[001] - abcde 1.1.2 (Stable)
by Robert Woodcock (http://freshmeat.net/users/rcw/)
Wednesday, March 14th 2001 20:24
abcde is a frontend to cdparanoia, wget, cd-discid, id3, and your favorite
Ogg/MP3 encoder (Oggenc is the default). It grabs an entire CD and converts
each track to Ogg/MP3, then comments or ID3-tags each file, all with one
command. It supports parallelization, SMP, HTTP proxies, customizable
filename organization and munging, playlist generation, and remote
distributed encoding via distmp3.
Changes: Correct handling of nonsensical data when asked which cddb entry
to use, and graceful handling of the lack of CDDB connectivity.

[002] - adsl.sh 2.3 (Default)
by Captain Blood (http://freshmeat.net/users/captainblood/)
Wednesday, March 14th 2001 00:57
adsl.sh is a Bash script to easily manage an ADSL pptp connection (most
French "France Telecom" ADSL equipment uses this). It's pre-configured for
this kind of connection, but you can easily edit the script to make it suit
your needs. It can also update your IP adress on dhs.org and/or dyndns.org,
and gracefully restart Apache (if you use VirtualHosts, it's mandatory when
IP changes).
Changes: Checking if your IP adress has changed, and if it didn't, it
doesn't try to update dhs or dyndns, confirmation of a successful update,
checking if the Virtual Hosts really work after an update, and if not, it
keeps gracefully restarting Apache, considering a connection established as
soon as an IP is given even if pppd doesn't say "Login OK" in the logs, and
code cleanups.

by Quixy (http://freshmeat.net/users/quixy/)
Wednesday, March 14th 2001 05:46
AutoInstaller can install and uninstall programs based on the decisions of
plugins. These could include by schedule, at user demand, or a more complex
scenario. It uses plugins to handle tar.gz, tgz, zip, and rpm files through
external programs like zip, tar, unzip, etc., and uses INF files to manage
its settings.
Changes: Some bugfixes and new submenus (with no content). You have to run
the patch.sh script or you can't compile the program.

predicates" such as 'inside' and 'containing' to require a particular
relationship among tag matches, new matchers ('attrib' matches a single
attribute in a tag so that it may be rewritten, 'encloser' to grab a block
that encloses the initial match, 'tagblock' grabs an entire block,
'balanced' adds in balanced tags, and 'alternate' adds in noscript blocks
to script blocks), HTTP protocol fixes, more helpful error messages from
Rewrite, and a fix for the Rewrite hang on YAHOO rule.

user to query and view the results directly via the web.
Changes: HTTP Cookies support is now enabled. A new type of link result
was added: 'Not authorized'. A configuration error for the
load_mysql_defaults function was fixed. A disable_cookies attribute was
added in the configuration. The HtDateTime class was updated according to
that in ht://Dig. The PHP interface now features better output, added
images for link results, a bugfix in qryurls.php and listlinks.php, a CSS
file for content visualization, and dynamic language detection (only
English or Italian for now). Small bugs fixes were made.

[032] - Linux trustees 2.4 (Default)
by Vyacheslav L. Zavadsky (http://freshmeat.net/users/zavadsky/)
Wednesday, March 14th 2001 16:17
The main goal of the Linux Trustees project is to create an advanced
permission management system for Linux. The solution proposed is mainly
inspired by the approach taken by Novell Netware and the Java security API.
Special objects (called trustees) can be bound to every file or directory.
The trustee object can be used to ensure that access to a file, directory,
or directory with subdirectories is granted (or denied) to a certain user
or group (or all except user or group). Trustees are like POSIX ACLs, but
trustee objects can affect entire subdirectory trees, while ACLs a single
file.
Changes: The main change in this release is that trustees now have very
basic support of the proc filesystem, which leads to a setrusee binary
independent of the syscall number and kernel version. This version supports
2.4.2 and 2.2.18 kernels.

[041] - Net::Server 0.53 (Devel)
by Paul T Seamons (http://freshmeat.net/users/rhandom/)
Wednesday, March 14th 2001 16:00
Net::Server is an extensible class-oriented Internet server written in
Perl. The base Net::Server class contains the bulk of the functionality but
can easily be extended with subclasses, process hooks, or overridden
methods. The subclasses included with the distribution include single
process, forking server, pre-forking server, and inetd server. All
subclasses (except for inetd) allow for binding to and accepting on
multiple ports. It has the ability to read a conf file, take command line
arguments, chroot to a different directory, become another user, become
another group, maintain a pid file, and specify log file. Subclasses
contain extended functionality such as min_servers, max_servers, and
spare_servers. Written to be light but powerful, Net::Server is intended to
be the back end layer of FTP, SMTP, HTTP, ad serving, POP3, and other
services, with protocol-specific functions layered on top.
Changes: This release allows a host to be set to '*', allows the server to
bind on all addresses at the box, makes passing of host and proto on the
commandline taint clean, adds setsid functionality, adds a syslog_facility
option (the default is daemon), changes Fork and PreFork to handle
$SIG{CHLD} in a more reliable fashion, and adds parent_read_hook to the
PreFork server.

format is supported, but other formats will follow.
Changes: The deleted config.h was added again. Support for linking the
module statically was added.

[048] - Plasma EBG 0.26.06 (Main-linux)
by Konstanty (http://freshmeat.net/users/metaplasma/)
Wednesday, March 14th 2001 10:40
Plasma EBG is an empire building game with an isometric view. It runs in
multiple resolutions with graphics being displayed better for higher
resolutions; hence, lower resolutions do not suffer from being too large,
etc. Raw materials are the source of wealth, not money (as in Red Alert,
etc). To build buildings, you need wood from trees, stone from the ground,
etc. People are an important element, in that without a person unit, you
cannot control a vehicle, etc.
Changes: Initial freshmeat announcement. Minimap - Building/Object
pre-sort, and simple movement AI have been implemented.

Wednesday, March 14th 2001 11:40
Pocesti is filter which allows printing of (certain) iso-latin-2
(iso-8859-2) characters from Mozilla. It converts Unicode Postscript output
generated by Mozilla to more conservative iso-latin-2 Postscript. It has
been tested with a GhostScript installation using iso-latin-2 fonts. It can
be also used to replace the ogonkify utility when printing iso-latin-2
pages from Netscape 4.x. As a side effect, it also allows stripping of
unwanted header and footer lines from Postscript output and printing using
other font faces than the default Times-Roman. It is just quick and dirty
temporary solution which should become obsolete when Mozilla is improved to
allow advanced configuration of its internal HTML-to-PS converter.

[069] - ViperDB 0.9.8 (Default)
by Peter Surda (http://freshmeat.net/users/shurdeek/)
Wednesday, March 14th 2001 15:56
ViperDB is a file checker. It is meant to be run from cron on a regular
basis in order to monitor strange activity on a system. It supports
checking of size, mtime, privileges, UID/GID, added/deleted files, and (as
of 0.9.3) MD5 checksums. Data isn't stored in a single archive as in
tripwire, but is split among all the monitored directories. This ViperDB is
in fact a fork of the original, as the original authors seem unreachable.
Changes: Config file option parsing and process locking were broken.
Upgradingg is recommended.
