Rakudo Perl 6, or simply Rakudo, is a compiler for the Perl 6 programming
language. It runs on the Parrot virtual machine.
The Rakudo Star distribution (fondly called Rakudo *) is the Rakudo
compiler plus a selection of useful Perl 6 modules, the most recent
incarnation of the "Using Perl 6" book, and other software that can
be used with the Rakudo compiler to enhance its utility. Rakudo Star
is meant for early adopters who wish to explore what's possible with
Rakudo Perl 6 and provide feedback on what works, what doesn't, and
what else they would like to see included in the distribution.
This Apache LDAP authentication/authorization module tries to solve
the following problems that other such modules may not solve in all cases:
* Map the short form of the distinguished name of a certificate and its
issuer obtained from the environment of mod_ssl to a user distinguished
name in an LDAP directory.
* Check the age of a password in an LDAP directory, denying authorization
in case the password is to old.
* Authorize a user based on roles or an arbitrary LDAP filter expression.
* Authorize a user based on whether he owns a file or belongs to the group
owning a file.
* Improving the File Abstraction Layer
* UI Improvements for the Extension Manager
* Use for PHP mysqli instead of "mysql" module
* Further Changes:
- Removed extension statictemplates
- Improved TCA load mechanism
- Install Tool: Environment Checks
- Extbase: The rewritten property mapper is now the default mapper
- Fluid: Allow Fluid arrays only in ViewHelper arguments
- Extbase: Object persistence behaviour changed from implicit to explicit
save
mod_xsendfile is a small Apache2 module that processes X-SENDFILE headers
registered by the original output handler.
If it encounters the presence of such header it will discard all output
and send the file specified by that header instead using Apache internals
including all optimizations like caching-headers and sendfile or mmap if
configured.
This is "Not Quite Perl" -- a lightweight Perl 6-like environment for
virtual machines. The key feature of NQP is that it's designed to be a
very small environment (as compared with, say, perl6 or Rakudo) and
is focused on being a high-level way to create compilers and libraries
for virtual machines (such as the Parrot Virtual Machine [1] and the JVM).
Unlike a full-fledged implementation of Perl 6, NQP strives to have as
small a runtime footprint as it can, while still providing a Perl 6 object
model and regular expression engine for the virtual machine.
pkgsrc changes:
* Make installer work.
* Add various dependency to PHP extensions.
