Hello:

We are pleased to announce that the "Linux Newbie Administrator Guide"
has been significantly updated again. The webpage is:

http://sunsite.dk/linux-newbie/

Linux Newbie Administrator Guide is an extensive reference for new Linux
users wishing to set up and maintain their own Linux desktop computer, or
administer a small home or office network. The answers which the guide
contains are meant to be simple and with just sufficient detail, yet they
may be useful to not-so-new Linux users. We believe that our Guide is the
BEST Linux newbie reference on the Internet :)). Our summary of Linux
commands (http://sunsite.dk/linux-newbie/Linux_commands.htm) appears to be
particularly popular.

Since the last public announcement 6 months ago, the volume of the Guide
has increased by ~30% and it now consists of over 200 printed pages. For
convenient off-line reading, the pdf and postscript versions of the guide
are available for download from the same web page. Also, the complete html
version can be downloaded for installation on your local machine, if so
desired. Parts of the Guide are also available in Russian, Chinese and
Polish.

We aim to create a complete Linux reference (free licence) and we believe
that we are approximately 60% through--the work is still very much in
progress. We  welcome your corrections, advice, criticism, links,
translations, and CONTRIBUTIONS. Pls note that there are no ad banners on
our home page.

Hope our guide is of help to you. Best regards,

Stan J. Klimas, Deep River, Ont, Canada

Gabon: the association of the users of Linux legalized
 http://www.gabaonet.co.ga/ag3l
A the occasion of the recent legalization of their association by the
Ministry for the Interior, the members of the Gabonese Association of the
Users of the free Software and Linux (AG3L) found on last 21 February during
an extraordinary meeting with Libreville.
 This round table will have made it possible the linuxiens Gabonese to be
pleased with this legalization; a new situation which should enable them to
officially launch their work programme during this year. Indeed, the
linuxiens will develop their actions on several axes in particular an
information and public awareness campaign on IT, the free software and
linux, of the formations in school and university establishments as well as
a series of meetings with possible local objective partners.
It is advisable to specify that the AG3L is a structure which was born in
1999 with libreville following a Linux/Réseau seminar organized in
Libreville by the Intergovernmental Agency of Francophonie with the
assistance of the local partners Gabonese.
The objectives of AG3l are primarily the promotion and the popularization of
IT, of the free software and linux. This association wants to be a force of
proposal and competence in the IT.

Subject: gawk 3.0.95, beta release for gawk 3.1.0, now available
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 11:50:46 GMT

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====


This note is to announce the BETA release of version 3.1 of gawk. It is
available from ftp://ftp.freefriends.org/arnold/gawk/gawk-3.0.95.tar.gz.

This release fixes a number of bugs, almost all of which have been posted
previously.  More importantly, there is a large number of new features
in this release, the first major release in approximately five years!
The relevant part of NEWS is appended below.

The documentation is still undergoing revision, although what's in the
distribution is complete in its coverage.  On the other hand, I believe
I've hit feature freeze and code freeze in the code.

Since this is a BETA release, I do NOT recommend installing it for
production use unless lack of one of the features listed below is really
hurting you.

On the other hand, why do a beta release? So that you, yes you, the end
user, can see if anything I've done breaks gawk for you.  Then you can
TELL ME ABOUT IT so that I can fix it for the final release.

I want version 3.1 to be stable for the long term. PLEASE help me do
that by building and testing this release, and letting me know if there
are any problems.  Ultimately, it is yourself you're helping, as well
as every other gawk user, when you do this.

Thanks,

Arnold Robbins

- ---------------------------------------------
Changes from 3.0.6 to 3.1.0
- ---------------------------

1. A new PROCINFO array provides info about the process. The non-I/O /dev/xxx
   files are now obsolete, and their use always generates a warning.

2. A new `mktime' builtin function was added for creating time stamps. The
   `mktime' function written in awk was removed from the user's guide.

3. New `--gen-po' option creates GNU gettext .po files for strings marked
   with a leading underscore.

4. Gawk now completely interprets special file names internally, ignoring the
   existence of real /dev/stdin, /dev/stdout files, etc.

5. The mmap code was removed. It was a worthwhile experiment that just
   didn't work out.

6. The BINMODE variable is new; on non-UNIX systems it affects how gawk
   opens files for text vs. binary.

7. The atari port is now unsupported.

8. Gawk no longer supports `next file' as two words.

9. On systems that support it, gawk now sets the `close on exec' flag on all
   files and pipes it opens. This makes sure that child processes run via
   system() or pipes have plenty of file descriptors available.

10. New ports: Tandem and BeOS.  The Tandem port is unsupported.

11. If `--posix' is in effect, newlines are not allowed after ?:.

12. Weird OFMT/CONVFMT formats no longer cause fatal errors.

13. Diagnostics about array parameters now include the parameter's name,
    not just its number.

14. configure should now automatically add -D_SYSV3 for ISC Unix.
    (This seems to have made it into the gawk 3.0.x line long ago.)

15. It is now possible to open a two-way pipe via the `|&' operator.
    See the discussion in the manual about putting `sort' into such a pipeline,
    though.  (NOTE!  This is borrowed from ksh: it is not the same as
    the same operator in csh!)

16. The close() function now takes an optional second string argument
    that allows closing one or the other end of the two-way pipe to
    a co-process.  This is needed to use `sort' in a co-process, see
    the doc.

17. If TCP/IP is available, special file names beginning with `/inet'
    can be used with `|&' for IPC. Thanks to Juergen Kahrs for the initial
    code.

18. With `--enable-portals' on the configure command line, gawk will also
    treat file names that start with `/p/' as a 4.4 BSD type portal file,
    i.e., a two-way pipe for `|&'.

