Tripwire is a tool that aids system administrators and users in monitoring a designated set of files for any changes. Used with system files on a regular (e.g., daily) basis, Tripwire can notify system administrators of corrupted or tampered files, so damage control measures can be taken in a timely manner. If "TRIPWIRE_FLOPPY" is set to "YES" in the environment or on the "make" command line, this port will write the tripwire database to a floppy disk, which should then be write-protected and used as a reference for future runs. The diskette should be formatted and present in the "A" drive before starting the "make install" step. Joe Greco <jgreco@ns.sol.net>

MythTV is a "Personal Video Recorder", i.e. a computer-based video recorder. It supports pausing and rewinding live TV, multiple tuner cards, hardware or software video compression, onscreen program guides and a distributed architecture. MythTV requires tuner drivers which support the V4L standard. Currently no official FreeBSD driver does so, but the latest version of a beta version of the cxm driver is available from http://usleepless.110mb.com/pvrxxx_port-10042007.tgz. Problems have been reported with this port; if you use it, you should join the FreeBSD-multimedia mailing list and report where appropriate.

Alpine is a screen-oriented message-handling tool for news, and POP, IMAP, and local e-mail. In its default configuration it offers a limited set of functions geared toward the novice user, but it also has a large list of optional "power-user" and personal-preference features. Alpine's basic feature set includes: * View, Save, Export, Delete, Print, Reply and Forward messages. Compose messages in a simple editor with word-wrap and a spelling checker. Messages may be postponed for later completion. * Selection and management of message folders. * Address book to keep a list of long or frequently-used addresses. Personal distribution lists may be defined. Addresses may be taken into the address book from incoming mail without retyping them. * New mail checking/notification occurs automatically (configurable). * On-line, context-sensitive help screens. Alpine supports MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions), an Internet Standard for representing multipart and multimedia data in email.

3[APA3A] tiny proxy 3Proxy (pronounce it as "Zaraza tiny proxy") is really tiny cross-platform (Win32&Unix) proxy servers set. It includes HTTP proxy with HTTPS and FTP support, SOCKSv4/SOCKSv4.5/SOCKSv5 proxy, POP3 proxy, TCP and UDP portmappers. You can use every proxy as a standalone program (socks, proxy, tcppm, udppm, pop3p) or use combined program (3proxy). Combined proxy additionally supports features like access control, bandwidth limiting, limiting daily/weekly/monthly traffic amount, proxy chaining, log rotation, sylog and ODBC logging, etc. It's created to be small, simple (I'd like to say secure - but it's just a beta) and yet functional. It may be compiled with Visual C or gcc. Native Win32 version included in archive and supports installation as NT/2K/XP service. Currently 3proxy is tested to work under Windows 98/NT/2000/2003/XP, FreeBSD/i386, Linux/i386, Linux/Alpha. See Release Notes and Changes for features list. 3proxy is FreeWare. It can be used under terms of GNU/GPL or under its own license (please read License Agreement). For licensing or commercial support please e-mail to 3proxy@3proxy.ru

Emacs major mode to create HTML files from Emacs buffers (in colour!) This major mode will output the contents of an Emacs buffer as a HTML file, preserving the colour attributes of that buffer. This is a pretty elegant solution to produce nice listings of your code in Erlang, C++, SML, Ruby (or whatever esoteric language you can dig out a major mode for) to display on web sites. As an example watch the ELISP code of this major mode http://fly.srk.fer.hr/~hniksic/emacs/htmlize.el.html Because the colouring depends only on your major mode and perhaps some individual settings (e.g. I prefer a dark background) you can turn any Emacs buffer into HTML.

This module implements a scalable method of quickly propagating files to a large number of servers in one or more locations via rsync or scp. This module and the included script, ccp, take a much more efficient approach that is O(log n). Once the file(s) are been copied to a remote server, that server will be promoted to be used as source server for copying to remaining servers. Thus, the rate of transfer increases exponentially rather than linearly. Servers can be specified in groups (e.g. datacenter) to prevent copying across groups. This maximizes the number of transfers done over a local high-speed connection (LAN) while minimizing the number of transfers over the WAN. The number of multiple simultaneous transfers per source point is configurable. The total number of simultaneously forked processes is limited via Proc::Queue, and is currently hard coded to 32.

CGAL is a collaborative effort of several sites in Europe and Israel. The goal is to make the most important of the solutions and methods developed in computational geometry available to users in industry and academia in a C++ library. The goal is to provide easy access to useful, reliable geometric algorithms. The CGAL library contains: * the Kernel with geometric primitives such as points, vectors, lines, predicates for testing things such as relative positions of points, and operations such as intersections and distance calculation. * the Basic Library which is a collection of standard data structures and geometric algorithms, such as convex hull in 2D/3D, (Delaunay) triangulation in 2D/3D, planar map, polyhedron, smallest enclosing circle, and multidimensional query structures. * the Support Library which offers interfaces to other packages, e.g., for visualisation, and I/O, and other support facilities.

numexpr - Fast numerical array expression evaluator for Python and NumPy. The numexpr package evaluates multiple-operator array expressions many times faster than NumPy can. It accepts the expression as a string, analyzes it, rewrites it more efficiently, and compiles it to faster Python code on the fly. It's the next best thing to writing the expression in C and compiling it with a specialized just-in-time (JIT) compiler, i.e. it does not require a compiler at runtime. Also, numexpr has support for the Intel VML (Vector Math Library) -- integrated in Intel MKL (Math Kernel Library) --, allowing nice speed-ups when computing transcendental functions (like trigonometrical, exponentials...) on top of Intel-compatible platforms. This support also allows to use multiple cores in your computations.

The Liquid Rescale plugin is an implementation of the content-aware resizing by seam carving algorithm by Shai Avidan and Ariel Shamir. It aims at resizing pictures non uniformly while preserving the features of the picture, i.e. avoiding distortion of the important parts of the picture. It can also be used to remove portions of the picture in a consistent way. It works both ways, but enlarging gives better results if done in successive steps. It can use extra layers as masks to select which features of the image should be preserved and which should be discarded. The plugin works on the active layer or floating selection. If a selection is present, it is saved to a channel. If the layer has a transparency mask, an option is given to select the behaviour (apply/discard).

The Byte Code Engineering Library (formerly known as JavaClass) is intended to give users a convenient possibility to analyze, create, and manipulate (binary) Java class files (those ending with .class). Classes are represented by objects which contain all the symbolic information of the given class: methods, fields and byte code instructions, in particular. Such objects can be read from an existing file, be transformed by a program (e.g. a class loader at run-time) and dumped to a file again. An even more interesting application is the creation of classes from scratch at run-time. The Byte Code Engineering Library (BCEL) may be also useful if you want to learn about the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and the format of Java .class files. BCEL is already being used successfully in several projects such as compilers, optimizers, obsfuscators and analysis tools, the most popular probably being the Xalan XSLT processor at Apache.
