Free changed software for linux

dpkg-changes is a simple script which will report on the packages which have been installed and uninstalled, since the script was last run.

It does this by building up a list of all the packages installed upon your system the first time it is run, then comparing that list against what the system reports whenever it is subsequently run.

The intention is that it can be placed in a crontab file for a user and be run on a daily/weekly basis to give a good idea of what has changed upon the machine.

This is particularly handy when a server is maintained by multiple people, as it allows all admins to be informed when a new package is installed.

Network Device Change Control (NDCC) is a system that monitors and records changes to the configurations of network equipment.

Network Device Change Control can store configuration snapshots for any text-based configs. It has been used to store configurations from Unix and Linux systems, Cisco routers, switches, load balancers, and firewalls, Foundry, NetScreen, Juniper, NetScaler, and others.

It only took a while to realize that router changes should be tracked. I rewrote the system to give a current and once-back system of configurations. Since I was using diff, I decided to leave the diff information in the system. Those diffs were emailed to a group so everyone knew when something was changed, along with what was changed.

Some time later, a bank needed to track configuration files, and the system was upgraded for use within a database. The first implementation was using perl as a CGI script against a PostgreSQL database. The company wanted many changes made for their auditing needs and most of those changes enhanced NDCC. Upgrades to their environment moved things to PHP and MySQL, and the system was rewritten for that environment and the old perl code has since been lost.

VCS::CMSynergy::Changes is a list of changes to VCS::CMSynergy.

This module is a Perl interface to CM Synergy (formerly known as Continuus CM), a change and configuration management system from Telelogic AB (http://www.telelogic.com). It is implemented on top of the CM Synergy CLI, hence you must have the command client ("ccm")
installed to use it.
