The world is filled with Free Software to do all kinds of jobs. From
top-to-bottom, a typical GNU/Linux system provides a kernel, basic
administration tools, servers, clients, a graphical substrate, and
(finally) high-level graphical environments sitting atop it all. Graphics,
sound, input, output, networking... you can find Free Software for all of
these. Despite this power given to hackers, Free Software games are often
considered to be of lesser quality, compared to those available in the
non-Free software world. In this review, I'll look at the variety of Free
Software games available today and whether Free gaming software deserves
its reputation.

[001] - Animail 1.0.6
by Juanjo A. Martínez (http://freshmeat.net/users/juanjux/)
Saturday, August 31st 2002 00:22
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents
About: Animail is a multiserver POP3/APOP/IMAP4Rev1 (with or without SSL)
mail retrieval utility. It features an advanced filtering system based on
blacklisting, whitelisting, or a combination of both. It is possible to
send an autoresponse which prompts people to reply and add themselves to
the 'autoaccept' file. It also allows filters based on a regular
expression which matches against the email headers. (If a message is
filtered, only the header is downloaded, not the entire body.) Animail
also features download ordering options. For example, you can configure it
to download the smaller messages first. Different delivery options are
available, including mailbox, maildir, local SMTP, and pipe to command.
Changes: Fixes and tweaks were made.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
About: Anti-Web httpd is a single-process Web server that relies on its
inherent simplicity to be robust and secure. It has its own type of
primitive HTML preprocessor built in, which is useful for counters, QOTDs,
etc.
Changes: A new FILESERVER option so awhttpd can function as a fileserver
without custom index.html files, and a few minor bugfixes.

About: asterisk-oh323 adds H.323 support to the ASTERISK soft PBX. It
does this by interfacing the OpenH323 library to ASTERISK through a
loadable module. The package provides the channel driver as well as a
wrapper in a shared library form. It is able to initiate and receive
calls to and from H.323 endpoints, and has been successfully tested with
the H.323 terminals on the OpenH323 site (ohphone, openphone) and
Microsoft NetMeeting.

[006] - BlackHole Spam/Virus Filter 0.9.153 (Stable)
by Chris Kennedy (http://freshmeat.net/users/getdown/)
Saturday, August 31st 2002 16:16
Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Security
About: Blackhole Spam/Virus Filter provides spam and virus filtering using
dot-files in all the major MTA/SMTP servers for UNIX and similar systems.
It is easy for an individual user to set it up with shell account access
and configure. It is different from other, similar programs, in that it
executes a minimal number of programs to do the filtering, is able to use
a MySQL database for the users' configuration files, can be set up as the
queue in Qmail, and have virtual users' configuration files be found using
the username/domain for the recipient. Multiple checks are available, and
there open options on how to treat flagged email. There is logging to
multiple entities, auto-expiration of flagged email, and scoring available
so that multiple checks require matches that add up before blocking.
Changes: Security fixes for qmail-qfilter mode, improvements to the
general permissions on /var/spool/blackhole directory, new 'accumulative'
and 'isolated' flags to match actions, and a fix for a bug with bounce
message debug output.

About: The Chemical Development Kit (CDK) classes are Java utitility
classes for chemoinformatics and computational chemistry. They are a
complete re-write of the CompChem classes that were the basis of
JChemPaint, a Java Editor for 2D chemical structures, and of JMDraw, a
Java package for the graphical layout of 2D chemical structures.
Changes: In this release a Fragment class has been added, along with the
program to download structures from the internet and a non-accelerated 3D
viewer using Jmol. The API of the core classes has slightly changed too.

[010] - CVSGnome 0.3.3
by - GALAXY - (http://freshmeat.net/users/risinghigh/)
Saturday, August 31st 2002 12:55
Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Utilities
About: CVSGnome is a powerful script that manages GNOME CVS
checkouts/updates and easily builds a GNOME 2 system on your partition
without touching your existing system in any way. This script generates
tar.bz2 balls of the checkout and updates them on the next build session.
Another feature is the generation of a ~/.xinitrc file that you simply
copy over and start your GNOME 2 session with. This script is meant for
experts only who know what they are doing and why they are doing it.
Changes: This version of CVSGnome contains a large number of tarball
version updates, a couple of changes of the cvs module tags, parallel
installation of automake 1.4-p6 and automake 1.6.3, a special LINGUAS
option which allows the user to build and install only the language he/she
wants without the need to have all of them installed, and changes to some
options in the cvs command which make it easier to switch between HEAD and
BRANCH when using the same modules.

by Michael Wojciechowski (http://freshmeat.net/users/wojci/)
Saturday, August 31st 2002 16:10
System :: Archiving :: Packaging
System :: Software Distribution
System :: Systems Administration
About: Depot is a software management tool providing a simple, yet
flexible, mechanism for maintaining third party and locally developed
software in large heterogeneous computing environments. Depot integrates
separately maintained software packages, known as collections, into a
common directory hierarchy consisting of a union of all the collections.
This common directory is defined as the software environment. A set of
configuration options manages interactions and intersections between
collections in the environment. Depot facilitates the introduction,
update, and removal of collections in a software environment. Custom
environments and complete test environments can be easily created for
individual machines or for sets of machines. Collections with unexpected
problems can be replaced with previous versions or simply removed.
Individual collections or files can be moved from remote filesystems to
the local disks of workstations without the worry that the files may
become stale. All this is achieved with minimal wasted disk space and
administrative overhead.

