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. The PatternLayout lets the user customize the
output format without writing any code. Users can choose to implement
their own log formats and output strategies.
changes:
This is the first release of log4j under the Apache banner, with lots
of new features and bugfixes.

compromised.

the entire operation atomic. When rename overwrites and deletes a file,
ext3 now ensures that that file gets put on the orphan list. The

description:
Katie is a revision control system, somewhat like a cross between CVS
and NFS, and inspired by Rational ClearCase. The three most interesting
features of Katie currently are that the repository is mounted as a
filesystem (rather than being copied to a local workspace), all
versions of all files (even deleted ones) are accessible through this
filesystem (so there is, for example, no need for a Katie-specific diff
command like CVS has), and that directories are versioned (just like
files are). Basic operations (checkout, checkin, and creation of
elements) work, but there is much work still to go before it will be
generally useful.
changes:
Initial release.

name: redir-httpd 0.1.1
posted on: Jan 10th 2001, 00:23 EST
license: GPL
category: Daemons/HTTP
download: http://freshmeat.net/projects/redir-httpd/download/
description:
redir-httpd is a small and (hopefully) secure HTTP daemon. It responds
to all input by issuing a redirection request, sending the client to
another Web site. It is intended for DSL and cable-modem users who
maintain a Web site that isn't hosted on the home computer, and who
want to ensure potential visitors get where they're going while keeping
the home PC safe from intruders.
changes:
redir-httpd can now run as either a standalone process, or from inetd.
The Date: header is also returned.
