Thursday, November 13th 2003 06:50

Security
System :: Systems Administration

About: afick is another file integrity checker, designed to be fast and

changed, or removed). The configuration syntax is very close to that of
aide or tripwire, and a graphical interface is provided.

Changes: The exit status now depends upon the detected changes. afick now
controls itself (binaries, config file, database).

[029] - G Pascal 0.0.8
by Michael R Gibson (http://freshmeat.net/users/MichaelRGibson/)
Thursday, November 13th 2003 13:52

About: G Pascal is a scripting version of Pascal. It is an interpreter,
not a compiler; it is based primarily on UCSD Pascal and tries to adhere
to strict guideline standards. Some alternative exceptions are made for
convenience, but the standard way of coding is always maintained.

Changes: The compile script has been tweaked to work with the new code. An
rmdir() function has been added. A FILE.IOResult system variable has been
added. unlink() now returns FILE.IOResult. unlink() will now take variable
names. FILE.info is assigned as an integer. This fixes a bug where if the
first var defined was a 'text' file, other variables would not print in
the second argument of write() and writeln(). get_system() Fedora Linux
support has been added. Space/parsing problems before and after variables
in write(), writeln(), concat(), and insert() have been fixed. Real number
addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication have been fixed.

Thursday, November 13th 2003 02:59

Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Desktop Environment :: Gnome 2
Utilities

About: Informant is a set of utilities for keeping a user informed of
events. It consists of an informant, which is the means by which the user
is alerted to the occurrence of the said event, and a number of sources
that "whisper" an alert to the informant when the event occurs.
Currently, the informant is implemented as a GNOME panel applet or a
stand alone GTK program. When an alert has been whispered by a source,
the text of the applet or GTK program changes from "No alerts" to "New
Alerts". The user can click on the text and a window will pop up
containing a list of the alerts received and the time they were received.
The sources provided are the original CVSToys source, an email filter
source and a daemonized version of it, an RSS feed source (relying on
TouRSSt), a Web page change monitoring source, and a simple command line
source that can be called from anything else.

[039] - Java Serialization to XML 2.1.4 (JSX 2)
by Brendan Macmillan (http://freshmeat.net/users/yow/)
Thursday, November 13th 2003 23:26

Communications
Database
Software Development

About: Java Serialization to XML (JSX) allows you to write and read any
Java object graph as XML data with one line of code. You can verify your
data and manipulate it with standard XML tools like DOM, JDOM, and XSLT.
JSX automatically creates a file format/wire protocol for all Java
objects, so that it is always up to date as the code evolves. When you
need backward compatibility, JSX provides the evolution techniques of Java
Object Serialization, and you can also modify the XML directly. Unlike
databinders, such as JAXB and Castor, no explicit mapping is required, and
JSX works for all objects.

Changes: This version includes an XML schema of the XML format for all
classes serialized with JSX. A walk-through for using a memento to change
the representation of Java classes was added.

file flags, automatic archive format detection, automatic byte order
recognition, automatic archive compression/decompression, remote archives,
and special features that allow star to be used for full and incremental
backups. It includes the only known platform independent "rmt" server
program that hides Linux incompatibilities. The "rmt" server from the star
package implements all Sun/GNU/Schily/BSD enhancements and allows any
"rmt" client from any OS to contact any OS as server.

Changes: Multi volume continuation headers (that allow to skip rests of
split files when starting past volume #1) now are implemented for the
default FIFO case. Recognition of 'packed' archives was fixed.
Auto-decompression support was added for 'pkzip' archives. There is a new
option -print-artype that prints compression and archive type. A new
option artype=headertype, as an alias for H=headertype, has been
introduced because -H has been defined otherwise by POSIX.1-2001. A bug
with chdir() in the copy mode was fixed, as was a bug that caused star
to reject files > tape volume size set by tsize= even with -multivol
active.

[064] - sg_utils 1.05 (Linux 2.4)
by Douglas Gilbert (http://freshmeat.net/users/dpgilbert/)
Thursday, November 13th 2003 07:08

About: The sg_utils package includes variants of the Unix dd command
called sg_dd and sgp_dd that speed copies to, from, and between SCSI disks
and CDROMs. sg_map and sg_scan supply information about SCSI devices and
how they are related to other drivers. There are utilities for timing and
testing SCSI devices and the SCSI bus. The sg3_utils package is for the
Linux 2.4 series, while sg_utils is for the 2.2 series with some support
for the 2.0 series.

Changes: sginfo (derived from scsiinfo) was reworked so it can access (and
modify) modern SCSI mode pages (as found in SPC-3 and SBC-2). sg_dd,
sgm_dd, and sgp_dd were made capable of reading and writing to very large
stores (8 byte logical block addresses).

System :: Operating System
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions :: CD-Based

About: Franki and Earlgrey Linux are proof-of-concept Linux distributions
for small and embedded-class systems whose configuration is controlled by
a loosely-knit suite of scripts designed to produce utility toolchains,
known as STUBS. STUBS (the Toolchain and Utility Build Suite) is driven by
an easily-tailored set of configuration files and acquires the requisite
sources by download. Subject to runtime dependencies, it is capable of
working within the Franki Linux environment.

Changes: This STUBS configurations release includes the configuration for
the current Earlgrey 0.4.3 image and updates to the forthcoming Franki
0.4.3[pre2] extension packages (binutils, fileutils, cmdftp, tinyproxy). A
number of package configuration files have been updated to reflect changes
in the download URLs.

Software Development :: Embedded Systems
Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Operating System

About: uClibc (µClibc) is a C library for developing embedded Linux
systems. It is much smaller then the GNU C Library, but nearly all
applications supported by glibc also work perfectly with uClibc. Porting
applications from glibc to uClibc typically involves just recompiling the
source code. uClibc even supports shared libraries and threading. It
currently runs on standard Linux and MMU-less Linux (also known as
µClinux) systems with support for ARM, i386, h8300, m68k, MIPS, mipsel,
PowerPC, SH, SPARC, and v850 processors.

Changes: Several configuration problems that were breaking things like
soft-float support were fixed. Several additional minor cleanups were
made.
