "sloccount" does all the work in one
step. A man page is now included to complement existing documentation.

changelog: http://freshmeat.net/projects/linuxvirtualserver/changelog/

description:
The Linux Virtual Server Project is an open source project to cluster
many real servers together into a highly available, high-performance
virtual server. The LVS handles connections from clients and passes
them on the the real servers (so-called Layer 4 switching) and can
virtualize almost any TCP or UDP service, like HTTP, HTTPS, NNTP, FTP,
DNS, ssh, POP3, IMAP4, SMTP, etc.; it is fully transparent to the
client accessing the virtual service.

changes:
A new "packet_xmit" function in the ip_vs_conn entry, a new
"cache_bypass" feature, clarification of all the debug levels in the
code, and code cleanups.

     name: Firewall Builder 0.8.5
posted on: Jan 11th 2001, 00:06 EST
  license: GPL
 category: GNOME/Networking

 homepage: http://freshmeat.net/projects/fwbuilder/homepage/
 download: http://freshmeat.net/projects/fwbuilder/download/

description:
Firewall Builder consists of a GUI and set of policy compilers for
various firewall platforms. It helps users maintain a database of
objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop
operations. The GUI and policy compilers are completely independent,
and support for a new firewall platform can be added to the GUI without
any changes to the program (only a new policy compiler is needed). This
provides for a consistent abstract model and the same GUI for different
firewall platforms. It supports two platforms (ipchains and ipfilter).

changes:
Initial announcement.

description:
Java Serialization to XML (JSX) is an two-way bridge between XML and
Java. It automatically creates tags and attributes from classnames and
fieldnames - instead of you writing parsing code with SAX, DOM or JDOM.
It does three impossible things: handles classes which customise their
own serialization, creates without constructors, and accesses private
fields - instead of you rewriting classes as Java Beans. It also
handles circular references and arrays of arrays. JSX is lightweight.

changes:
Bugfixes for the java.util.Date and java.sql.Timestamp classes found by
JSX Challengers. Note: there have been fundamental API changes since
JSX 0.7, though the old API still works for many classes.

urgency:
medium
