Free 0.5.2 software for linux

Major Features:

1. User friendly. Dim provides a version naming service, which is for version control what the DNS is for internet. Versions are stored directly expanded in the filesystem, with common files hardlinked, and are accessible for any tool or purpose.
2. Transparent. Versioning metadata are stored entirely outside of item content, avoiding any interference with data. It allows easy coexistence with other tools, but also new possibilities to organize large and complex projects.
3. Distributed. Each user hosts its own complete replica of the repository. A simple PHP server agent can be deployed on any HTTP server supporting PHP (most of ISPs).
4. Efficient. Only compressed delta between versions are archived and exchanged over the network.
5. Safe. Each replica increases robustness. Sha1 checksums are used for integrity checks, and version identification. RSA asymetric encryption is used for version signing and authentication.
6. Fast and scalable. Dim leverages the power, the speed and the robustness of the filesytem whenever possible, and uses simple, specialized and fast unix executables, to remain as thin as an application can be.
7. Dim is a single self documented POSIX shell script of around 2000 lines. It just uses standard UNIX utilities like awk, diff, tar, and openssl. It should run almost everywhere.

Enhancements:

• Provides support for full archives
• Removal and re-import of versions
• Many internal changes to prepare support of multi-item operations
• Several important bugfixes.

rmp3 is a receiver for the rmp3 broadcast protocol. This protocol uses teletext data transmitted in the VBI (vertical blanking interval) of TV transmissions to broadcast mp3-files (e.g. RadioMP3 and MegaRadio). rmp3 currently is a command-line application. A GUI is forthcoming.
rmp3 is free software and released under the GNU General Public License. See the file COPYING for more information. See the file AUTHORS, too.
The rmp3 protocol is designed to be used by MEGARADIO http://www.megaradio.net/
to broadcast their program via NBC Europe TV.
NBC Europe TV can be received:
Via analog cable-TV in Germany. Some areas have only part-time reception.
Check http://www.kabelanschluss.com/ for details.
Via Eutelsat HOTBIRD (almost everywhere in Europe) with a *digital* (DVB) receiver. You either need a digital set-top box that re-inserts the teletext stream into the analog signal routed to your TV card. Or you need a DVB-s card and a direct connection to your satellite dish.
Note that NBC Europe cannot be received with an analog satellite receiver. And no, NBC Europe is not on Astra -- do not confuse it with CNBC.
Since rmp3 is a data service you need a pretty good reception of the TV signal. Even if you barely see any snow in the TV picture you may still get too many errors for it to be usable. Check the cable to your TV card (short cables are better) and the finetuning (xawtv: cursor left/right). Use rmp3 -v to check the signal quality indicator (Q=10 is perfect, lower numbers are worse).
Of course this means you either need an (analog) TV card or a (digital)
DVB-S card supported by Linux. It is probably a good idea to get the card
running with a program to watch TV *before* you try running rmp3. xawtv
and alevt are the most popular choices for watching TV and browsing teletext.
Please see the Linux FAQs for details.
The authors of rmp3 would like to point out that we wrote rmp3 but we
are NOT RESPONSIBLE for the RADIO PROGRAM that is broadcast by MEGARADIO!
Please DO NOT COMPLAIN TO US about the music they play or the quality
of the MP3s they send. We cant do anything about it!
In particular MEGARADIO at the time of this writing (August 2002) has the
following problems:
The stream is sent either at 96 kbit/s or 128 kbit/s depending on the time of the day. Although they claim that the former is required because an additional teletext magazine is sent, there is no technical reason for that. If the stream is sent with the correct speed (see below) there is enough room in the VBI to send the teletext magazine even at 128 kbit/s.
The stream is sent too fast (106% for 96 kbit/s and 114% for 128 kbit/s)! But without a correct stream timing listening to the stream is a pain. Since your soundcard can only play at a fixed rate some buffer will inevitably overflow after a short time. You will her a popping noise in the audio and a piece of the song is lost. Note that file saving is
not affected. If you both listen to the stream and save the stream, files will be saved ok even if the audio fails. The only workaround we can offer is to increase the queue length (e.g. rmp3 -Q 1000 will allocate around 900K). But this just delays the problem. You will soon see asynchronous output if you use multiple plugins.
The 128 kbit/s MP3 files are of low quality. Apparently they are not generated with the best encoding and not from an uncompressed source.
All MP3 file names are in UPPERCASE and are missing all special characters. The save script tries to compensate for that but this is of course not perfect.
The MP3 files have ID3 tags now, but they are in UPPERCASE and incomplete.
There are no covers or structured song names, yet.
The are a few violations of the rmp3 protocol which may lead to corrupted MP3 files if there are many errors or gaps in the stream (the stream ID is not changed and empty garbage files are sent).
Sometimes there are long pauses between songs or the rmp3 stream is stopped and then started again. Just have a bit of patience. Sigh.
All of this may be obsolete by the time you read this (we hope so).To find the latest unofficial rumors and gossip about MEGARADIO, please visit: http://www.rettet-radiomp3.de/forum/ (in German only)

