FileCentral 0.0.8
Filecentral is a filesystem browser and file manager. more>>
Filecentral is programmed in C, the best programming language to shoot yourself in the foot.
gvfsfind 0.1.4
gvfsfind searches for files in a directory hierarchy. more>>
For example, gvfsfind.py ftp://video.foo.org --type d --print prints all directories on the FTP server. gvfsfind.py ssh://skipper/srv/movie --type f -name ".*.vob" --exec "gnomevfs-copy %u ." copies all files ending with .vob from the host skippers directory /srv/movie, including its sub-directories.
Enhancements:
- A makefile has been added to simplify release.
- This release is packaged as a tar.gz archive.
- Support has been added for filenames including #.
- Support for use as a Python module has been added.

VFSJFileChooser 0.0.3
VFSJFileChooser functions as a Java Swing Component to enable you to browse both remote(FTP, SFTP, WEBDAV, etc.) and local filesystems. more>>
VFSJFileChooser 0.0.3 functions as a Java Swing Component to enable you to browse both remote(FTP, SFTP, WEBDAV, etc.) and local filesystems. It is based on Apache Commons VFS library. VFSJFileChooser is distributed under Apache License 2.0.
VFSJFileChooser was first started to be a plugin of XPontus XML Editor. Later, it was decided to create a library which wouldn't be tied to XPontus API.
VFSJFileChooser supports all the file systems available in Commons VFS. You can think of VFSJFileChooser as a javax.swing.JFileChooser with the ability to browse remote locations such as FTP, SFTP, etc. VFSJFileChooser has not been designed as a file transfer tool, however it can be easily implemented (2 VFSJFileChooser components and some buttons calling commons-vfs API methods, a queue for file operations, etc.).
Major Features:
- Seamless filesystem browsing
- Standard java file browsing with abstraction to the filesystem. You browse seamlessly local and remote file systems the same way.
- VFSJFileChooser supports many protocols such as Webdav, SFTP, FTP, SMB, etc. Please have a look at Apache Commons VFS supported protocols. Starting from 0.0.3 release, VFSJFileChooser is using webdavclient4j for Webdav support.
- Easy i18n support
- There are translations for English, French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish per default. You can add a new language to VFSJFileChooser by dropping a new resource bundle in your classpath.
- A default accessory panel
- A toolbar provides access to a bookmarks manager and a connection wizard.
- No inheritance of some JFileChooser known bugs
- VFSJFileChooser doesn't suffer from the infamous JFileChooser freezing bug. Time to time, JFileChooser can hang for 10 seconds(even on a quad core!). The bug seems to be coming back all the time, but only on Windows.
- Flexibility
- Access to the navigation panel and the navigation buttons(new folder, etc.)
- Simple and familiar API
- VFSJFileChooser is based on the standard javax.swing.JFileChooser code. The main difference is that VFSJFileChooser uses Commons VFS FileObject instead of java.io.File.
Enhancements:
- Lots of speed : The latest version of VFSJFileChooser is too slow. The code execution have been improved at many places.
- The navigation icons are now visible all the time. No exceptions or strange issues related to the look and feel. The component use a "MetalLookAndFeel" layout but when using the system look and feel, the controls look native.
- The VFSUtils class supports the methods setFileSystemManager and setFileSystemOptions. You can set those values at anytime. When the VFSJFileChooser class is instanciated, it checks if VFSUtils has a filesystemmanager set, if not it creates one. Files are always resolved with the FileSystemOptions object in VFSUtils. Some convenience methods such as getInputStream and getOutputStream have been added in VFSUtils.
- Upgraded to commons-vfs 2.0 snapshot with patches applied for URL redirection and WebDav.
- Switched from Jakarta Slide to webdavclient4j (http://webdavclient4j.sf.net) as Jakarta Slide project is dead.
- Cleaner but incompatible API(Enums instead of int fields) : Enums are introduced for few classes which breaks the API. The method setFileselectionMode of VFSJFileChooser now accepts an Enum as parameter. The methods "showOpenDialog" and "showSaveDialog" return an Enum too.
- Sorting support : The details table has now sorting support again in the jdk5 branch. The jdk5 branch is the most up to date(patches, general improvements, etc.). The jdk5 will become the default branch to ensure code compatibility.
- The bookmarks dialog scrolling issues have been fixed. The bookmarks are still not serialized using Java Serialization. They are now stored in XML do avoid deserialization issues when the bookmarks API change.

ngacl Beta2
ngacl project is an effort to give Linux and its filesystems a full blown ACL system, similar to that used by NFSv4 and Windows. more>>
With this software, you have 13 different access rights, dynamic inheritance, and audit ACLs. The implementation is filesystem-independent because the kernel parts are an LSM module.
In addition, there is a Samba-VFS module that enables you to alter ACLs with the Windows ACL editor.
