Free support groups software for linux

LW Support project is a C++ support library for Linux.
Although it has gone through many iterations of design and goal, LW Support is designed to expose C library functionality in an object-oriented manner (for example, by providing classes for POSIX I/O).
In fact, one of its main features is the I/O hierarchy it uses -- objects such as TCP sockets and serial ports share the same base class.
Enhancements:
Major changes:
- IOListen and IOCallback, deprecated for a long time, have now been completely removed.
- The build system has been upgraded.
- Documentation is now packaged separately.
All changes:
- IOListen and IOCallback, which were deprecated, have been removed. The corresponding interface from NetServer was also removed. The I/O loopback example which used these was removed.
- The build system has been upgraded. It now has proper support for shared library naming semantics and an improved pkg-config script.
- A dependency on libutf8++ has been introduced. Over time, the built-in string conversion routines will be deprecated in favour of libutf8++.
- Minor build fixes which came to light with a new compiler/64-bit architecture.
- Pre-built documentation is no longer included in the source tarball, but is available separately.

SimpleGUI Support Module project is a simple GUI widget set for SDL/OpenGL.
It is useful for any simple OpenGL apps that needs a simple GUI.
Getting the latest version through SVN and install it:
- Download:
# svn co https://www.cs.binghamton.edu/svn/simple
- Compile:
# cd simple
# make
Enhancements:
- Fixed a minor error in the SimpleGUI Makefile.

Automated support for compound RPC calls is a project which augments RPCGEN to support NFSv4-style compound procedures.

NFSv4 specifies that the RPC calls be batched into a "compound" call. There is no support for this in RPCGEN.

By rearranging the ONC IDL for NFSv4 into AutoGen definitions, these templates will emit the original IDL *plus* all the code to package, send, distribute, collect, return, and dispatch the results.

The distributed program author merely needs to call and supply server procedures for the routines specified in the IDL.

Templates for these calls and service routines is provided, too. The NFSv4 definitions are included.

Support Incident Tracker (or SiT!) is a Web-based application for tracking technical support calls or emails.
Support Incident Tracker project can manage contacts, sites, technical support contracts, and support incidents in one place. You can send and receive email directly from SiT!, attaching files and recording every communication in the incident log.
SiT! is aware of Service Level Agreements, and incidents are flagged if they stray outside of them.
Support Incident Tracker grew out of an application developed by Salford Software since 2000 called Webtrack and is used in-house by Support Engineers to easily track support incidents.

Sudo (su "do") allows a system administrator to give certain users (or groups of users) the ability to run some (or all) commands as root or another user while logging the commands and arguments.
The Sudo project is free software and is distributed under an ISC-style license.
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for IPv6.
- It has a fix for the installation path of the sudo_noexec shared object and a change to support compilation on old-style K&R compilers.

WWW::Yahoo::Groups is an automated access to Yahoo! Groups archives.

SYNOPSIS

my $y = WWW::Yahoo::Groups->new();
$y->login( $user => $pass );
$y->list( Jade_Pagoda );
my $email = $y->fetch_message( 2345 );

# Error catching
my $email = eval { $y->fetch_message( 93848 ) };
if ( $@ and ref $@ and $@->isa(X::WWW::Yahoo::Groups) )
{
warn "Problem: ".$@->error;
}

WWW::Yahoo::Groups retrieves messages from the archive of Yahoo Groups. It provides a simple OO interface to logging in and retrieving said messages which you may then do with as you will.

Things it does

Handles access to restricted archives. It lets you login.
Handles the intermittent advertisements. It notes that it got one and progresses straight to the message.
Handle adult confirmation requests. It just goes straight on.
Handles attachments. We get the source which happens to be the raw stuff.
Sanity checking. Could be improved, but it will generally barf if it doesnt understand something.
Header restoration. Ive found that some groups archives have unusually corrupted headers. Evidently it would be beneficial to restore these headers. As far as I can tell, it comes from not being a moderator on the lists in question.

USAGE

Try to be a well behaved bot and sleep() for a few seconds (at least) after doing things. Its considered polite. Theres an autosleep method that should be useful for this. Recently, this has been set to a default of 1 second. Feel free to tweak if necessary.

If youre used to seeing munged email addresses when you view the message archive (i.e. youre not a moderator or owner of the group) then youll be pleased to know that WWW::Yahoo::Groups can demunge those email addresses.

All exceptions are subclasses of X::WWW::Yahoo::Groups, itself a subclass of Exception::Class. See WWW::Yahoo::Groups::Errors for details.

WWW::Google::Groups is a Perl module for Google Groups Agent.

BROWSING

use WWW::Google::Groups;

$agent = new WWW::Google::Groups
(
server => groups.google.com,
proxy => my.proxy.server:port,
);


$group = $agent->select_group(comp.lang.perl.misc);

$group->starting_thread(0); # Set the first thread to fetch
# Default starting thread is 0

while( $thread = $group->next_thread() ){
while( $article = $thread->next_article() ){

# the returned $article is an Email::Simple object
# See Email::Simple for its methods

print join q/ /, $thread->title, header(From).>, $/;
}
}
If you push raw to the argument stack of $thread->next_article(), it will return the raw format of messages.
while( $thread = $group->next_thread() ){
while( $article = $thread->next_article(raw) ){
print $article;
}
}
Even, you can use this more powerful method. It will try to mirror the whole newsgroup and save the messages to a Unix mbox.
$agent->save2mbox(
group => comp.lang.perl.misc,
starting_thread => 0,
max_article_count => 10000,
max_thread_count => 1000,
target_mbox => perl.misc.mbox,
);
