Subject: ImageMagick 5.1.1 - tools and libraries for image manipulation
Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 19:48:51 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The ImageMagick Studio development group is proud to announce the
release of ImageMagick 5.1.1. Version 5.1.1 is a tuning and bug-fix
release which serves to eliminate imperfections discovered in version
5.1.0. Version 5.1.0 was a complete re-write of ImageMagick, which
introduced the ability to efficiently process huge images through use of
an image pixel cache. Version 5.1.1 is completely API compatable with
5.1.0. Barring an additional bug-fix release, the next release will be
5.2, initially available in June 2000.
ImageMagick is a robust collection of tools and libraries to read,
write, and manipulate an image in many image formats (over 68 major
formats) including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, Photo CD,
and GIF. With ImageMagick you can create images dynamically, making it
suitable for Web applications. You can also resize, rotate, sharpen,
color reduce, or add special effects to an image and save your completed
work in the same or differing image format. Image processing operations
are available from the command line, as well as through C, C++, and
PERL-based programming interfaces.
ImageMagick is copyrighted by ImageMagick Studio, a nonprofit
organization. ImageMagick is available for free, may be used to support
both open and proprietary applications, and may be redistributed without
fee.
The ImageMagick WWW page is
http://www.ImageMagick.org/
ImageMagick 5.1.1 is available via ftp as
ftp://ftp.wizards.dupont.com/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-5.1.1.tar.gz
Other versions are available as
ftp://ftp.wizards.dupont.com/pub/ImageMagick/linux/
ftp://ftp.wizards.dupont.com/pub/ImageMagick/nt/
ftp://ftp.wizards.dupont.com/pub/ImageMagick/mac/
ftp://ftp.wizards.dupont.com/pub/ImageMagick/vms/
If ftp.wizards.dupont.com is overloaded, try
ftp://ftp.simplesystems.org/pub/ImageMagick/, or check the list of
mirrors at http://www.imagemagick.org/www/archives.html for other
mirrors.
Enhancements Over Previous Release:
o ImageMagick has a new logo (contributed by Ofer Tenenbaum).
o Requests for all or part of a pixel row, or multiple complete pixel
rows, are mapped directly to the underlying image in memory, or
memory mapped from a disk file, avoiding performance-robbing pixel
copying. Requested rectangular regions which are narrower than the
image width must still be copied to a scratch space.
o Performance tuning under Unix and Windows NT.
o Support for WBMP, Wireless Bitmap (level 0) images (contributed by
Milan Votava)
Related changes:
o Magick++ 0.9.2 (C++ API to ImageMagick) is co-packaged.
- Now believed to be thread safe when used with POSIX threads.
- New methods are added in order to access the raw image pixels.
ImageMagick is developed by the members of the ImageMagick Studio
team:
John Cristy - Principal designer and author
Bob Friesenhahn - Magick++, config, CVS, test suite, bug-tracking
William Radcliffe - VisualMagick, FlashPix, TIFF, timers, watermarking
Glenn Randers-Pehrson - PNG, MNG, and test script improvements
as well as many individual contributors, some of whom made major
contributions to ImageMagick but shall remain nameless anyway.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Version 1.03 of the LTSP core package is now available for download
from the ltsp download site: http://www.ltsp.org/download and
from ftp.ltsp.org.
Changes to LTS from version 1.02 to 1.03
o Fixed problem with permissions on rc.local. Version 1.02
was setting the permissions to NOT include executable.
Leaving the workstation unable to boot.
o Correctly removed the requirement of bootp. It was documented
in the previous release that bootp was no longer required, but
the rpm was still requiring it.
==================================================================
The "Linux Terminal Server Project"
Linux makes a great platform for deploying diskless workstations
that boot from a network server. We have started an open source
project to create the administration tools that will make setting
up a diskless workstation easier.