dyndb is a dynamical database.
dyndb is database with 1 key 1 value relation. The dyndb package contains fast and reliable tools to create, change and read that database. It also contains the library functions used by that programs.
The dyndb database has a number of limitation:
There may only be one process writing to any database file at a given time (although many other processes may read during that time). An application may use file locking to get around that limitation. The database size is limited to 31 bits (2gigabytes). Keys and data are limited to 31 bits also.
Hash, key length, data length and pointers are stored in little endian byte order. Although its possible to delete elements there is not way to reclaim the disk space of the records: deleted data is unavailable, not freed. The default table layout is targetted to offer nice performance for about 50000 to 100000 elements (note that your systems seek and read performance might limit the performance even more). Above that the performance will degrade drastically. Keys do not need to be unique. The library functions deal with this, but the tools do not provide a way to return more than one record. The order of the records is not preserved.
Enhancements:
- Fixed a crash bug in dyndb_fwalk.

SAFMQ, one of the first Open Source message queue server, provides high performance message queuing free to the public.
The SAFMQ server provides Asynchronous Messaging. Message Publishers send or enqueue a message with the SAFMQ server.
The SAFMQ server stores that message until the point at which the message can be forwarded on to the client. Message Publishers are assured that the messages are delivered. Thats how SAFMQ got its name.
SAFMQ provides an API to use SAFMQ directly. Simply use the SAFMQ MQBuilder class to specify the location of your SAMFQ server and youre ready to start publishing and subscribing to priority message queues!
Timely Messaging
SAFMQ provides the ability to perform timely message delivery. So, if a Message Publisher wants a message to be read by a Message Subscriber in a certain amount of time, or not read at all, then the Message Publisher can prescribe a Time-To-Live for the message it publishes. SAFMQ will notify the Message Publisher about messages which have outlived their Time-To-Live, or a Message Publisher can choose to ignore the event.
Round-Trip, PsudoSynchronous Messaging
Round-Trip, or PsudoSynchronous Messaging is when a Message Publisher acts as a Message Subscriber after sending a "query" message. A Message Publisher may want to receive information back from the Message Subscriber. Thus after the first message is sent by a Message Publisher and is received by a Message Subscriber, the original Message Publisher and Message Subscriber switch rolls.
SAFMQ provides a special messaging context element for Round-Trip/PsudoSynchronous Messaging. Its called a Receipt ID. When ever a message is Enqueued in a SAFMQ server, it is given a Universally Unique Identifier or UUID for short. When a Round-Trip message event is taking place, the original Message Subscriber publishes a message with a Recipt ID identiacal to the Message ID assigned to the message sent by the original Message Publisher. Then the original Message Publisher (now a subscriber) waits for a message with a Receipt ID equal to the Message ID the original Message Publisher sent.
Batch Processing
Not every task is best handled real-time. Sometime there are real money benefits to send transactions to a trading partner in a large group or batch. SAFMQ can be an intermediary between real-time systems and a back-end batch processor. The real-time system knows that the messages will be delivered, and the batch processor can let data queue up until it is ready to send all the data. The batch system can even respond via SAFMQ and a real-time system can instantly see the results.
Enhancements:
- Additional configuration changes for cross compile to MacOS X
