Subject: A set of shell scripts for maintaining a photo album Web page
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 11:54:43 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The "Album System" is a set of shell scripts which manages the recurring
tasks involved in maintaining a photo album on the Web: Downloading from
the camera, generating an HTML document with a new or revised set of
thumbnails, and ftp-uploading to the Web site the album document plus
all new thumbnails and full size images. I use it to maintain my own
page of family photos: www.wcl1.demon.co.uk/bertie/album.html .
In there, the thumbnail with the banner text 'Technical' is a link to a
document giving a detailed specification of the Album System, How to get
it, install it and use it.

Subject: freescope v0.1.0 source code browser
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 11:59:17 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Freescope v0.1.0 now available!
freescope is a source code browser for UNIX-like operating systems,
similar to the "cscope" application. Currently, freescope allows user to
browse a C project by querying the freescope symbol database such as:
"find places where a function is called".
Freescope is still a very young program but deserves a look. It remains
under heavy development and new features along with bug fixes are
expected to improve the application greatly in the next future.
Freescope should provide browsing capability for other programming
languages, such as C++, Java or Pascal.
Visit now the freescope web site at:
freescope.sourceforge.net

Subject: Fcron 1.0.0 - a replacement for Vixie cron and anacron
Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 11:52:29 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
What is new in this release (1.0.0) ?
- -------------------------------------
- - added fcron's option "-s" to control the time between two saves
of the fcrontabs on disk.
- - installation scripts now support better FreeBSD and sh.
- - bug corrected : configure's options prefix and without-sendmail used not
to work.
- - bug corrected : installing an fcrontab by "fcrontab file" wasn't working
correctly with a relative path (a path not beginning by a "/").
What is fcron ?
- ---------------
Fcron is a scheduler. It aims at replacing Vixie Cron, so it implements
most of its functionalities.
But contrary to Vixie Cron, fcron does not need your system to be up
7 days a week, 24 hours a day : it also works well with systems which
are not running neither all the time nor regularly (contrary to
anacrontab).
To do so, fcron allows you to use the standard mode in which you tell
it to execute one command at a given date and hour and to make it run
a command according to its time of execution, which is normally the same
as system up time. For example :
Run the task 'save //home// directory'
every 3h15 of system up time.
and, of course, in order to make it really useful, the time remaining
until next execution is saved each time the system is stopped.
You can also say :
run that command once between 2am and 5am
which will be done if the system is running at any time in this
interval. Or even :
run this job once every week as soon as the 15 minutes
load average is lower than 0.9
Fcron also includes a useful system of options, which can be applied
either to every lines following the declaration or to a single line.
Some of the supported options permit to: run jobs one by one, run jobs
at fcron's startup if they should have been run during system down time,
a better management of the mailing of outputs, set a nice value for a
job ...
What is planed for next releases ?
- ----------------------------------
I'd like to :
- - add PAM support.
- - allow users to have several fcrontabs.
(I wonder if it is really necessary : what do you think
about it ? Please mail me answers at fcron@free.fr
<mailto:fcron@free.fr> )
- - allow users to control their running jobs (renice, stop,
continue ...)
(propositions and help are welcome)
How you can help me
- -------------------
I especially need help for testing every fcron functionalities.
If you'd like to help me, please contact me at :
fcron@free.fr <mailto:fcron@free.fr>
Where can I get it ?
- --------------------
You can either go to the project home page at :
http://fcron.free.fr
or get it from metalab at
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/daemons/cron/fcron-1.0.0.src.tar.gz
<ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/daemons/cron/fcron-0.9.3.src.tar.gz>
(109kB)
(I've sent the file but it may take some time before it is available on
metalab)
I hope you will enjoy it,
Thibault.

Date: Sat, 10 Mar 2001 12:01:46 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Sketch 0.6.9 - A vector drawing program
Sketch is a vector drawing program for Linux and other unices. It's
intended to be a flexible and powerful tool for illustrations, diagrams
and other purposes.
It has advanced features like gradients, text along a path and clip
masks and is fully scriptable due to its implementation in a combination
of Python and C.
Summary of the Changes since 0.6.8:
* Italian translation.
* The PDF-export filter supports arrow heads now and handles dash
patterns correctly.
* Several fixes to make Sketch work with Python 2.0.
* Several bug fixes
For more information, sources and binaries, have a look at the Sketch
webpage: http://sketch.sourceforge.net/
Sketch is released under the GNU Library General Public License.