Enhancements:
- This release adds working audit ACLs, stability, and semantic enhancements.
FreeBSD 6.2
FreeBSD is an advanced operating system for Intel ia32 compatible, DEC Alpha, and PC-98 architectures. more>>
It is derived from BSD, the version of UNIX developed at the University of California, Berkeley. It is developed and maintained by a large team of individuals. Additional platforms are in various stages of development.
FreeBSD offers advanced networking, performance, security and compatibility features today which are still missing in other operating systems, even some of the best commercial ones.
FreeBSD makes an ideal Internet or Intranet server. It provides robust network services under the heaviest loads and uses memory efficiently to maintain good response times for thousands of simultaneous user processes.
The quality of FreeBSD combined with todays low-cost, high-speed PC hardware makes FreeBSD a very economical alternative to commercial UNIX workstations. It is well-suited for a great number of both desktop and server applications.
FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of media including CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, floppy disk, magnetic tape, an MS-DOS partition, or if you have a network connection, you can install it directly over anonymous FTP or NFS.
While you might expect an operating system with these features to sell for a high price, FreeBSD is available free of charge and comes with full source code.
It is easy to contribute to FreeBSD. All you need to do is find a part of FreeBSD which you think could be improved and make those changes (carefully and cleanly) and submit that back to the Project by means of send-pr or a committer, if you know one. This could be anything from documentation to artwork to source code.
Even if you are not a programmer, there are other ways to contribute to FreeBSD. The FreeBSD Foundation is a non-profit organization for which direct contributions are fully tax deductible.
Main features:
- A merged virtual memory and filesystem buffer cache continuously tunes the amount of memory used for programs and the disk cache. As a result, programs receive both excellent memory management and high performance disk access, and the system administrator is freed from the task of tuning cache sizes.
- Compatibility modules enable programs for other operating systems to run on FreeBSD, including programs for Linux, SCO UNIX, and System V Release 4.
- Soft Updates allows improved filesystem performance without sacrificing safety and reliability. It analyzes meta-data filesystem operations to avoid having to perform all of those operations synchronously. Instead, it maintains internal state about pending meta-data operations and uses this information to cache meta-data, rewrite meta-data operations to combine subsequent operations on the same files, and reorder meta-data operations so that they may be processed more efficiently. Features such as background filesystem checking and file system snapshots are built on the consistency and performance foundations of soft updates.
- File system snapshots, permitting administrators to take atomic file system snapshots for backup purposes using the free space in the file system, as well as facilitating background fsck, which allows the system to reach multiuser mode without waiting on file system cleanup operations following power outages.
- Support for IP Security (IPsec) allows improved security in networks, and support for the next-generation Internet Protocol, IPv6. The FreeBSD IPSEC implementation includes support for a broad range of accelerated crypto hardware.
- Out of the box support for IPv6 via the KAME IPv6 stack allows FreeBSD to be seamlessly integrated into next generation networking environments. FreeBSD even ships with many applications extended to support IPv6!
- Multi-threaded SMP architecture capable of executing the kernel in parallel on multiple processors, and with kernel preemption, allowing high priority kernel tasks to preempt other kernel activity, reducing latency. This includes a multi-threaded network stack and a multi-threaded virtual memory subsystem. With FreeBSD 6.x, support for a fully parallel VFS allows the UFS file system to run on multiple processors simultaneously, permitting load sharing of CPU-intensive I/O optimization.
- M:N application threading via pthreads permitting threads to execute on multiple CPUs in a scaleable manner, mapping many user threads onto a small number of Kernel Schedulable Entities. By adopting the Scheduler Activation model, the threading approach can be adapted to the specific requirements of a broad range of applications.
- Netgraph pluggable network stack allows developers to dynamically and easily extend the network stack through clean layered network abstractions. Netgraph nodes can implement a broad range of new network services, including encapsulation, tunneling, encryption, and performance adaptation. As a result, rapid prototyping and production deployment of enhanced network services can be performed far more easily and with fewer bugs.
- TrustedBSD MAC Framework extensible kernel security, which allows developers to customize the operating system security model for specific environments, from creating hardening policies to deploying mandatory labeled confidentiality of integrity policies. Sample seucrity policies include Multi-Level Security (MLS), and Biba Integrity Protection. Third party modules include SEBSD, a FLASK-based implementation of Type Enforcement.
- GEOM pluggable storage layer, which permits new storage services to be quickly developed and cleanly integrated into the FreeBSD storage subsystem. GEOM provides a consistent and coherrent model for discovering and layering storage services, making it possible to layer services such as RAID and volume management easily.
- FreeBSDs GEOM-Based Disk Encryption (GBDE), provides strong cryptographic protection using the GEOM Framework, and can protect file systems, swap devices, and other use of storage media.
