Free mirror sites software for linux

mirrorlinks project is a small script that automatically mirrors the contents of a directory into another directory using symbolic links, so you dont waste unnecessary disk space in copies.

This is better explained by example, of course:

You have directories Music, Movies and Shared.
You want to mirror both the contents of Music and the contents of Movies into Shared. For some specific reason, you dont want to place links to Movies and Music into Shared,

With mirrorlinks, thats easy to do:

mirrorlinks Music Shared
mirrorlinks Music Movies

Now Shared has the contents of both the Music and Movies directories. To be more accurate, Shared has the directory structure of both Music and Movies merged into one single directory, with symbolic links pointing to the actual files. So if you had files into Music/ATB, Shared would contain a folder named ATB, and this folder would contain links to the files in Music/ATB.

Tk::Mirror is a Perl extension for a graphic user interface to update local or remote directories in both directions.

SYNOPSIS

# in the simplest kind and manner
use Tk::Mirror;
use Tk;
my $mw->MainWindow->new();
$mw->Mirror()->grid();
MainLoop();
# in a detailed kind
use Tk;
use Tk::Mirror;
my $mw = MainWindow->new();
my $mirror = $mw->Mirror(
-localdir => "TestA",
-remotedir => "TestD",
-usr => my_ftp@username.de
-ftpserver => "ftp.server.de",
-pass => "my_password",
-debug => 1,
-delete => "enable",
-exclusions => ["private.txt", "secret.txt"],
-timeout => 60,
-connection => undef, # or a connection to a ftp-server
)->grid();
for(keys(%{$mirror->GetChilds()}))
{
$mirror->Subwidget($_)->configure(
-font => "{Times New Roman} 14 {bold}",
);
}
for(qw/
TreeLocalDir
TreeRemoteDir
/)
{
$mirror->Subwidget($_)->configure(
-background => "#FFFFFF",
-width => 40,
-height => 20,
);
}
for(qw/
bEntryUsr
EntryPass
bEntryFtpServer
bEntryLocalDir
bEntryRemoteDir
/)
{
$mirror->Subwidget($_)->configure(
-background => "#FFFFFF",
);
}
MainLoop();

This is a graphic user interface to compare and update local with remote directories in both directions.

File::Mirror is a Perl extension for recursive directory copy.

SYNOPSIS

use File::Mirror;

# recurvie copy /path/A to /path/B

mirror /path/A, /path/B;

# or do things you like

recursive { my ($from, $to) = @_; copy($from, $to) } /path/A, /path/B;

File::Mirror provides two helper functions to do recursive directory operations between source path and destination path. One is to call mirror which will do recursive copy. The other is to call recursive with a code block, which will be code for every file found in the source path.

File::Mirror fills the gap between File::Copy::Recursive, which only focuses on file copying, and File::Find, which is too obstacal to use.

debian-multimirror is a multithreaded debian mirroring tool, written in perl with great flexibility for mirroring a custom subset of the debian OS.
Main features:
- A tool for generating mirroring information from sources.list files.
- Excluding, including and including the union of one or several list of packages. (For example the output of dpkg --get-selections from several machines). (completed!!)
- Uses parallel programming so can exploit redundancy between mirrors and download from several mirrors at the same time for best performance and less mirror load. (Uses only one thread per mirror in order not to saturate individual mirrors).
- Uses XML format for configuration file. (completed!! ).
- Package information data is big, so memory consumption is around 80 Mb in the common case, and 30 Mb minimum (for one distribution and one host).
- Uses a custom algorithm to select a consistent set of packages and currently chooses the most replicated package set.
- It can still benefit from out of sync or even broken mirrors.
- Checks SHA1 and MD5 package information for assuring data integrity.
- Handles missing files on a mirror, and tries to get it from other
Enhancements:
- There is now support for signing Release files with gpg.

Fedora Core is now available from Red Hat and at distinguished mirror sites near you, and is also available in the torrent.
Fedora Core has expanded in this release to four binary ISO images and four source ISO images, and is available for both x86-64 and i386 and also PPC machines.
The Fedora Project is a Red-Hat-sponsored and community-supported open source project. It is also a proving ground for new technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat products. It is not a supported product of Red Hat, Inc.
The goal of The Fedora Project is to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from free software. Development will be done in a public forum. The project will produce time-based releases of Fedora Core about 2-3 times a year with a public release schedule.
The Red Hat engineering team will continue to participate in the building of Fedora Core and will invite and encourage more outside participation than was possible in Red Hat Linux.
By using this more open process, we hope to provide an operating system that uses free software development practices and is more appealing to the open source community.
Main features:
- KDE 3.5.4
- GNOME 2.16
- OpenOffice 2.0.4
- Kernel 2.6.17
- Xen
- ...and many more

SQuirreL SQL Client is a graphical Java program that will allow you to view the structure of a JDBC compliant database, browse the data in tables, issue SQL commands etc. The minimum version of Java supported is 1.4.x. We recommend 1.5.x. See the Old Versions page for versions of SQuirreL that will work with older versions of Java.

