Ever wonder why HP has seven consecutive years of Linux market share
leadership? Maybe it's our portfolio of best-of-breed partner products, or
HP value-add in management, high availability, and virtualization. Maybe
it's the integrated, consolidated infrastructure of HP BladeSystem,
single-source accountability and solution support from HP Services in 160
countries, or just our unwavering commitment to the open source community.

Mon, Oct 30th 2006 21:58
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
Software Development :: Testing
About: The AppsUnit toolkit assists with the testing of your Oracle
e-business suite code. It tests views, PL/SQL packages, concurrent
requests, and more. No software needs to be installed on the application
server. Results are made available as a PDF report.
Changes: The example test kit is available for download. The suite uses
some of the apps foundation views as an example. These views are unit
tested, and the results are available as HTML and PDF reports.

Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
About: In Balder2D, players control small probes that shoot tiny
projectiles with which they try to destroy each other. It features a 2D
overhead view of the playing field. Probes may be human or computer
controlled. A probe can perform the following actions: rotate, fire
projectiles, "stick" to a wall, and push off of a wall. Players may rotate
their probes while in flight, but the only way to change the direction or
speed of flight is by firing projectiles, which gives a small kick in the
opposite direction, or by running into walls or other probes.

directory abortion now happens from the right place. Mkisofs will now
correctly ignore deep directory nesting in no Rock Ridge mode with mkisofs
-find. mkisofs -find dir will now correctly deal with Rock Ridge deep
directory relocation. Symlinks now work in mkisofs -find mode too. Graft

Mon, Oct 30th 2006 14:26
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Security
Utilities
About: Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit for Unix. The main purpose
of this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment
scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded
daemon, a commandline scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via
Internet. The programs are based on a shared library distributed with the
Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use in your own software.
Changes: The 0.9x series introduces many improvements in terms of
detection rate and performance, like support for many new packers and
decryptors, RAR3 and SIS archives, and a new phishing signature format
that proves to be very effective. To cope with the increasing size of the
database and with the high frequency of new CVD releases, freshclam now
supports scripted updates. The new experimental code can be tested by
using "./configure --enable-experimental" at compile time. The email
decoding has been improved to reduce both the memory requirements and the
time taken to process attachments.

J300i.
Changes: This release handles cases where characters are not convertible
to the destination locale while listing files. cobex_put also handles
national characters properly. There was a bug where recursepath/setpath
did not fail on a Not Found, and files ended up in the last setPath that
was OK, or in the Inbox. This has been fixed.

[013] - DRBL 1.7.6-17 (Testing)
by Steven (http://freshmeat.net/users/stevenshiau/)
Mon, Oct 30th 2006 08:54
About: Diskless Remote Boot in Linux (DRBL) provides a diskless or
systemless environment for client machines. It works on Debian, Mandriva,
Red Hat, Fedora, and SuSE. Unlike LTSP, it uses distributed hardware
resources and makes it possible for clients to fully access local
hardware. It also includes Clonezilla, a partitioning and disk cloning
utility similar to Symantec Ghost.
Changes: A clonezilla image directory can now be assigned when running
drblpush (default is /home/partimag). The rsize and wsize were increased
to 65536 (from 8192) for NFS client parameters. If you want to change this
size to 8192, you can run "/opt/drbl/sbin/drbl-nfs-conf -s 8192". "add" and
"del" options were added for drbl-all-service, so now DRBL-related services
in the server can be added or deleted. If /opt/drbl/conf/client-local-fstab
exists, the fstab will be appended to all clients' /etc/fstab. Some minor
bugs were fixed.

if no images are passed on the command line. Paths have been changed such
that installation into /usr/local should work correctly.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Capture/Recording
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Conversion
System :: Filesystems
About: fdmsfs is a FUSE filesystem which can read fostex FDMS-3 volumes.
When mounted, the songs (programs) appear as directories and the tracks
appear as WAVE files within those directories. This allows songs to be
played or mixed-down directly off the disk (e.g. using Audacity).
Development was done using an FD-4 image, but it should work for the FD-8,
and probably other FDMS-3 devices (e.g. VF160).
Changes: This is the initial release of fdmsfs. It may not work with
devices other than the FD-4/8.

Mon, Oct 30th 2006 10:39
Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Libraries
Text Processing
About: GDC is a utility to calculate compressible flow (Gas Dynamics
Calculator). It provides calculations for isentropic nozzle, isothermal
nozzle, isothermal, Fanno, Rayleigh flow, etc. It also provide
calculations for shock and oblique shock by direct calculations (no
iteration, probably the only one that can do it). GDC also calculates
shock dynamics, i.e gas running into a different medium with different
speed. The result are in plain text, LaTeX, or a range of values.
Changes: The LaTeX output has been changed so that one source can produce
online and hard copies at the same time (via html.sty) to accommodate the
online version of the book (check gas dynamics tables produced by one
source). The long tables have been fixed for shock, P-M Function, etc. The
ability to calculate the shock based on shock velocity has been added. Some
parts of the compressible flow class have been cleaned up.

future behavior prediction or capacity planning, from the included
predictor tool, based on powerful statistical methods and artificial
neural networks.
Changes: In this release, an important bug in the
File/Modules/Manage/Loaded dialog box was fixed. The thresholds dialog box
opening and closing times were significantly improved. Usual minor

Text Editors
About: SubLib is a library for managing movie subtitles. It supports the
most common subtitle formats and allows for subtitle editing, conversion,
and synchronization.
Changes: Encoding auto-detection can now fall back to a specified encoding
when auto-detection fails. Auto-detection without a fallback still throws
an exception, which was renamed to UnknownEncodingException. Methods have
been added to search for extensions in SubtitleTypes.
Subtitles.AvailableTypes doesn't sort types; AvailableTypesSorted are now
used to achieve that. Open files are now guaranteed to be closed when
errors occur.

Mon, Oct 30th 2006 04:37
System :: Operating System
System :: Software Distribution
About: T2 is a system development environment. It provides a
self-contained distribution build kit based on sources with an up-to-date
tool and development toolchain (gcc, glibc, uclibc, dietlibc, X.org, KDE,
GNOME, etc.). Its basis is an automatic build system that makes it
possible to either update a running system or create a binary distribution
that can later be deployed via network or physical media. The system is
extremely versatile and makes it possible to create sets of programs for
different kinds of systems, from routers to desktops, including different
architectures and platforms.
Changes: This release includes fixes for the build environment where
relative filenames could potentially be resolved incorrectly and relative
paths hitting the filesystem root (/) could crash the sandbox file
tracker. The GRUB setup module was fixed so that it does not compute a
wrong BIOS device number for installation on non-primary hard disks. The
live CD creation scripts were fixed to involve fewer hardcoded presets.
Glitz was updated to allow building the kdrive xserver package. Over 100
other corrections have been incorporated. Linux was updated to 2.6.17.14
and KDE to 3.5.5.