- Kernel Queues allow programs to respond more efficiently to a variety of asynchronous events including file and socket IO, improving application and system performance.
- Accept Filters allow connection-intensive applications, such as web servers, to cleanly push part of their functionality into the operating system kernel, improving performance.
gnome-vfsmm 2.18.0
gnome-vfsmm are C++ wrappers for gnome-vfs. more>>
Any help is welcomed. File bugs with patches (see http://www.gtkmm.org/bugs.shtml for patching procedure), and give suggestions.
Installation:
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.
Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.
4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean. There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
SMBD Audit 0.2 RC1
SMBD Audit application is a set of VFS audit module for Samba 3 and web frontend to view and search samba audit logs. more>>
Module stores logs directly into MySQL database with libmysqlclient.
You can search database by Login, Address, Share, Action, Log Message(specify filename or directory name), From and To Date.
Here is a very short list of what SMBD Audit package includes, and what it does.
- a VFS audit module, to provide logging to MySQL database
- a web front end to view and search logs.
ASFS filesystem driver 1.0 Beta 12
ASFS filesystem driver is an Amiga Smart FileSystem driver for Linux. more>>
ASFS - Amiga Smart File System - Linux implementation
Version 1.0beta8 in "read-only mode" should be considered as the lasted stable version of ASFS driver.
It is available for Linux kernel version 2.6.x.
From version 1.0 there is also full write support. Use it with care. It is in EXPERIMETAL stage and COULD be DANGEROUS.
Remember! YOU USE THIS DRIVER AT YOUR OWN RISK. Read included docs for
more details.
Enhancements:
- The code was updated to match changes in the VFS of Linux kernel 2.6.19.
FlyBird 0.2.1
FlyBird project is a two-panel fully professional file manager supporting tab based console and gnome-vfs. more>>
Main features:
- tab based console;
- gnome-vfs support (network support under development);
- file change monitoring;
- threads for directory loading;
- some Nautilus plugins support.
gnome-vfs-obexftp 0.4
gnome-vfs-obexftp contains extra packages for extentions to GnomeVFS. more>>
Note that if youre not using the standard dbus system bus address, you need to set the environment variable DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS to the path to the system dbus address to use, e.g:
export DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket
for example in the login script.
If the variable is not set, the OBEX module will fallback to the standard name in $(localstatedir), e.g. /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket.
Valgrind 3.2.3
Valgrind is an award-winning suite of tools for debugging and profiling Linux programs. more>>
Valgrind distribution currently includes three tools: a memory error detectors, a cache (time) profiler and a heap (space) profiler.
Valgrind is Open Source / Free Software, and is freely available under the GNU General Public License.
Main features:
- Valgrind will save you hours of debugging time. With Valgrind tools you can automatically detect many memory management and threading bugs. This gives you confidence that your programs are free of many common bugs, some of which would take hours to find manually, or never be found at all. You can find and eliminate bugs before they become a problem.
- Valgrind can help you speed up your programs. With Valgrind tools you can also perform very detailed profiling to help speed up your programs.
- Valgrind is free. Free-as-in-speech: you can download it, read the source code, make modifications, and pass them on, all within the limits of the GNU GPL. And free-as-in-beer: we arent charging for it.
- Valgrind runs on x86/Linux, AMD64/Linux and PPC32/Linux, several of the most popular platforms in use. Valgrind works with all the major Linux distributions, including Red Hat, SuSE, Debian, Gentoo, Slackware, Mandrake, etc.
- Valgrind is easy to use. Valgrind uses dynamic binary translation, so you dont need to modify, recompile or relink your applications. Just prefix your command line with valgrind and everything works.
- Valgrind is not a toy. Valgrind is first and foremost a debugging and profiling system for large, complex programs. We have had feedback from users working on projects with up to 25 million lines of code. It has been used on projects of all sizes, from single-user personal projects, to projects with hundreds of programmers.
- Valgrind is suitable for any type of software. Valgrind has been used on almost every kind of software imaginable: desktop applications, libraries, databases, games, web browsers, network servers, distributed control systems, virtual reality frameworks, transaction servers, compilers, interpreters, virtual machines, telecom applications, embedded software, medical imaging, scientific programming, signal processing, video/audio programs, NASA Mars lander vision and rover navigation systems, business intelligence software, financial/banking software, operating system daemons, etc, etc. See a list of projects using Valgrind.
- Valgrind is widely used. Valgrind has been used by thousands of programmers across the world. We have received feedback from users in over 25 countries, including: Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, UK, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, USA, Australia, India, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and Israel.
- Valgrind works with programs written in any language. Because Valgrind works directly with program binaries, it works with programs written in any programming language, be they compiled, just-in-time compiled, or interpreted. The Valgrind tools are largely aimed at programs written in C and C++, because programs written in these languages tend to have the most bugs! But it can, for example, be used to debug and profile systems written in a mixture of languages. Valgrind has been used on programs written partly or entirely in C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, assembly code, Fortran, Ada, and many others.
