Subject: autoproject 0.10
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 23:00:35 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
I'm releasing a new version of autoproject.
autoproject now supports argp, the command line parser in the GNU C
Library. (Thanks to Kalle Olavi Niemitalo <kon@iki.fi>)
Generated projects that use an internal parser now include getopt_long
in the sources, so the projects build even without the GNU C Library.
(Thanks to Matthew Whitworth <matthew@okcomputer.org>)
Here are the recent entries in the changelog:
2000-12-10 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com>
* configure.in: version 0.10. argp support, courtesy of Kalle
Olavi Niemitalo <kon@iki.fi>:
* README: Document argp support.
* autoproject.1: Ditto, and fixed autogen -> autoproject.
* autoproject.in <STDPARSERS>: Added argp.
<optionsub>: Anchor ends of regexps too.
* lib/cli/all/argp/program.1: New file, adapted from
lib/cli/all/none/program.1. Added equal signs between long
options and their parameters. In lists of equivalent options,
print the commas and spaces in Roman font. Describe --usage.
* lib/cli/all/argp/program.texinfo: New file, adapted from
lib/cli/all/none/program.texinfo. Changed every @code{#NAME#} to
@command{#NAME#}.
(Sample): Copied the --help example from the real output and
conditionalized it to show only selected options.
(Invoking #NAME#) <--output, --directory, --cd>: Added equal signs
between long options and their parameters. Use @var for
parameters.
<--silent>: Use @itemx, not @item.
<--verbose>: This is -v, not -V.
<--version>: This is -V, not -v.
<--help>: This is -?, not -h.
<--usage>: New option.
(Problems): Use @email.
* lib/cli/c/argp/Makefile.am: New file, copied from
lib/cli/c/none/Makefile.am.
* lib/cli/c/argp/configure.in: New file, copied from
lib/cli/c/none/configure.in. Fail if argp.h is not found.
* lib/cli/c/argp/program.c: New file, adapted from
lib/cli/c/none/program.c.
* lib/cli/c/argp/xmalloc.c: New file, copied from
lib/cli/c/none/xmalloc.c.
* TODO: argp support is ready, so added some more tasks :-)
* autoproject: -L argument may use relative path.
* lib/cli/c/none/getopt.c: include getopt.c, getopt1.c, getopt.h
in project code unless an external parser is used (in case build
machine does not use the GNU C Library). (Fix courtesy of Matthew
Whitworth <matthew@okcomputer.org>)
2000-11-03 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com>
* README: update autoopts pointers.
2000-10-11 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com>
* configure.in: version 0.9.2
* README: autoproject output files may be used without restriction.
2000-09-30 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com>
* configure.in: version 0.9.1
* lib/cli/c/none/program.c (decode_switches): generate code for
--verbose (thanks to "Chris F.A. Johnson" <c.f.a.johnson@home.com>).
Use an enum instead of magic numbers for getopt_long return codes.
2000-09-20 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com>
* configure.in: version 0.9
* lib/cli/all/none/program.texinfo, lib/cli/all/none/program.1:
the long option --version corresponds to short option -V rather
than -v, and long option --verbose corresponds to short option -v
(thanks to Ulrik Haugen <qha@lysator.liu.se>)
* lib/cli/c/none/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): `#NAME' should be
`#NAME#' (thanks to Ulrik Haugen <qha@lysator.liu.se>)
2000-07-27 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com>
* autoproject.in (STDPARSERS): -L requires an argument when using
getopts.
2000-07-25 James R. Van Zandt <jrv@vanzandt.mv.com>
* autoproject.1: document use of GNU getopt.
* autoproject.in: help text is now a here document instead of a
collection of echo statements.
If GNU getopt is not detected, use getopts instead.
autoproject may be downloaded from here:
http://www.mv.com/ipusers/vanzandt/
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel
from README:
autoproject - create a skeleton source package for a new program
autoproject interviews the user, then creates a source package for a
new program which follows the GNU programming standards. The new
package uses autoconf to configure itself, and automake to create the
Makefile. `make distcheck' succeeds.
The idea is that you execute autoproject just once when you start a
new project. It will ask a few questions, then create a new directory
and populate it with standard files, customized for the new project.
The version number for the new program is initialized as 0.1.0, and is
set in configure.in. It is available in C programs as the macro
VERSION, and in the Makefile as $(VERSION).
Optionally, the new package will use an external command line parser
or a parser generator. Currently, autoproject supports:
argp by Miles Bader, included in GNU C Library 2.1
clig by Harald Kirsch <kir@iitb.fhg.de>
(see http://wsd.iitb.fhg.de/~kir/clighome/)
autogen by Bruce Korb <bkorb@gnu.org>
(see http://AutoGen.SourceForge.net/autoopts/)
I would like to support graphical user interface (GUI) as well as
command line interface (CLI) programs, but I have very little
experience with them. Contributions would be welcome.

