Config::AST
- Change bugtracker address.
This perl module aims to provide a generalized implementation of parse tree for various configuration files. It does not implement parser for any existing configuration file format. Instead, it provides an API that can be used by parser implementors to build internal representation for the particular configuration file format.
Config::HAProxy
- Handle the 'resolvers' section. - New class methods for declaring (and undeclaring) sections. - Fix changing the argv of a Node.
A perl module supplying a parser that converts the HAProxy configuration file to a parse tree and provides methods for various operations on this tree, such as: searching, modifying and saving it to a file. This module is superseded by Config::Proxy, which is fully compatible with it and provides a generalized API for editing configuration files of HAProxy and Pound.
Config::Parser
- Change bugtracker address.
Config::Parser provides a framework for writing configuration file parsers. It is an intermediate layer between the abstract syntax tree (Config::AST) and implementation of a parser for a particular configuration file format. The package provides also Config::Parser::Ini – a configuration file parser for ini-style files.
Config::Parser::ldap
- Change bugtracker address
A Perl module for parsing the ldap.conf configuration file.
Config::Proxy
- original revision
File::BackupCopy
- Change bugtracker address.
Perl extension for creating backup file copies. Three backup naming schemes are supported: simple backup creates backup file name by appending single tilde character to the original file name, numbered backup creates backup name by suffixing the original file name with .~N~, where N is a decimal number. Finally, automatic backup selects numbered scheme if at least one numbered backup file already exists and falls back to the simple backup otherwise.
aspell-gcide
* New options gcide-include-tags and gcide-exclude-tags These options control which tags will be eligible for spell-checking.
A filter for spell-checking GCIDE dictionary files with GNU Aspell.
gamma
GAMMA stands for a Guile Archive of Multiple Modules with an A just for the ‘A’ of it. It contains a set of useful Guile modules. In particular, it is used by runasimi.org and ellinika.gnu.org.ua.
gdbm
* New gdbm_load option: --update The --update (-U) option instructs gdbm_load to update an existing database. * Fix semantics of gdbm_load -r The --replace (-r) is valid only when used together with --update. * Use getline in gdbmtool shell. * New function: gdbm_load_from_file_ext In contrast to gdbm_load and gdbm_load_from_file, which derive the value of the flag parameter for gdbm_open from the value of their "replace" argument, this function allows the caller to specify it explicitly. The prototype is: int gdbm_load_from_file_ext (GDBM_FILE *pdbf, FILE *fp, int flags, int replace, int meta_mask, unsigned long *line); * Bugfixes ** Fix binary dump format for key and/or data of zero size. (see https://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/bugs/?565) ** Fix location tracking and recover command in gdbtool. (see https://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/bugs/?566) ** Fix possible buffer underflow in gdbmload. ** Ensure any padding bytes in avail_elem structure are filled with 0. (fixes https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1031276) ** Improve the documentation.
GNU dbm is a library of database functions that use extendible hashing and works similar to the standard UNIX dbm functions. These routines are provided to a programmer needing to create and manipulate a hashed database.
gint
GINT provides a framework for easy integration of Guile into arbitrary software projects. It includes Autoconf macros for detecting the presence of Guile on the system, detecting its version number and location of its components, a set of Makefile and Automake rules for snarfing C sources, i.e. generating auxiliary files (.x files, containing symbol information for Guile interpreter, and .doc files, containing information about Guile primitives, their arguments and docstrings), and a C lexer program for extracting docstrings from a C file.
gnulib
Gnulib is a central location for common GNU code, which is shared among many GNU (and non-GNU) packages.
grecs
Grecs is a library for parsing structured configuration files from C programs. A structured configuration file has hierarchical structure, with block statements enclosing lower-level statements. Such configurations files are used by many programs, such as, e.g. Bind or Dico.
gsc
This project is decommissioned. It’s repository is retained as a historic reference only.
imprimatur
Imprimatur provides Texinfo macros for various editing tasks such as adding editor notes and annotations, as well as Makeinfo rules for verifying Texinfo document structure, format, and (to a certain extent) content coverage.
