official changelist:
* update screensaver key faking code to avoid false triggering of the
"sticky keys" feature on newer distros
* fix crashes caused by tooltips
* fix reporting of dropped frames
* experimental feature: output video to a different display than control panel.
set gui.video_display to the second display name, usually ":0.1" or ":1",
* removed -funroll-all-loops from SPARC and PPC targets.
* fix xitk trying set a window property when its atom may be undefined
* add --disable-shm-default configure option which sets feature.shm to zero
but keeps the shm code compiled in
unfortunately new bugs in timer handling and mutex locking were
introduced...
family of C++ bindings for gnome libraries
(the ...20 suffix is because the pkg installs into 2.0 paths and
describes itself as 2.0 to pkgconfig)
fortunately, these families can coexist
Change list from release notes:
* Synchronized bundled GD library with GD 2.0.23.
* Fixed a bug that prevented compilation of GD extensions against
FreeType 2.1.0-2.1.2.
* Fixed thread safety issue with informix connection id.
* Fixed incorrect resolving of relative paths by glob() in windows.
* Fixed mapping of Greek letters to html entities.
* Fixed a bug that caused an on shutdown crash when using PHP with Apache
2.0.49.
* Fixed a number of crashes inside pgsql, cpdf and gd extensions.
All in all this release fixes over 30 bugs that have been discovered
and resolved since the 4.3.6 release.
was based a long time ago on the OpenBSD port, but the only thing that
remains form that is one of the patches, and I'm not sure that's necessary
any more.
Firewall Builder is multi-platform firewall configuration and
management tool. It consists of a GUI and set of policy compilers for
various firewall platforms. Firewall Builder uses object-oriented
approach, it helps administrator maintain a database of network
objects and allows policy editing using simple drag-and-drop
operations. Firewall Builder currently supports
iptables,
ipfilter,
OpenBSD PF, and
Cisco PIX
libfwbuilder provides the back-end functionality in a library.

RFSTOOL - ReiserFS for Windows - allows you to access ReiserFS
partitions from a Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP system. Starting with
version 0.6, it even allows you to access ReiserFS partitions from
Linux ;). It is a complete rewrite of the ReiserFS functions needed
to list directories or access files. Requirements
+ This tool was developed on NT/2000. The current version has
support for Windows NT, 2000, XP, as well as the 16-bit products
Windows 95, 98 and ME.
+ For NT/2000/XP: You need administrative privileges to run this
program. Normal users will probably not have the access rights
to the raw partition data.
+ You need to know the drive and partition index of the ReiserFS
partition you want to read. Luckily, the new version includes
an autodetect feature
+ Access is read-only. I do not intend to change that, at least
for the time being.
+ Journal data is ignored. These tools show the file structure as
it is ON DISK, right now.

fsv (pronounced eff-ess-vee) is a file system visualizer in cyberspace.
It lays out files and directories in three dimensions, geometrically
representing the file system hierarchy to allow visual overview and
analysis. fsv can visualize a modest home directory, a workstation's
hard drive, or any arbitrarily large collection of files, limited only
by the host computer's memory and graphics hardware.
So you thought you had your files backed up onto that jaz cartridge -
until it came time to restore. Then you found out that you had bad
sectors and you've lost almost everything because gzip craps out 10%
of the way through your archive. The gzip Recovery Toolkit has a program
- gzrecover - that attempts to skip over bad data in a gzip archive and
to GNU tar that enables that program to skip over bad data and extract
whatever files might be there.
