My Own Building System (a.k.a. mobs) is a GPLd build system, lightweight and easy to use, with a limited application framework. My Own Building System project gets information from the end-user wanting to build your project and modifies the building process according to such information.

It provides the developer with some development helpers, including some makefile framework and an interface for the end-user (the 0 script). This building system supports the (more or less) automatic building of C, C++, Bison/Yacc, Flex/Lex, and Texinfo source files, and the creation of static and shared libraries and binaries.

It is not a GNU autoconf/automake clone, and although the command line of the 0 script certainly mimics the one of GNU configure it is only for the sake of end-users. Internally, and from the point of view of the developer, is very different.

MURIX Linux is a distribution based on LinuxFromScratch for building bootable CD-ROMs.

Since you build it from source, MURIX should function on almost any hardware.

ModPerl::BuildMM is a "subclass" of ModPerl::MM used for building mod_perl 2.0.

SYNOPSIS

use ModPerl::BuildMM;

# ModPerl::BuildMM takes care of doing all the dirty job of overriding
ModPerl::BuildMM::WriteMakefile(...);

# if there is a need to extend the methods
sub MY::postamble {
my $self = shift;

my $string = $self->ModPerl::BuildMM::MY::postamble;

$string .= "nmydist : manifest tardistn";

return $string;
}

ModPerl::BuildMM is a "subclass" of ModPerl::MM used for building mod_perl 2.0. Refer to ModPerl::MM manpage.

VMware Server product is a robust yet easy to use software for users new to server virtualization technology.
VMware Server enables companies to partition a physical server into multiple virtual machines, and to start experiencing the benefits of virtualization.
Benefits of VMware Server
Provision a new server in minutes without investing in new hardware.
Run Windows and Linux operating systems and applications on the same physical server.
Increase the utilization of a physical server.
Move virtual machines from one physical host to another without re-configuration.
With VMware Server you can:
Streamline software development and testing by allowing developers to create multiple environments with different operating systems on the same server.
Evaluate software in ready-to-run virtual machines without installation and configuration.
Re-host legacy operating systems such as Windows NT Server 4.0 and Windows 2000 Server in a virtual machine running on new hardware and operating system.
Simplify server provisioning by building a virtual machine once and deploying it multiple times.
Leverage pre-built, ready-to-run virtual appliances that include virtual hardware, operating system and application environments. Virtual appliances for Web, email, proxy and other infratructure services are available for download from the VMTN Virtual Machine Center.
VMware Server is the first step to VMware Virtual Infrastructure
While VMware Server is a compelling product for new virtualization users, VMware Virtual Infrastructure products-ESX Server with Virtual SMP and VirtualCenter with VMotion-enable companies to implement large-scale production server consolidation, business continuity, and enterprise desktop solutions with enterprise-class performance, high availability, manageability and security. View a comparison between VMware Server and VMware Virtual Infrastructure.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes four security vulnerabilities, as reported in CVE-2007-1337, CVE-2007-1877, CVE-2007-1069, and CVE-2007-1876.
- These vulnerabilities permitted denial of service, crashes of Windows guests, or corrupted stack pointers.
- A problem with VMware Tools that caused the guest to run out of memory was fixed.
- A crash in the VIX API was resolved.
- Building of the kernel and the HGFS modules was improved.
- Several occasional crashes were fixed.

rtldi is an ELF program interpreter that enables each main executable program to use its own runtime loader and shared libraries, independent of the default versions installed in /lib, and independent of any other main executable program.

Thus rtldi facilitates the simultaneous interoperation of programs that originally were linked using different generations of glibc6. In theory glibc6 is backward compatible (a given binary executable should run correctly using any subsequent version of glibc6), but in practice there have been enough bugs and glitches at various times to require workarounds.

Example: If the PT_INTERP of an executable a.elf is /2.2.4-24/rtldi (instead of /lib/ld-linux.so.2), then the executable runs effectively as if it were invoked via
/2.2.4-24/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /2.2.4-24:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /path/of/execve/a.elf args... and will use /2.2.4-24/libc.so.6 for its glibc6. rtldi uses its own path prefix in PT_INTERP as the prefix for ld-linux.so.2, and as the first directory path in the colon-separated list argument following --library-path.

The --library-path argument replaces LD_LIBRARY_PATH for a.elf only, without modifying LD_LIBRARY_PATH for a.elf or for any children that a.elf may invoke. (This is a feature of ld-linux.so.2.) Also, the process name remains "a.elf".

New ELF executables can specify the runtime loader by building with -Wl,--dynamic-linker=/path/to/rtldi. Old executables that specify /lib/ld-linux.so.2 for their PT_INTERP can be modified by using a binary file editor.

Find the Offset of the INTERP string by using readelf --program-headers a.elf. The replacement string cannot be longer, and must be terminated by

Mail::Action is a Perl module for building modules that act on incoming mail.

SYNOPSIS

use base Mail::Action;

Sometimes, you just need a really simple mailing address to last for a few days. You want it to be easy to create and easy to use, and you want it to be sufficiently anonymous that your real address isnt ever exposed.

Mail::TempAddress, Mail::TempAddress::Addresses, and Mail::TempAddress::Address make it easy to create a temporary mailing address system.

Perl::Dist::Vanilla::Build is a Perl module for building Vanilla Perl from scratch.

The Perl::Dist::Vanilla distribution on CPAN contains scripts and instructions for downloading component sources and assembling them into the executable installer for Vanilla Perl. It does not include the resulting Vanilla Perl installation itself.

This document describes the build process for generating a Vanilla Perl executable installer.
