SvnReporter generates various reports in response to commits happening in a Subversion repository.

SvnReporter is intended to be called from the post-commit hook. Two types of reports are supported: single-event and event list reports.

The former generate reports relative to the current commit only, and are typically used to generate post-commit mails.

The latter generate reports relative to a list of commits, e.g. an RSS feed or a Web page showing the latest commits.

Reports can be restricted to certain criteria, specified by a list of regular expressions. The format of the reports can be defined with a template.

ispCP project was founded to build a Multi Server Control and Administration Panel without limits. Until there is an usable version a lot of time will pass by. This Control Panel should be usable by any Internet Service Provider (isp). To develop such a tool, we need a lot of time.

To gain your interest, we decided to support the dying VHCS project. VHCS means Virtual Hosting Control Panel. It is a powerful tool to administrate your webhosting services. Our fork of VHCS is called the ispCP Omega.

The ispCP Omega release is based on the original VHCS, an open source project. As core members of the former VHCS developing team, we - Malte aka ephigenie and Benedikt aka RatS - had the wish to create a real open development of VHCS. On this platform it is possible.

Since we cannot change the copyright of the parts were using out of the VHCS project which is licensed under the Mozilla Public License, were looking forward to make all new parts available under the Gnu Public License (V2).

Free Tennis is a tennis simulation developed by a former tennis player. Its main feature is realism.
For gameplay, this means you have total control over the shot parabola. For graphics, it means players have realistic gestures. For AI, it means real tactics.
Free Tennis is a tenis simulator game.
Main features:
- Real tactics are useful in the game (e.g. it is best to take the net with a slow, low shot (backspin); it is best to play diagonal in order not to give angles, especially when you are decentered; you should get back to center after the shot, and not be caught in no-mans-land when the opponent hits; etc.);
- The A.I. is very advanced and reflects those tactics;
- You have total control over the parabola described by the shot;
- The graphic gestures are realistic and elegant;
- Different players have different skills;
- The game is developed by a former tennis player;
- Free Tennis is Free Software (which means more than simply "open-source"). It is released under the GPL license. Should you need another license, please ask the author.

mhrw is a tool for mailheader manipulation. mhrw can be useful in complex MTA setups. In general, headers shouldnt be rewritten, but i found myself configuring an MTA with special delivery methods, where delivery took place depending on spamassassins spam-level and various other things.

In this setup, smtpd and delivery were completely different tasks without any communication possible between them. So, i decided to use the mail-headers loading some additional neccessary information. To get rid of lots of slow scripts, mhrw was born.

How it works:

mhrw reads mails from < stdin > or (if argument is given) from < file >. It supports two operating modes,

a) replace some part of the header, matched by a regular expression,
b) add some part to the header below the former last headerline.

In no way the body of a message is touched. Anything below the header is passed through. Also, the message will always pass until EOF.

Examples:

To show some example, on how to use mhrw, ill define the following (not
really standard, but very simple) mail as origin:

Received: somehost (somehost.somewhere) by uid 1007 with esmtp
X-Authenticated-SMTP: username
Received: anyhost; date
Subject: some test

body
...

If this mailalike header is getting used by following command:

mhrw ^X-Authenticated-SMTP: .*$

this will result in:

Received: somehost (somehost.somewhere) by uid 1007 with esmtp
Received: anyhost; date
Subject: some test

body
...

Youre able to use any regular expression you like, limited (by default) upto 4 subqueries.

The second argument (the replacement string) interprets written n and r sequences.

Installation:

mhrw dosnt relay on libraries and is written with a very basic set of commands, so:

./configure
make
make install

should build the binary on most platforms.

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)
Enhancements:
- added Jens V4L 0.9.x stuff

Call this script from the Autostart folder, and it will update Kopetes away message for each interval (requires Kopete 0.12 or higher). The away messages are by default defined in ~/.kopete-away-msgs. Each line can contain either:
- a comment (starting with a #)
- flags message
The flags define some properties to each away message. Flags are defined only at the start of the line, beginning and ending with a %. The following flags are supported.
[0-9]*[smhd] Determines how long this message should be shown before a new one is chosen. This is the sleep(1) syntax.
a Only show this message when youre away.
c This line is a command, use its output as away message.
i Show the contents of a file, line by line. The message should contain the path to the file. Do not use ~ but use /home/$USER instead. Empty lines in the included file are skipped.
n Use the next message in the file for the next iteration.
o Only show this message when youre online.
x Dont use this message when looking for a random message. This means this line is only accessible when the former line contains the n flag.
- Show the message less than normal times
-- Show the message even more less
--- Show the message sometimes
To determine your online status, you need to have the Web Presence plugin enabled. By default, it reads the file ~/.webstatus.xml. Adapt the variable below if you store the file somewhere else. The script wont do anything when youre offline or partially away (that is, some protocols are Away, some protocols are Online).
Because the web status plugin is used, the process of retrieving the current webstatus is not really reliable. It may happen that you turn back to online when you set the status on Away in a short time. If this doesnt happen in about 10 seconds after the status change, you may consider the status change as successful.
Example ~/.kopete-away-msgs file:
========================================================================
# Sometimes, show uptime for one minute
%1mc--% uptime
# Fortune rocks, but dont pick too long messages (the length of away
# messages is limited.
%2mc% fortune -s -n 120
# just show Hello world for the default interval
Hello world
# Show a away message for 60 seconds.
%a60% Im away now.
# Ask people to say something when youre online
%o% Please message me!
# Show all contents of the Linux README line by line. Show each line for
# 3 seconds.
%3i% /usr/src/linux/README
# Tell a little story when Im away. These lines must emerge in the
# right order, so mind the n and x flags! The x flags make sure we dont
# start in the middle of the story. And, show each line for about 5
# seconds.
%na5% Goodbye, all you people,
%nax5% Theres nothing you can say
%nax5% To make me change my mind.
%ax5% Goodbye.
==================================================================
Enhancements:
- Ability to query the online/away status directly from Kopete (DCOP). This requires a patched Kopete, see the description for more details on how to proceed.
- Fortune mode: Pick a random line from a given text file.
- First check the online/away status to prevent unnecessary command calls.
- Various bugfixes

Hybserv2 is a new and improved version of the now unsupported Hybserv, sporting new features, bugfixes, and more. Hybserv2 project is specifically designed for Hybrid IRC servers, but may work with others as well.