inetutils
* ftp An old inability to allow other names than the canonical name has been corrected. This means that a machine entry in the .netrc file will now be used as expected. Previously any alias name was replaced by the corresponding canonical name, before reading the .netrc file. The internal command `hash' accepts a suffixed letter to the size argument, like `12k', instead of 12288. Made a minor change to the syntax of the command itself, allowing size changes independently of activation of hash markings. After a transfer the summary gives the speed as `Mbytes/s', `kbytes/s', or `bytes/s'. The .netrc file can be overridden by the environment variable NETRC. Of even higher precedence is the new option `-N/--netrc'. The access to the resulting file, whatever method, is now denied unless it is a regular file. * ifconfig Better command line parsing on BSD and Solaris systems. Touch only changeable flags on all systems. * logger The ability to use numerical facilities is restored to full range. * ping, ping6 The ability to specify a pattern as payload is corrected. * syslogd A new switch `-T/--local-time' makes the service ignore a time stamp passed on by the remote host, recording instead the local time at the moment the message was received. As a short form of `--pidfile', the switch `-P' is new. In common with other syslogd implementations, rsyslogd and sysklogd, there has for a long time existed an attack vector based on large facility numbers, made public in CVE-2014-3684. This is now mended in our code base. * telnetd The ability to autologin a client, without using authentication, is now functional in the expected manner, i.e., the prompt for a user name is suppressed in favour of an immediate password prompt. In a setting where the client is using a UTF-8 encoding, it was common to observe strange characters in most responses. This was caused by the server daemon, due to incomplete purging of internal protocol data. The issue should now be resolved. * whois Improved cooperation with servers like `whois.arin.net', `whois.eu', and `whois.ripe.net'.
Inetutils, or GNU Internet Utilities, are the basic internet utilities of the GNU Operating System.
m4kwargs
Macro package that implements keyword arguments for m4 macros. A keyword argument consists of keyword name and value, separated with a single equals sign. Example of a macro call with single positional and two keyword arguments:
INCR(10, delta=4, sign=neg)
mailutils
* Use of TLS in pop3d and imap4d If not explicitly specified, the TLS mode to use (ondemand, connect, etc.) is derived from the configured port. E.g., for imap4d, port 143 implies ondemand mode, and port 993 implies connection mode. The global tls-mode setting is used only when the mode cannot be detemined otherwise, i.e. neither per-server tls-mode is given nor the port gives any clues as to the TLS mode to use. * Bugfixes ** movemail: fix handling of -P option. ** pop3d, imap4d: fix global timeout and transcript configuration statements ** pop3d, imap4d: global tls-mode is used only when the mode to use cannot be determined otherwise. ** pop3d, imap4d: if not set explicitly, derive tls mode from the port used. ** Improve file safety checking routine. ** Fix compilation with new gcc versions.
GNU Mailutils is a swiss army knife of electronic mail handling. It contains a rich set of mail-related utilities and daemons, including pop3d, imap4d, sieve and several domain-specific mail delivery agents.
pam-modules
* pam_fshadow: skip-password option Based on the proposal of Mirsad Goran Todorovac, the new option skip-password instructs pam_fshadow to check whether the user being authenticated is present in the passwd and/or shadow files, without verifying his password. This way pam_fshadow can be used as an auxiliary module in the stack, actual authentication being performed by one of the modules before it.
A collection of useful PAM modules plus a command line utility for checking PAM authentication and other management groups.
paxutils
Paxutils is intended to provide a set of archiver programs. It will include tar and cpio utilities and will provide POSIX pax program.
releaselogparser
Convert byte-like objects to UTF-8 strings.
Software packages usually include textual files describing noteworthy changes in each subsequent release. There exist several formats of such files. This package provides Python framework for parsing the most often used formats of such release log files. Support for any new format can be easily added.
runcap
A C module providing an API for running external command and capturing its output.
The function runcap runs an external command and waits for its termination, capturing its stdout and/or stderr and optionally piping the supplied data to its stdin.
wikitrans
Drop python 2 support
Provides Python framework for translating WikiMedia articles to various formats. The present version supports conversions to plain text, HTML, and Texinfo. A command line translator utility is included.
wit
A wiki translator, a package that supplies Python classes for translating Wiki Markup into another kind of markup, such as, e.g. plain text and HTML. It has been superseded by wikitrans.
wordsplit
This package provides a set of C functions for parsing input strings. Default parsing rules are are similar to those used in Bourne shell. This includes tilde expansion, variable expansion, quote removal, word splitting, command substitution, and path expansion. Parsing is controlled by a number of settings which allow the caller to alter processing at each of these phases or even to disable any of them. Thus, wordsplit can be used for parsing inputs in different formats, from simple character-delimited entries, as in /etc/passwd, and up to complex shell statements.