- Valgrind debugs and profiles your entire program. Unlike tools that require a recompilation step, Valgrind gives you total debugging and profiling coverage of every instruction executed by your program, even within system libraries. You can even use Valgrind on programs for which you dont have the source code.
- Valgrind can be used with other tools. Valgrind can start GDB and attach it to your program at the point(s) where errors are detected, so that you can poke around and figure out what was going on at the time.
- Valgrind is extensible. Valgrind consists of the Valgrind core, which provides a synthetic software CPU, and Valgrind tools, which plug into the core, and instrument and analyse the running program. Anyone can write powerful new tools that add arbitrary instrumentation to programs. This is much easier than writing such tools from scratch. This makes Valgrind ideal for experimenting with new kinds of debuggers, profilers, and similar tools.
- Valgrind is actively maintained. The Valgrind developers are constantly working to fix bugs, improve Valgrind, and ensure it works as new Linux distributions and libraries come out. There are also mailing lists you can subscribe to, and contact if youre having problems.
- So whats the catch? The main one is that programs run significantly more slowly under Valgrind. Depending on which tool you use, the slowdown factor can range from 5--100. This slowdown is similar to that of similar debugging and profiling tools. But since you dont have to use Valgrind all the time, this usually isnt too much of a problem. The hours youll save debugging will more than make up for it.
Enhancements:
- 3.2.3 is almost identical to 3.2.2, but fixes a regression that unfortunately crept into 3.2.2. The regression causes an assertion failure in Valgrind when running certain obscure SSE code fragments on x86-linux and amd64-linux. Please do not use (or package) 3.2.2; instead use 3.2.3.
FreeSBIE 2.0.1
FreeSBIE is a LiveCD based on the FreeBSD Operating system. more>>
The only thing you have to do is to insert a FreeSBIE cd in your cdrom drive.
Enhancements:
- You may remember that FreeSBIE 2.0 was released on January 15th. It turned out it had some annoying bugs, one of which was especially serious, as it prevented USB mice from working. This fact led us, the FreeSBIE staff, to develop a bug-fix release, 2.0.1. All the bugs that have been pointed out were solved and this release has been more thoroughly tested, to offer a better FreeSBIE experience to our users. FreeSBIE 2.0.1-RELEASE (code name Black Mamba) is based on FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, both in terms of sources and packages. It contains more than 450 pieces and 1.3 GB of software, all in a single CD-ROM.
FerrisSambaModule 0.1.0
FerrisSambaModule is a VFS module for Samba 3.x. more>>
Thus, anything libferris can access can be shared as a filesystem via Samba, including LDAP, PostgreSQL, XML files, sleepycat dbXML database, evolution mail client, and queries against libferris various indexes.
Enhancements:
- STLport use was made optional.
- Some fixes were made for mounting eaquery:// as a Samba share.
GNU CD Input and Control Library 0.78.2
The GNU Compact Disc Input and Control library encapsulates CD-ROM reading and control for applications wishing to be oblivious. more>>
Some support for on-disk CD-image types like CDRWINs BIN/CUE format, cdrdaos TOC format, and Neros NRG format is available. Therefore, applications that use this library also have the ability to read on-disk CD images as though they were CDs.
A library for working with ISO-9660 filesystems (libiso9660) is included. A generic interface for issuing MMC (multimedia commands) is also part of the libcdio library.
The cdparanoia library and cdparanoia command are included making this the only single-source cdparanoia that works on FreeBSD, cygwin, Solaris, BSDI as well as GNU/Linux.
Some uses of the library:
- Video CD authoring and ripping tools VCDImager
- VCD and/or CD-DA plugins for media players:
xine
videolans vlc.
gmerlin.
mplayerxp.
- kiso, a KDE GUI for creating, extracting and editing ISO 9660 images
- a Samba vfs module that that allows exporting a CD without mounting it
Utility programs in the libcdio package are:
cd-info
a program which displays CD information: number of tracks, CD-format and if possible basic information about the format. If libcddb is available, the cd-info program will display CDDB matches on CD-DA discs. And if a new enough version of libvcdinfo is available (from the vcdimager project), then cd-info shows basic VCD information.
cd-drive
a program which decribes CD-ROM/DVD drive characteristics
cd-paranoia
a program for extracting audio from a CD in a jitter- and error-tolerant way.
cd-read
a program for performing low-level block reading of a CD or CD image
cdda-player
a curses program using the audio controls to play a CD-DA through the audio output port.
iso-info
a program for displaying ISO-9660 information from an ISO-9660 image
iso-read
a program for extracting files from an ISO-9660 image.
Enhancements:
- A minor compilation problem was fixed.