Subject: Scwm - Scheme Constraints Window Manager
Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 19:53:30 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Scwm 0.99.6.1 is released.
(a bug-fix release over 0.99.6)
* What Scwm is:
Scwm is the Scheme Constraints Window Manager, a highly dynamic and
extensible window manager for the X Window System. Scwm embeds Guile
Scheme as the configuration and extension language, and includes a
sophisticated constraint solver for permitting the user to interactively
specify constraints among top-level window sizes and positions. Nearly
all decorations can be changed at run-time on a per-window basis.
Dynamic loading of C modules is supported. Scwm is self-documenting and
provides A powerful protocol for interacting with the window manager
from other processes.
* Primary Authors:
Greg J. Badros <gjb@cs.washington.edu>
Maciej Stachowiak <mstachow@alum.mit.edu>
Other substantial contributors include:
Robert Bihlmeyer <robbe@orcus.priv.at>,
Todd Larason <jtl@molehill.org>,
Jeff Nichols <jwnichls@cs.washington.edu>, and
Sam Steingold <sds@goems.com>.
Many more people have contributed bug reports, bug fixes, or smaller
changes; see AUTHORS and THANKS in the distribution.
* Where you can find more info:
Some information about scwm is available at:
http://scwm.mit.edu
There are also scwm-discuss@scwm.mit.edu and
scwm-announce@scwm.mit.edu mailing lists for disscussion and
release announcements repsectively. The new list
scwm-commits@scwm.mit.edu receives all scwm CVS commit messages.
You can subscribe to any of these at majordomo@scwm.mit.edu by
sending a message with a body of "subscribe <list>" where <list> is
the name of the list you want.
* Where you can get it:
You can download the latest scwm source package from:
ftp://scwm.mit.edu/pub/scwm/scwm-0.99.6.1.tar.gz
There is also
ftp://scwm.mit.edu/pub/scwm/scwm-icons-0.99.6.1.tar.gz
which has a number of images for use with scwm as icons, textures,
buttons, etc. Some of these images are not available otherwise.
You will also need to download and install the guile library. You can
get the latest release from:
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/guile
or any archive that has GNU source packages available. Guile 1.3.4 is
recommended because all testing by the developers is done against
that version, the latest stable release of Guile. Guile 1.2 is no longer
supported, but Guile-1.3 may still work with only minimal loss of
functionality (Guile-1.3.2 was buggy and should be avoided).
* Packages
Various binary RPMs are available at (see below for RH6 install instructions):
ftp://scwm.mit.edu/pub/scwm/RPMS
Various source RPMs are available at:
ftp://scwm.mit.edu/pub/scwm/SRPMS
and the scwm-icons distribution is available at:
ftp://scwm.mit.edu/pub/scwm/RPMS/noarch
See the NEWS file in the distribution for a complete list
of all that has changed since the previous version of Scwm.
RedHat6 Installation Notes:
INSTALLING BINARY RPMS
(e.g., these lines are for binary x86 RPMs -- Alpha RPMS are no longer up to date)
rpm -Uvh --nodeps guile-1.3.4-1gjb.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh guile-devel-1.3.4-1gjb.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh guile-gtk-0.17-1.i386.rpm GTL-0.3.1-2.i386.rpm cassowary-0.55-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh scwm-icons-0.99.2-3.noarch.rpm # from the RPMS/noarch subdir of the FTP site
rpm -ivh scwm-0.99.6.1-1.i386.rpm
or just grab the right files from above into an empty directory and do:
rpm -Uvh --nodeps *.rpm
This should work with RedHat6 and RedHat6.1.
If you have problems, please email scwm-discuss@scwm.mit.edu.
Thanks!

CMU Sphinx is being released as open source under a BSD-style.
Sphinx2 is the first component to be released; it is a library
(libsphinx2) and a small set of examples that use it. The

robots around -- "GO FORWARD TEN METERS," "ROTATE RIGHT FORTY
FIVE DEGREES," etc.
You can build your own language models using a web-based tool
or the CMU-Cambridge SLM; please see our home page for details.
http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/sphinx/
and the download and source (under CVS) is at
http://sourceforge.net/project/?group_id=1904
This is pre-release, not yet version 1.0, but it does run on
i386_linux. The documentation is very sparse for now, but
that is a priority.

