Mon, Jul 28th 2008 17:21
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development :: Code Generators
About: CodeWorker is a versatile parsing tool and a universal source code
generator. It interprets a scripting language for producing reusable,
tailor-made, evolving, and reliable IT systems with a high level of
automation. The file formats to parse are described in an extended-BNF
syntax. Template-based scripts drive the writing of patterns for generating
code or text. The code generation knows how to preserve protected areas
with hand-typed code and provides code expansion, source-to-source
translation, and program transformation. It provides a native translation
of CodeWorker's scripts in C++.
Changes: Serialization/unmarshaling of a parse tree is now possible via a
readable text format; see saveProject()/loadProject(). Debug sessions
display the location (line/col) in the currently parsed file after each
progression step in the controlling sequence of a parse script. A bug has
been fixed in how customized syntax error messages are raised.

About: collectd is a small and modular daemon which collects system
information periodically and provides means to store the values. Included
in the distribution are numerous plug-ins for collecting CPU, disk, and
memory usage, network interface and DNS traffic, network latency, database
statistics, and much more. Custom statistics can easily be added in a
number of ways, including execution of arbitrary programs and plug-ins
written in Perl. Advanced features include a powerful network code to
collect statistics for entire setups and SNMP integration to query network
equipment.
Changes: The build system has been changed to try harder to determine the
endianness of the target architecture and to use pkg-config to look for the
upsclient library, needed by the NUT plugin. An issue in the network plugin
under Solaris has been addressed. The disk plugin has been fixed to work
with Linux 2.4. An incompatibility between older versions of BIND and the
DNS plugin has been resolved. All occurrences of "unsafe" functions have
been replaced.

[064] - sshguard 1.1
by Mij (http://freshmeat.net/users/mijio/)
Mon, Jul 28th 2008 15:51
Security
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: Sshguard monitors services through their logging activity. It
reacts to messages about dangerous activity by blocking the source address
with the local firewall. Sshguard employs a clever parser that can
transparently recognize several logging formats at once (syslog, syslog-ng,
metalog, multilog, raw messages), and detects attacks for many services out
of the box, including SSH, several ftpds, and dovecot. It can operate all
the major firewalling systems, and features support for IPv6, whitelisting,
suspension, and log message authentication.
Changes: This version adds support for log message authentication,
suspension, new blocking backends (for IPFILTER and AIX' firewall), the new
logging format metalog, and a live debug mode (-d) for helping users in
problem solving. It fixes a parser bug when recognizing certain IPv6
addresses and a segfault when the pipe to sshguard is closed unexpectedly.
The "hosts" backend no longer discards temporary files. Monitoring for new
services was added out-of-the-box: dovecot IMAP, UWimap IMAP and POP,
FreeBSD's ftpd, Proftpd, and pure-ftpd.

[066] - strongSwan 4.2.5
by Andreas Steffen (http://freshmeat.net/users/asteffen/)
Mon, Jul 28th 2008 04:18
Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking
About: strongSwan is a complete IPsec and IKEv1 implementation for Linux
2.4 and 2.6 kernels. It also fully supports the new IKEv2 protocol with
Linux 2.6 kernels. It interoperates in both IKEv1 and IKEv2 mode with most
other IPsec-based VPN products. The focus of the strongSwan project is on
strong authentication mechanisms using X.509 public key certificates and
optional secure storage of private keys on smartcards through a
standardized PKCS#11 interface. A unique feature is the use of X.509
attribute certificates to implement advanced access control schemes based
on group memberships.
Changes: The performance of the SQL-based virtual IP address pool has been
improved. There is consistent logging of IKE SAs on the audit level. There
are a couple of minor bugfixes.

[067] - transtoba2 0.20
by Leander Seige (http://freshmeat.net/users/maxleo/)
Mon, Jul 28th 2008 15:48
Text Processing :: Linguistic
About: transtoba2 facilitates the transliteration or transcription of a
word or text from the Roman script into the Toba Batak script.
Transliterating from the Roman into the Batak script is not an easy
undertaking, as the Batak script has a number of peculiarities that
complicates the process of transliteration. This program uses a set of
algorithms which enables the user to effortlessly transliterate from the
Roman to the Toba Batak script.
Changes: A simple caching mechanism was added in order to speed up the
transliteration of longer text and to improve the response time while
typing in. The progress bar was beautified once again.

[069] - Urpkg 1.6
by Sebastien Vasey (http://freshmeat.net/users/svasey/)
Mon, Jul 28th 2008 00:01
System :: Installation/Setup
System :: Systems Administration
Utilities
About: Urpkg is software to install programs in a safe and undoable way.
It is able to see what files any given installation command creates, and
list and remove them. You are able to restrict the installation command so
that it only writes where you allow it to, and does not overwrite files
from other packages. Urpkg is especially useful if you want to install
programs from source, or create binary packages in an automated way. Under
the hood, urpkg creates a user for each package it has to install, which
prevents the installation command from run with root privileges. It can be
seen as a "command tracer" that remembers what files a command created and
prevents it from doing forbidden things. It is written in C but relies on
some external commands, like GNU Find.
Changes: This release works on Slackware systems. A larger package name
length is now possible. Several other bugs were fixed.

Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
About: Word War vi is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up '80s style arcade
game. You pilot your "vi"per craft through core memory, rescuing lost .swp
files, avoiding OS defenses, and wiping out those memory hogging emacs
processes. When all the lost .swp files are rescued, head for the socket
which will take you to the next node in the cluster.
Changes: Now the starfield in the background (optionally) moves. The code
which draws laser beams was improved. Bullets fired by cron jobs (green
robots) throw off sparks now.

use the facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it is
resized.
Changes: This release improves/extends select-character-set control
sequences to handle ISO Latin-1 with/without UTF-8 encoding. There are
several minor bugfixes.
