Subject: Dump/restore 0.4b16 released
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 14:46:30 GMT
Reply-To: Stelian Pop <pop@cybercable.fr>
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I made a new version of dump/restore, the linux ext2fs backup
utilities.
For the list of bug fixes and new features, see the ChangeLog
below.
Dump/restore utilities are available from:
http://dump.sourceforge.net
Best regards,
Stelian.
Changes between versions 0.4b15 and 0.4b16 (released March 11, 2000)
====================================================================
1. Fixed some several duplicate 'DUMP: DUMP:' in the
output of dump.
2. Corrected the estimation of blocks to dump. Note that
this is still wrong for large directory inodes, due
to the size of a BSD directory entry on the tape
(estimation is based on the size of the ext2 directory,
which is smaller because it doesn't contain the null
character at the end).
3. Made dump report the total number of MB written to
tape at the end of run. Thanks to W. Reilly Cooley
<wcooley@nakedape.cc> for the patch.
4. Added the -X option to restore giving the possibility
to read the names of the files to be extracted/listed
from a text file (in addition of the command line).
Thanks to Dejan Muhamedagic <dejan@quant-x.com> for the
patch.
5. Added the device name and the current volume number
as arguments to the end of tape script (dump -F option).
6. Made the multi-volume dump work again (after having
broken it in 0.4b15).

Subject: VMSCD, a Linux utility to read OpenVMS CD-ROMs
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 14:48:42 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
OVERVIEW
- --------
The vmscd utility reads the contents of any OpenVMS CD-ROM or more generally
any ODS-2 disk volume. Using vmscd, the user can navigate on the CD-ROM, list
the content of directories, extract files, view the content of OpenVMS text
files or convert them into UNIX text format.
TYPICAL USAGE
- -------------
You have a PC running Linux on your desk. You have OpenVMS CD-ROM's in your
drawers (Digital/Compaq distribution kits or on-line documentation for
instance). Your OpenVMS systems and their CD-ROM drives are in a remote
location or simply next floor but you are too lazy to get there.
There is some kind of network between your Linux PC and the OpenVMS
systems.
Then, vmscd is for you !
GETTING VMSCD
- -------------
Home page: http://perso.club-internet.fr/lelegard/vmscd/
Source files: http://perso.club-internet.fr/lelegard/vmscd/vmscd-1.0.tar.gz
Author: Thierry Lelegard <lelegard@club-internet.fr>
Although you can do everything from the source files, you may find
convenient to get the following files.
Binary RPM: http://perso.club-internet.fr/lelegard/vmscd/vmscd-1.0-1.i386.rpm
Source RPM: http://perso.club-internet.fr/lelegard/vmscd/vmscd-1.0-1.src.rpm
Man page (PDF): http://perso.club-internet.fr/lelegard/vmscd/vmscd.pdf
Man page (PostScript): http://perso.club-internet.fr/lelegard/vmscd/vmscd.ps
BUILDING AND INSTALLING VMSCD
- -----------------------------
If you got the binary rpm for vmscd, simply install it using:
rpm -U vmscd-1.0-1.i386.rpm
If you got the source files, use these instructions:
- - Unpack the source file: tar xvfz vmscd-1.0.tar.gz
- - Move to the source directory: cd vmscd-1.0
- - Build vmscd: make
- - Install vmscd (must be root): make install
If you want to rebuild vmscd from the sources, be aware that the current
version of vmscd can work on little-endian systems (Intel, Alpha) *only*.
Moreover, vmscd has currenlty been tested only on Intel systems running
RedHat Linux 6.1.
In case of problem and for bug report, send an e-mail to the author.
COPYRIGHT
- ---------
Copyright is held by the author. The vmscd utility is covered by the
"GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE" (GPL) and may be used and duplicated under
the terms of the GPL.

Subject: Linux Counter Internationalization Project
Date: Wed, 15 Mar 2000 14:32:58 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The Linux Counter Board of Directors has approved a new project: the Linux
Counter Internationalization Project - making the pages available to users
in their native language automatically. This will make the Linux Counter
accessible to hundreds of millions of people who are not fluent in English.
This will increase the number of people and machines registered, and also
reduce the number of errors in the data entered. Henry White has
volunteered to coordinate the project.
Initially, we will make translations of index.php3, enter-person.html,
machine-form.html, and this announcement. We will store these 4 pages in a
directory on the server, with proper extensions. Apache will do the rest
automatically when the user accesses the main URL
http://counter.li.org/
This amounts to roughly 2000 words which will probably take an hour or two
to translate. Obviously, the more volunteers, the lighter the load for
everyone and the quicker we will have this convenience for your fellow
countrymen. Once this initial phase is completed, we will begin work on
the other pages. Eventually, everything will be translated into as many
languages as possible.
You can see for the multilanguage version at
http://counter.li.org/i18n/index.php3
If you are interested, you are welcome to join the new mailing list
translate@counter.li.org To subscribe send to
translate-request@counter.li.org
and in the body of the message
subscribe <youraddress>

I didn't have the time to include all recent topics discussed in
the Linux-IrDA list and couldn't follow all changes in the
development. But I hope it's useful anyway. As usual I'm
open to your additions, suggestions, criticisms.
Cheers