GURU LABS COMPLETES NEW CURRICULUM FOR NETWORK SERVICES CLASS
Meeting the high demand for intensive hands-on Linux training, Guru Labs
will commence classes with new coursework designed for a network
administrator or serious power user. It will deliver an in-depth
understanding of several of the most essential network services. Theory and
concepts of operation for each protocol are discussed, but focus is given to
configuration.
"Our goal is to meet the training needs of everyone. The Linux movement is
exploding and the possibilities for curriculum development are virtually
limitless. This particular course offers several 'hands-on' labs for each
network service. We also built each section of the course with a
troubleshooting module," said Dax Kelson, Co-founder and President.
Guru Labs also offers classes in Fundamentals, which is a comprehensive
introduction to Linux/Unix systems, and Guru classes in E-Commerce, Windows
NT/Linux Integration, and Security.
Courses begin in January of 2000. Course descriptions, syllabi, and class
dates are detailed on their web-site at www.gurulabs.com

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The next meeting of the (FREE!) UUASC-LA UNIX users group is
Thursday Feb 3rd.
We meet every first thursday of the month, near Los Angeles, California.
Topic of this meeting: Programming in korn shell (ksh)
If you have any desire to do "shell scripting", or if you already do
some shellscripting and want to learn more stuff, please come to this meeting.
It will cover some standard features of all sh-derived shells, and
some ksh-specifics, like the '$(( ))' built-in math functions.
Note that the POSIX-compliant 'sh', basically IS ksh. So if you want to do
"POSIX-compliant shellscripting", you need to use this.
This is not a wimpy "here is how to use grep" course. This is an
intensive 2 hour presentation taking you from "Why use korn shell?"
to
"Here's how to built a multi-level real-time multi-system monitoring tool"
The location is Merisel Inc., 200 Continental Blvd, El Segundo CA 90245.
For full details, maps, etc, you can go to
http://www.bolthole.com/uuala/
I am putting together the presented material on-line, at
http://www.bolthole.com/solaris/ksh.html
Despite the URL name, all materials should work on ANY POSIX sh
implementation.

Subject: PACT 2.0 - SNMP port accounting package
Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 19:51:01 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
PACT - "Port Accounting and Collection Tool" - is a software package to
do complete port accounting for SNMP-manageable devices like routers,
hubs, and switches. Administration is done using an HTML interface with
dynamic data fed through PHP and MySQL database backend.
This is the second public release, fixing a bug that kept the old
version from collecting any data from single-character-ports (as on
Cisco 19xx/29xx). Also, the accounting query pages/routines have finally
been finished, plus a lot of code-cleanup and localization.

Hello,
This message is meant to announce the final release of the Year 2000 apcupsd:
apcupsd-3.7.0
Apcupsd is a daemon for monitoring APC UPSes. It is able to detect power
failures and shutdown the computer if the UPS power is getting too low.
It is able to shutdown multiple networked computers powered by a single
UPS with the monitoring UPS informing the others via the network.

- - Bugs
We belive that this package has no dangerous bugs but there may still be some
little problems that you can help us find.
If you find bugs please report them as follow:
send an e-mail to one of the developers
or
send an e-mail to apcupsd-devel@ro.com (Developers mailing list)
or
go to the Apcupsd Support Center http://www.brisse.dk/site/apcupsd/
and leave a message (at this time should be the last resort because Brian
is moving and doesn't have time to manage incoming e-mail).
- - Warnings
These are Kern Sibbald's suggestions for installation in networked
environments.
1. It is important that anyone running the master/slave
network code upgrade to 3.7.0.
2. The new master/slave network protocol is incompatible with
previous versions so all masters and slaves must be updated
simultaneously.
3. We recommend that you remove any modifications that apcupsd
makes to your halt script on each of the slaves. However, on the
master, it is important to keep the changes to the halt script,
namely the call to apcupsd -killpower.
4. Please read the configuration section of the manual
(doc/manual/configure.html) as the interpretation of
TIMEOUT, BATTERYLEVEL, and MINUTES on the slaves
is different from previous versions.
Ciao,
Riccardo.