SQuirreLs functionality can be extended through the use of plugins. A short introduction can be found here. To see the change history (including changes not yet released) click here.

Susan Cline graciously took the time to document the steps she followed to setup an Apache Derby database from scratch and use the SQuirreL SQL Client to explore it.
Quite some time ago Kulvir Singh Bhogal wrote a great tutorial on SQuirreL and published it at the IBM developerWorks site. He has kindly allowed us to mirror it locally. The tutorial is not really up to date but especially for doing the first steps it is still of help.

SQuirrel was originally released under the GNU General Public License. Since version 1.1beta2 it has been released under the GNU Lesser General Public License.

Whats New in This Release:

1716859 Cant see data in content tab or row count tab (MS SQLServer databases
with a dash ("-") in their name would cause the content tab or row count
tabs to render no data.

1714476: (DB copy uses wrong case for table names) The copy operation would
sometimes fail to select records from the source table. Since the
case for the source table is always known to be correct, the plugin
no longer erroneously attempts to correct the case.

1700093: Formatter fails for insert script with multiple subselects

Refactoring Plugin: SQL-Server needs eol between GO and statement.

Fixed bug which appeared while editing tables in PostgreSQL 8.1. If the table
was created without an OID column, the last column would not be editable.

Fix for issue where dates arent correctly displayed or updated when using
treat date as timestamp pref in the SQl Editor result panel.

Use the last directory that a file was imported from when importing additional
files for binary fields.

1699294: Squirrel imports BLOB, but does not update data

Oracle Plugin: Handle slashes when they are used as statement separators.

137984 (Bug in alias delete) The problem was that notifications were being
sent to the alias drop-down that the item was being deleted which trigger an
update and new selection forcing the connect to alias window to be launched.
Now, the alias drop down is disabled while the update is happening and enabled
immediately afterward.

Hierarchical Grid Site Managment is a front-end to the database that keeps information about the grid sites (clusters), their admins, email and phone contacts, other contact people, site nodes and resources, downtimes etc.
These sites are organized by country and countries are organized by regions. The admins of each site can also update the information about the site.
To summarize the design, the applications supports only one GOC (Grid Operation Center), assuming that it is used for only one grid. It can have several ROCs (Regional Operation Centers), each ROC can have several countries, and each country can have several sites.
Each ROC, country and site can have one (or more) admins, which are able to modify the data of the structure (record) which they admin (ROC, country or site), and to manage substructures as well.
Managing substructures means that they can also validate/appoint the admins of the substructures, e.g. a country admin can validate/appoint the site admins. The admins are recognized automatically by their certificate (without the need to use passwords).
For each structure (ROC, country, site), contact info about it are stored, including email and phone. For the sites, general info about it are stored, contact info, info about its resources and capacities, site contacts, site downtimes, and info about its nodes. For more details see the DB design: hgsm_design.sql.
In the pages where a user has edit rights (in the node where he is admin and in all the subnodes), an Edit button is displayed. Clicking in this button, the page will be displayed in the edit mode, where the fields of information can be modified, the rows of the lists can be edited or deleted, new rows can be added in the lists, etc. The id and the admins of a node can be modified only by an admin of the parent node.
Main features:
- Has a database with information about a hierarchical structure (GOC-->ROCs-->Countries-->Sites-->Nodes).
- This information is published to the www by a web application.
- Each node of the tree has also one or more admins, which can modify the data of the node which they admin, and also the data of the subnodes.
- The admins of a node can appoint (set/modify/delete) the admins of the subnodes and leave up to them the modification/update of the subnode information (to make their job easier and for decentralization).
- Authentication (recognizing that somebody is admin of a node and has the rights to modify it) is done automatically by the application, using personal certificates, which are issued and verified by a certain certification authority. This means that everybody that is an admin, must have a valid certificate installed in his browser.
- The application also supports i18n and l10n (is multilingual, can be translated into several languages).
Enhancements:
- This release includes full internationalization and localization support for Albanian and Croatian.
- It also contains bdii.php?type1+type2+type3 and ldap2mysql.py the scripts.
- Some small improvements and bugfixes were made.

TcosMonitor is a teacher management of a thin client classroom.