19. Unrecognized escapes, such as "\q" now always generate a warning.

20. The LINT variable is new; it provides dynamic control over the --lint
    option.

21. Lint warnings can be made fatal by using --lint=fatal or `LINT = "fatal"'.
    Use this if you're really serious about portable code.

22. Due to an enhanced sed script, there is no longer any need to worry
    about finding or using alloca.  alloca.c is thus now gone.

23. A number of lint warnings have been added.  Most notably, gawk will
    detect if a variable is used before assigned to.  Warnings for
    when a string that isn't a number gets converted to a number are
    in the code but disabled; they seem to be too picky in practice.

    Also, gawk will now warn about function parameter names that shadow
    global variable names.

24. It is now possible to dynamically add builtin functions on systems
    that support dlopen. This facility is not (yet) as portable or well
    integrated as it might be.  *** WARNING *** THIS FEATURE WILL EVOLVE!

25. There are *many* new tests in the test suite.

26. Profiling has been added!  A separate version of gawk, named pgawk, is
    built and generates a run-time execution profile.  The --profile option
    can be used to change the default output file.   In regular gawk, this
    option pretty-prints the parse tree.

27. Gawk has been internationalized, using GNU gettext.  Translations for
    future distributions are most welcome.  Simultaneously, gawk was switched
    over to using automake.  You need Automake 1.4a (from the CVS archive)
    if you want to muck with the Makefile.am files.

28. New asort() function for sorting arrays.  See the doc for details.

29. The match function takes an optional array third argument to hold
    the text matched by parenthesized sub-expressions.

30. The bit op functions and octal and hex source code constants are on by
    default, no longer a configure-time option.  Recognition of non-decimal
    data is now enabled at runtime with --non-decimal-data command line option.

31. Internationalization features available at the awk level: new TEXTDOMAIN
    variable and bindtextdomain() and dcgettext() functions. printf formats
    may contain the "%2$3.5d" kind of notation for use in translations.  See
    the texinfo manual for details.

32. The return value from close() has been rationalized.  Most notably,
    closing something that wasn't open returns -1 but remains non-fatal.

33. The array effeciency change from 3.0.5 was reverted; the semantics were
    not right.  Additionally, index values of previously stored elements
    can no longer change dynamically.

34. The new option --dump-variables dumps a list of all global variables and
    their final types and values to a file you give, or to `awkvars.out'.

35. Gawk now uses a recent version of random.c courtesy of the FreeBSD
    project.

36. The gawk source code now uses ANSI C function definitions (new style),
    with ansi2knr to translate code for old compilers.

37. `for (iggy in foo)' loops should be more robust now in the face of
    adding/deleting elements in the middle; they loop over just the elements
    that are present in the array when the loop starts.

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====


IPmenu 0.0.3 is a "curses" (character graphical user interface) package
for configuring the Linux 2.4 netfilter and Linux 2.4 advanced routing
functionality.

Screenshots of ipmenu are available at :

        http://users.pandora.be/stes/ipmenu.html

IPmenu is used to configure routers, firewalls, packet-filters, or NAT
devices that don't run X windows, but can still benefit from a
terminal-oriented windowing environment (for configuring the firewall
over a serial link).

IPmenu offers menu-based lists to choose such things as
source/destination ports and addresses, ICMP type, log level, reject
error packet, etc. IPmenu can also be used as a browser and iptables
editor to inspect the contents of various iptables chains, and to
configure policy routing or to configure (divide) network links in
"classes" (chunks) of a given bandwidth.

Reply-To: johninsd@hotmail.com

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====


LILO release 21.7 is based upon Werner Almesberger's LILO version 21.

Version 21.7 adds support for higher serial line rates and fixes a few
minor problems discovered in release 21.6.1.  It maintains all backward
compatiblity.

Version 21.6 is an upgrade for users of the Reiser File System, and adds
new diagnostic capabilities.  Internal changes allow booting kernels with
larger real-mode setup codes (2.4.0 and later).  This version is fully
backward compatible with version 21.5, which added the customizable boot
menu interface, and versions back to 21.2, which allowed booting beyond
the 1024 cylinder limit on disks >8Gb.

Source code is available for download from:

   ftp://brun.dyndns.org/pub/linux/lilo          (developer's site)

Or from the main distribution site:

   ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo    (please use)


See the distribution file 'CHANGES' for details of the differences between
21.7 and prior releases.

Subject: Guikachu 0.1 "Pocket Lint"
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 11:57:03 GMT

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====


Dear users of both large and small computing tools,

Guikachu is a GNOME application for graphical editing of resource
files for PalmOS-based pocket computers (get it?). It is written by
Gergõ Érdi <cactus@cactus.rulez.org>. 

Catch it all from http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu/

This is the initial release of Guikachu. It is not really more than a
demonstration of what it will look like.

Features:
        * Libxml-based I/O (no DTD yet for .guikachu files)
        * Exporting to PilRC .rcp files (compile with pilrc -H)
        * String resources: fully implemented
        * Dialog resources: only the assignment of help strings is
          missing
        * Menu resources: fully implemented (the user interface
          might need some loving) 

Yet to come:
        * User interface improvements (e.g. context menus)
        * Per-application resources (e.g. version number, icon)
        * Form editor
        * Picture resources
        * `Help' attribute of dialog resources
        * Documentation
        * Sample file with sample GNU PalmOS SDK-based application
        * Bug-hunting

Guikachu uses GTK-- and GNOME-- for its user interface. File I/O is
implemented with the libxml package. Dialog windows are loaded via
libglade. You will need the versions of these packages available in
the GNOME 1.4 bundle.
To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also need PilRC
(part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files produced by
Guikachu.

Beware of bugemons!

        Cactus