[Please repost and forward this article widely, wherever it
is appropriate.]
Issue #22 of Georg's Brave GNU World,
the monthly GNU forum has been released.
-- Georg Greve
Hi !
Issue #22 of the column is now online and it can - as usual - be found
on the GNU Webpage and its mirrors. Otherwise just follow the links at
the end of this posting.
Georg's Brave GNU World is a monthly column which is being released
simultaneously in five languages (English, German, French, Japanese
and Spanish) on the web and printed in the German "Linux-Magazin" as
well as the "Linux Magazine" U.K. and the "Linux Magazine France."
This makes it the monthly column with the widest distribution
worldwide (afaik).
If you would like to receive mail about new issues directly, you can
subscribe to the "Brave GNU World" announcement mailinglist. Just
send mail to <brave-gnu-world-request@gnu.org> with "subscribe" in
the *body*. The mailinglist is only for announcements that are related
to the "Brave GNU World" and is of very low volume (between 1 and 2
mails a month).
The 22nd issue covers the following topics:
* CGIBurn ( comfortable CD-writing in a multi-user
environment )
* Multiple ( finding & deleting duplicate files )
* diff2html & dv ( nicer diff usage )
* GNU GRUB ( the king of boot loaders )
* Free Software Foundation Europe
( building a stronghold for Free Software in
Europe )
* GNU Business Network ( interfacing the GNU Project and businesses )
This column intends to provide a forum for all GNU maintainers,
friends and associates and I am always open to suggestions. So if
you
* have questions about the GNU Project that might be of general
interest
* have a GNU Project and would like to improve its profile
* would like to start a GNU Project you are looking for people to
start it with
* think something doesn't get the publicity it deserves
* would like to see something made public
send mail to:
"Brave GNU World <column@gnu.org>"
This column is for everyone with an interest in Free Software,
so donīt hesitate to contact me if your project is under the
GPL/LGPL and youīd like to see it introduced here.
The 22th issue can be found at

Subject: rp-pppoe 2.5 -- Robust PPPoE client for Linux, NetBSD, Solaris and Mac
Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 23:01:09 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Version 2.5 of rp-pppoe has been released. Users of earlier versions
are strongly recommended to upgrade; see the CHANGES section. This
release fixes a denial-of-service vulnerability in earlier versions, and
tightens the security of the adsl-setup script.
rp-pppoe is a user-mode client and server for the Point-to-Point
Protocol over Ethernet, a protocol used by many ADSL service providers.
It runs on standard Linux kernels (2.0 or 2.2; no kernel modification
required), NetBSD and Solaris. rp-pppoe is released under the GNU
General Public License, and can be obtained from:
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/pppoe/
Changes from version 2.4:
Tested for zero-length TCP option-length field, and for reverse-packing
of type/code bitfields. Thanks to Robert Schlabbach (of RASPPPOE fame)
for pointing out these problems.
Set umask to 077 in adsl-setup.in to protect created files like
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets.

Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 23:01:41 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
MIMEDefang is a MIME mail scanner designed to run on Linux or UNIX
systems, and intended mainly to protect Windows e-mail clients from
mail-borne viruses. It requires Sendmail 8.11.
MIMEDefang is available from:
http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang

I would like to thank Robert A. Levene for spending a lot of time testing
pre-release versions of MIMEDefang and shaking out many problems.
Changes since 0.5:
o Built-in re_match functions are case-insensitive. If you use these
functions, you should upgrade ASAP unless you have written your regular
expressions to be case-insensitive.
o Better handling of weird cases which used to cause problems with MS Outlook.
o Correct handling of single-part MIME messages.
o Integration with H+BEDV anti-virus scanner.
o Additional filter options and actions.

Date : 19-Dec-2000
Presentation: Helix Gnome
Presenter : Brian Ritz
We've heard it said very often that GNOME is "more than a window
manager," but what is GNOME really? What does Helix GNOME offer over the
stock GNOME shipping on some current Linux distributions? We'll answer
most of those basic questions about GNOME along with how to "upgrade
your GNOME" to Helix, and how to keep it current. Brian will also show
you why this is worth the effort. Join us as we cover some of the GNOME
components such as: GNOME-print, Bonobo, CORBA and GNOME-db. One charge
leveled against Linux has always been that there is a lack of
applications, although many feel this is no longer true. With this
component technology, it will be easier for software developers to
create complex, reliable, and consistent well-integrated applications.
Then watch out world, here comes Linux!
Brian Ritz is currently the Intranet Content Manager for Morrison
Industries and has been working with Linux almost exclusively as a user
of the Whitemice.Org network. He is pursuing a degree in Finance from
Grand Valley State University and a UNIX System Administration
Certificate from Grand Rapids Community College.
We meet weekly, each Tuesday at 7:00 PM. Our meeting site is Room 4202
of Dunbar Hall on the campus of Western Michigan University.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Xi Graphics is pleased to announce fully accelerated support for the IBM
Thinkpad T21 in the newly announced Accelerated-X Display Server,
version 6.
This update provides fully accelerated support at 8, 16 and 24 bits per
pixel. The T21 also supports DualView in SLS mode. Please disable
screen blanking in the BIOS, since Accelerated-X takes care of screen
power management on its own. If you want the highest performance from
your laptop, configure the power management options in the BIOS that
affect system speed. This update was tested on the T21 with 8MB of
video memory.
Benchmarking was performed on the Thinkpad T21 with 8MB of video memory,
and, at 24-bit color depth, the results of the test for the
Accelerated-X server versus the corresponding XFree server and Metrolink
server are shown below along with the locations of the update and its
text file.
Xaccel: 18.5 Xmarks