Saturday, August 31st 2002 23:23
Communications :: BBS
Communications :: File Sharing
Office/Business
About: This program hopes to become a viable MS Sharepoint clone. It is
basically a Web interface to a document repository (Frontpage Web), but
with many other features. It depends on Frontpage extensions for remote
authoring; otherwise it is independent. It includes a forum, calendar,
event tracking, announcements, tasks, file check in/check out, user
management, email, and more.
Changes: A few bugs in the calendar system were fixed.

[014] - Domino on Acid 1.1
by Matthias S. Benkmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/mbenkmann/)
Saturday, August 31st 2002 23:14
Education
Games/Entertainment :: Puzzle Games
About: Superficially, Dominoes on Acid is a solitaire variant of Dominoes
with weird colorful tiles (and this view is enough to play the game). But
on a deeper level it is a GUI for natural deduction. Every completed
domino is equivalent to a proof of a tautology in classical propositional
logic. The game can be played online as an applet or offline as an
application. It is built on a simple isometric engine that can be used
independent of the game.
Changes: Alt-left button can now be used instead of the right mouse button
to allow the game to be played with one-button mice. A missing paragraph
was added to the manual that explains the restrictions that apply when
using bonus blocks.

by wolf (http://freshmeat.net/users/wolfgangm/)
Saturday, August 31st 2002 16:10
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
About: eXist is an XML database with pluggable storage backends and
support for fulltext search. XML is stored in the internal, native XML-DB
or in an external RDBMS. The search engine has been designed to provide
fast XPath queries, using indexes for all element, text, and attribute
nodes. eXist is lightweight and well-suited for large document
collections. The server is accessible through easy-to-use HTTP and XML-RPC
interfaces and supports the XML:DB API for Java programming.
Changes: This is a maintenance release, which fixes some minor but
annoying bugs found in 0.8. Several incompatibilities between the local
and remote XML:DB drivers have been removed. Both drivers should now
behave as expected. Additionally, a bug leading to damaged db files when
inserting non-wellformed documents has been fixed and the
collection()-function has been extended to select more than one collection
in a query.

Saturday, August 31st 2002 01:59
Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Filesystems
About: libferris is a virtual filesystem that exposes hierarchical data of
all kinds through a common C++ interface. Access to data is performed
using C++ IOStreams and Extended Attributes (EA) can be attached to each
datum to present metadata. Ferris uses a plugin API to read various data
sources and expose them as contexts and to generate interesting EA.
Current implementations include Native (kernel disk IO with event updates
using fam), xml (mount an xml file as a filesystem), edb (mount a berkeley
database), ffilter (mount an LDAP filter string) and mbox (mount your
mailbox). EA generators include image, audio, and animation decoders.
Changes: Sped up iostreams considerably, and added support for using
gnome-vfs2 for MIME type sniffing. XFS EA names are now checked each time,
so that libferris can use new EAs created by other applications
immediately. The "content" EA is now always present. A bug with
setStrAttr() creating an EA with raw binary data when it did not exist
before was fixed.

[077] - SQLite 2.7.1
by D. Richard Hipp (http://freshmeat.net/users/drh/)
Saturday, August 31st 2002 17:34
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
About: SQLite is a C library that implements an SQL database engine. A
large subset of SQL92 is supported. A complete database is stored in a
single disk file. The API is designed for convenience and ease of use.
Applications that link against SQLite can enjoy the power and flexiblity
of an SQL database without the administrative hassles of supporting a
separate database server. Because it omits the client-server interaction
overhead and writes directly to disk, SQLite is also faster than the big
database servers for most operations. In addition to the C library, the
SQLite distribution includes a command-line tool for interacting with
SQLite databases and SQLite bindings for Tcl/Tk.
Changes: This release fixes a problem in the ORDER BY clause processing
that was introduced by the previous release, as well as some other minor
problems.

GURPS Traveller:First In rules for system generation, but a subproject
is under way to add Classic Traveller generation and output. A guile
interface to the data representation functions is provided. travlib is a
collection of C routines that should make writing a Traveller application
easier.
