Free provided software for linux

Luau is an attempt at breaking up the old-style of software updates - browsing web sites, checking freshmeat.net, subscribing to autoupdate services provided by individual distrbutors, etc. - by providing a decentralized approach to software distribution.

In short, Luau allows individual software developers to simply (very simply) provide an outlet for disseminating updates (both in the form of software upgrades and text messages) to their userbase.

TclMilter is a package for Tcl (written in C) that implements an interface to SendMails Milter (Mail Filter) API for developing custom scripted message rewriting and spam filtering processes.
A thread-enabled Tcl build is required due to Milters threading requirements. However, you can only run, configure, or register callbacks for a milter from the first thread/interpreter the package is loaded into.
If you need to be able to stop the milter from within Tcl, you can load the package in another thread to do so. Only the "milter stop" command will function in secondary threads.
This extension is provided under the GNU General Public License (GPL) (see the file "license.terms" for details).
Main features:
- The smfi_opensocket command is not provided, only milter main as an interface to smfi_main.
- The smfi_setconn, smfi_settimeout, smfi_setbacklog and smfi_setdbg commands, as well as settings normally provided through smfi_main are instead provided as milter configure options.
- The smfi_register command is provided as milter register; however, unlike libmilter its possible to register and unregister callbacks at any time, rather than just once prior to calling main.
- There isnt a single data storage value for smfi_setpriv; rather, TclMilters milter setpriv command uses a hash table so you can set individual, custom variables with data to associate with a context.
- The context provided to callbacks is not simply a pointer, but is an actual Tcl command that can be used to interact with the context.

GNUsTicker is a GNOME panel applet RSS aggregator like KNewsTicker for KDE.

It may be extended for feeding from differente sources (an example for POP3 mail server is provided).

The RivaTV project aims to provide driver support for nVidia based graphics cards with video-in feature and some of the video capture chips that come on such cards.

The driver also activates tuner and audio support provided by the V4L project.

Want to watch or grab video? Then please try RivaTV! Many of the earlier cards are supported, but others, including NVTV "personal cinema" based cards are not yet.

6tunnel allows you to use services provided by IPv6 hosts with IPv4-only applications and vice-versa. It can bind to any of your IPv4 (default) or IPv6 addresses and forward all data to IPv4 or IPv6 (default) host.
Enhancements:
- changed license to GPL version 2. There was no license information before which caused confusion. The missing features have been rewritten from scratch. If any offending code is still here, please let me know. Ive done my best, but I havent used any version control 5 years ago.
- changed e-mail address.
- fixed source mapping bug,
- SIGHUP reloads map file.

The purpose of SingleSub is to a provide a set of tools to make it easier to subscribe to RSS feeds.

It consists of one Perl script and a set of XSLT templates, which provide RSS, HTML and Javascript tools used to subscribe to RSS feeds without restricting them to a specific aggregator.

Instead, a dynamic list of aggregators is provided for the user to choose from. This list of RSS aggregators and how to subscribe to them is provided via several XML formats, so other tool developers can use them as well.

Asftavm is an AfterStep dock/wharf app which displays all the information provided by the monitoring hardware you have installed in your computer which is supported by lmsensors.
It also displays the temperature of your harddisks as reported by hddtemp. You can configure the time interval of the data capturing process.
Enhancements:
- Splint warnings were fixed. Harddisk temperatures are now displayed.
