[001] - Amahi Linux Home Server 8.16
by cpg (http://freshmeat.net/users/cpg/)
Fri, Jul 25th 2008 17:33
Information Management
Software Development :: Libraries :: Ruby Modules
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions
About: The Amahi Home Server is a Linux Home Server based on Fedora (and
later on Ubuntu). Your machine becomes a "Home Digital Assistant" or HDA
after the installation. Each HDA is a Fedora-based server targeted for home
and home office environments. It provides an iTunes server, calendaring, a
wiki, shared network storage, network backups, a printer server, VPN, and a
plug-in architecture built on Ruby on Rails.
Changes: A much improved version of the installer (hda-install) is
included. The Amahi HDA daemon, with a brand new dynamic DNS system, is
included.

[002] - apparix 08-206
by Stijn van Dongen (http://freshmeat.net/users/micans/)
Fri, Jul 25th 2008 10:51
System :: Shells
About: Apparix allows one to bookmark directories and later jump to them
using the mark. By default, it acts as a replacement for cd and can be used
in the same manner, including the special behaviour for cd without argument
and "cd -". It is possible to directly jump to subdirectories of a
bookmarked directory. The contributed bash completion code facilitates
completion both on bookmarks and directories, but can be adjusted to
accommodate other preferences.
Changes: Apparix now acts by default as a drop-in replacement for cd and
can be used in the same manner, including the special behavior for cd
without argument and "cd -". Bookmarks, subdirectories of the bookmark, and
directories specified in the regular way can all be navigated and completed
transparently. This merging of cd with bookmarks can be customized to a
large extent.

[007] - deco archive file extractor 1.2
by P. Hartlich (http://freshmeat.net/users/phartlich/)
Fri, Jul 25th 2008 14:45
System :: Archiving
About: deco is a generic archive file extractor that has a consistent
command line interface ("deco 1.tar.bz2 2.zip 3.flac 4.rar 5.deb" will just
work) and consistent behavior (it never deletes archives after extraction,
extracts relative to the current working directory, and extracts just
verbosely enough, all unless explicitly requested otherwise). It provides
automatic handling of extractor gotchas by creating an extraction directory
if there is more than one file or directory at the archive top level and by
being able to fix strange permissions. Dozens of archive file extensions
are supported out of the box, and adding support for others requires very
little work.
Changes: This release adds support for alz and lzo archives. The core code
has been cleaned.

learning algorithms, XML and general text parsing, and many other general
utilities.
Changes: The support vector classification and training tools have been
changed to use a simpler and more powerful interface. This release also
adds tools for training radial basis function networks, performing feature

compressed files, archives, and files contained in archives. Viewing files
by accessing a device file is implemented to some extent (DOS filesystems
and tar files). It supports many formats (both as plain and compressed
files using compress, gzip, bzip2, or zip). Syntax highlighting for many
languages is available through a helper script, "code2color".
Changes: lesspipe now displays human-readable information for even more
file types. Support for viewing gpg encrypted files and binary plist files
(MacOS X) has been included. For HTML display, the program links is now
preferred over lynx, and mp3 file information can be viewed using id3v2.
The configure script now correctly works with the most recent file command.

at positions that keep A/V sync as good as possible (maximum sync
difference is around 10-15 milliseconds compared to the source).
Changes: This release adds an audio visualizer around the current position
in m2vcut-gui, to find (silent) spots for cutpoint, testing speedups. and
usage tunes.

Software Development :: Libraries
About: MUSCLE (Multi User Server Client Linking Environment) is an N-way
messaging server and networking API. It includes client-side networking
APIs for various languages, including C, C++, C#, Delphi, Java, and Python.

wildcarding, and "live" updates via a subscription mechanism.
Changes: PrintStackTrace() was implemented for Mac OS X Leopard. The
Hashtable Clear() method was imporved to be re-entrant. Various other minor
tweaks were made.

Fri, Jul 25th 2008 14:26
Utilities
About: ns4 is a configuration management tool which allows the automated
backup of just about anything, but it was designed for routers and
switches. If you are able to log into it through a CLI, you can back it up.
Commands are defined within a configuration file, and when they are
executed, the output is sent to a series of FTP servers for archiving. As
well as archiving configurations, it allows scripts to be run on nodes;
this allows configurations to be applied en masse and allows conditional
logic so different bits of scripts are run on different nodes.
Changes: This release fixes a couple of regression bugs regarding
processing of special variables with brackets. It also adds support for
proxy implied tags as well as base64 support for encoded passwords.

[044] - uxdstools 0.5.2
by Michael Brown (http://freshmeat.net/users/tipt0e/)
Fri, Jul 25th 2008 09:29
System :: Networking :: LDAP
About: uxdstools is a set of Unix directory service tools. It is a suite
of command tools to administer POSIX user and group accounts in an LDAP
directory. It is similar in spirit to the useradd/mod/del tools found on
Linux and Solaris, the pw tools on BSD, the mk|ch|rmuser/group tools on
AIX, etc. However, instead of manipulating local accounts, uxdstools
manages POSIX-type accounts that can be found in LDAP directory services
installations, namely those with posixAccount and posixGroup attributes.
Changes: The format of strlen calls was changed to "unsigned long" to
silence compiler warnings (in gcc versions later than 4.3.0).

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
About: There are many photo-gallery programs available. Zoph is different,
as it concentrates on the management of large collection of photos instead

in multiple albums and categories. Additional features include search,
slideshows, lightboxes, email, access privileges, and multiple languages.

new features in Zoph 0.8. It fixes bugs from 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 and it
includes the bugfixes from 0.7.0.5, including the security fix. New
features include mapping support, which shows the locations of your photos
or places on a map, using the Mapstraction API. You can store timezones in
Zoph and make automatic calculations between the different timezones. This
is an unstable release. Users of 0.7.1, 0.7.2, or 0.7.2.1 should upgrade to
0.7.3 because of the security fix.
