- get rid of limitation in use of -a option.
- gfarmfs-exec.sh, mount.gfarmfs and umount.gfarmfs are installed by `make install.
Documentation
- README: add examples of mounting gfarmfs.
Bug fix
- fix a bug such that `umask is not effective on gfarmfs.
- fix a bug such that write(2) cannot write anymore after read(2) gets EOF.
- If filesystem nodes are added or removed, statfs(2) can calculate exactly.

CTWM Themes System in short CTS is a set of CTWM configuration files and shell scripts that adds basic themes-like capabilities to your ctwm window manager.
CTS caracteristics:
- themes are split into look themes and feel themes. Look themes change colors and visual aspect of the window manager, and feel themes change the way you move or place windows, open the menus, etc.
- automatically generated menus allows you to switch look or feel themes. Your choice is saved for your future X sessions.
- you can change the background image used with the current look theme using a menu generated from the images stored in the Backgrounds directory.
- adding a new theme is as easy as unpacking it in the Themes-Look or Themes-Feel directory and restarting ctwm.
How does it work ?
The CTS package provides a .ctwm directory you must place in your home directory.
This directory provides a ctwmrc file that will include other configuration files from the include directory and from the themes directories. Using the m4 preprocessor, the configuration files will read the Themes-Look and Themes-Feel directories and the Backgrounds directory and generate menus allowing you to switch themes and background images.
When you choose a theme in the menus, CTWM calls the "settheme" script that simply change the $HOME/.ctwm/Themes-*/Current link to the new selected theme directory.
The wallpapers are switched using the "setbg" script that change the root windows wallpaper, and place a link to the image in the directory of the current look theme.
The script supports multiple screens, so if you have multiple screens, using the menu will change the wallpaper of the current screen.
Enhancements:
- This version provides many minor enhancements, file name changes, and better themes, but above all, themes are now split into two kinds: "look themes" that change the visual aspects of the window manager, and "feel themes" that change the key bindings, the way windows are raised, etc.
- That way, you can change the colors of the windows while keeping your preferred focus and window raise methods.

rootpretender is a system that enables special file operations such as the creation of block special and character special device nodes and unlimited chown()ing of files for non-root users of Unix systems.
rootpretender does this by faking special file operations. For example, chown() is not executed, and mknod() creates regular files instead of device nodes. These operations are remembered, so next time a process under rootpretenders control examines an affected file with stat() or a similar system call, the fake information is returned.
It uses LD_PRELOAD and includes patches for rsync 2.6.6 and rsync 2.6.9 for use on systems without LD_PRELOAD support. These make it possible to copy file ownership and device nodes even if root access is not available on the target.
Enhancements:
- changed fake dir format to binary
- added mknod() support
- patched into rsync-2.6.6 and rsync-2.6.9

Open Tournament System project is a Web-based tournament system.

Open Tournament System is a full tournament engine that supports modular additions of new tournament types. It features team, single, and draft tournaments.

This site requires to be at the Url root or its own subdomain.

Something like:
- www.yoursite.com
or
- tournament.yoursite.com

It can not be like this:
- www.yoursite.comtourny
or
- sub.yoursite.comtourny

Root Park project will build a network that will stand the test of time.
RootPark is a Civilization-like game based on the history of computers and networks. You can play it with as many other players as you want since it has full networking capabilities.
The game begins in 1960, when computers started to become very powerful. RootPark provides you the opportunity to experience these historical years, and a large range of possibilities.
This source and binaries of the game will be available soon. It will be playable on Linux, BSD (and surely other UNIX like OSF1).
Main features:
- strategy game, turn based.
- topic : history of computers and networks.
- multiplayer (using local or internet networks)
- fully playable on Linux and NetBSD(and surely some others Unix).
- programmed using C language.
- opensource game, everybody can improve it
- uses GTK X-Windows library.
- uses 16 millions colors (24 bits)
- you can change the themes of the graphical interface
- you can import your own graphisms
- communication between players during the game (like irc)
- generator of random map whatever the number of players.
- handles the visibility of units and hosts (fog of war)
- interactive help online
- complete encyclopedy on the history of computers

Root Actions servicemenu is a replacement/alternate for the default Edit-as-root servicemenu.
It allows an admin user to perform several root only actions from konqueror (It of course asks for a password)
Usage:
The following actions can be performed (see the screenshot):
Edit as Text: Open file in Kate editor as root (shown with files)
Edit as Hex: Open file in KHexEdit (you may need to install khexedit package from universe) editor as root (shown with files)
Open in Konqueror: Open file/folder in root konqueror window
Change owner to root: Changes ownership to root:root
Change owner to user: Changes ownership to 1000:1000 (the default user)
The menu can be localized by editing the servicemenu .desktop files
Installation:
uncompress the two .desktop files to ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus
Any comments, criticism and improvement suggestions welcomed.
Enhancements:
- As this seems to run as it should (and I havent gotten any show stopper bug reports), I feel courageous enough to remove the BETA status.
- Removed Preferred Applications section from the perl script. To change the default applications used by the menu, edit the desktop files instead. (This allows for different application preferences for different users and easy creation of custom Open with [application] entries to the menu.) See the README for customization howto.
- Fixed a bug with Rename when multiple items were chosen but the batch renamer application didnt start (the simple rename dialog was started instead).
- Added Dutch translation

Mini Gtk+ File Manager is a lightweight file manager for X. To achieve this goal some code from the Busybox project was used.
It builds with Gtk+ 1.2.10 or 2.x libraries. It contains also a Mini Gtk Text Editor applet.
Installation:
First of all get the Gtk+ 1.2.10 or Gtk+ 2.x libraries
(runtime and development), if they are not already
installed on your system.
Installing Xfprot:
tar -zxvf gtk_file_manager-xx.tar.gz
To compile gtk_file_manager ,cd to the gtk_file_manager dir and just type:
su root
(and provide root password if prompted)
./configure
The configure script if used in a non interactive mode accepts this command line options:
-h, --help print this help, then exit
--with-gtk1 use Gtk+-1.x libraries
--with-gtk2 use Gtk+-2.x libraries
--with-debug enable debug mode
--without-debug disable debug mode
Then type:
make
If you dont receive any error message, you can install gtk_file_manager typing:
make install
or
make install-strip (to install a stripped version of the binary file).
Please remove previous installed versions of gtk_file_manager with make uninstall (see below).
The binaries are installed by default in /usr/local/gtkfm/ with links in /usr/local/bin/ so you have to add /usr/local/bin to your PATH variable if it is not there already. If you want to change the default install path, change the line:
PREFIX=/usr/local
in the Makefile.
You can uninstall gtk_file_manager any time with:
su root
(and provide root password if prompted)
make uninstall
Enhancements:
- Support for the GTK 1.x libraries was dropped.
- I18n support was improved.
- Menu navigation and keyboard shortcuts were improved.
- Some minor bugs were fixed and the code was cleaned up.
