CPAN::Test::Others is a Perl module to include tests for other modules on CPAN.

SYNOPSIS

You dont have any use for this module, just run its tests and report them to CPAN Testers

Sometimes I have an urge to write tests for other modules. Getting these tests included in the real distributin is not always easy, other module authors are busy too. They might have a real life.

So this module does not have its own code, it only has prerequisites and tests for those other modules.

KeyNote is a simple and flexible trust-management system designed to work well for applications.

Trust management, introduced in the PolicyMaker system [BFL96], is a unified approach to specifying and interpreting security policies, credentials, and relationships; it allows direct authorization of security-critical actions. A trust-management system provides standard, general-purpose mechanisms for specifying application security policies and credentials. Trust-management credentials describe a specific delegation of trust and subsume the role of public key certificates; unlike traditional certificates, which bind keys to names, credentials can bind keys directly to the authorization to perform specific tasks.

A language for describing `actions, which are operations with security consequences that are to be controlled by the system.
A mechanism for identifying `principals, which are entities that can be authorized to perform actions.
A language for specifying application `policies, which govern the actions that principals are authorized to perform.
A language for specifying `credentials, which allow principals to delegate authorization to other principals.
A `compliance checker, which provides a service to applications for determining how an action requested by principals should be handled, given a policy and a set of credentials.

The trust-management approach has a number of advantages over other mechanisms for specifying and controlling authorization, especially when security policy is distributed over a network or is otherwise decentralized.

Trust management unifies the notions of security policy, credentials, access control, and authorization. An application that uses a trust- management system can simply ask the compliance checker whether a requested action should be allowed. Furthermore, policies and credentials are written in standard languages that are shared by all trust-managed applications; the security configuration mechanism for one application carries exactly the same syntactic and semantic structure as that of another, even when the semantics of the applications themselves are quite different.

Trust-management policies are easy to distribute across networks, helping to avoid the need for application-specific distributed policy configuration mechanisms, access control lists, and certificate parsers and interpreters.

For a general discussion of the use of trust management in distributed system security, see [Bla99].

KeyNote is a simple and flexible trust-management system designed to work well for a variety of large- and small- scale Internet-based applications. It provides a single, unified language for both local policies and credentials. KeyNote policies and credentials, called `assertions, contain predicates that describe the trusted actions permitted by the holders of specific public keys. KeyNote assertions are essentially small, highly-structured programs. A signed assertion, which can be sent over an untrusted network, is also called a `credential assertion. Credential assertions, which also serve the role of certificates, have the same syntax as policy assertions but are also signed by the principal delegating the trust.

In KeyNote:

Actions are specified as a collection of name-value pairs.
Principal names can be any convenient string and can directly represent cryptographic public keys.
The same language is used for both policies and credentials.
The policy and credential language is concise, highly expressive, human readable and writable, and compatible with a variety of storage and transmission media, including electronic mail.
The compliance checker returns an application-configured `policy compliance value that describes how a request should be handled by the application. Policy compliance values are always positively derived from policy and credentials, facilitating analysis of KeyNote-based systems.
Compliance checking is efficient enough for high-performance and real-time applications.

This document describes the KeyNote policy and credential assertion language, the structure of KeyNote action descriptions, and the KeyNote model of computation.

Post-Modern is a KDE theme inspired by eriols KDE 4 mockup. However, the window decor should be simple. But, personally i do not know how to do the coding; i tried, i have no programming knowledge.

I am looking for someone interested in helping make the window decor. It would need no masks and the button style i pulled from clear look.

XPN - X Python Newsreader project is a graphical newsreader written in Python with the GTK+ toolkit. I started writing it because I was learning Python language and working on a real project keeps your attention high.
XPN is distributed with the GPL licence, youll found a copy of the licence inside the XPN archive.
An interesting characteristic of XPN is the complete portability. I use it a lot on Linux and Windows, however XPN should work wherever Python and GTK+2 work.
With XPN you can read/write articles on the Usenet with a good MIME support (better than some well known newsreaders).
XPN can operate with all the most diffuse charset starting from US-ASCII to UTF-8. When you edit an article XPN automatically chooses the best charset, however is always possible to override this choice.
There also other useful features like scoring, filtered views, random tag-lines, external editor support, one-key navigation, ROT13, spoiler char ...
Main features:
On-Line/Off-Line Mode
- XPN has been for a long time an on-line only newsreader, now its changed. Starting from 0.2.5 I added the read articles storing, and starting from 0.4.0 you are able to download the whole bodies with the headers, or to mark for retrieval some articles and then download their bodies.
- Note that the download is a bit slow because I havent yet optimized this code, so the better way to use XPN is still with a local news-server, or if you have a DSL connection, directly online.
MIME Standards
- With XPN you can read articles coded with quoted-printable, 7bit or 8bit. XPN is also full UTF-8 compliant, you can read and send aritcles with the UTF-8 charset.
- Outgoing articles are coded with the best charset, however you can always override this choice.
Scoring
- Its possible to create scoring rules (like the Hamsters ones but simpler) in order to assign a score to articles. This rule can act on this fields: From, Subject, Date, Message-ID, References, Age, Xpost, Xref, Bytes and Lines
- You may also create action rules. These rules trigger an action to be applied on to the article. Possible actions are !kill (delete the article), !markread, !watch, !ignore and so on.
- Action rules act on the same fields listed above plus a new field named Score, in fact action rules are always applied after scoring rules.
Multiple Layouts
- Ther three different possible layouts for the main window. Probably in the future I will add more of them. You can also zoom one of the tree panes.
Colors
- Articles are shown with different colors for text, quoted text and signs. You can change this colors.
Random TagLines
- Its possible to automatically add a random tagline in your articles. TagLines are picked from a textfile that you can customize.
X-Face::
- Starting from 0.4.5 XPN support decoding of the X-Face and Face headers. Thanks to Andrew Taylor (author of a Javascript implementation of uncompface) for helping me in translating its module.
Internationalization
- Starting from 0.4.5 release XPN supports multiple languages. I use gettext (thank to Guillame Bedot) in order to mark and extract text string from the code
- If you want to translate XPN in your language just get the original strings file (xpn.pot), youll find it inside lang directory. Translate it with a translation software like GTranslator, KBabel or POEdit and send me the result. Please use UTF-8 as you charset.
