Projects

This page lists most of the Free Software projects I ever worked on. Some of them where created by me, in others I am just one of the many people who develop them. Some are being actively developed, others have reached a state where further modifications are seldom or not at all required, yet others were discontinued.

To facilitate navigating in this list, projects are categorized by their purpose, authorship, and current state. Each project entry lists the categories it pertains to. Clicking on a category name will bring a listing of all projects in that category.

Additionally, a list of related projects is provided where applicable. Each element in that list is a link to the corresponding project entry.

Clicking on a project's name will bring this project's entry as a separate page (a permalink).

Hovering your mouse over the version information of a project shows the list of changes introduced by that version.

Sort controls below allow you to order the list either lexicographically or by the most recent release date, in both directions.

Using the Search control, you can select projects by name. Shell-style globbing patterns (wildcards) are accepted.

acmeman

Version: 3.10  —  2024-05-08
	- Catch fatal errors from the Net::ACME2 module.
	- Improve pound configuration parser.
	- New options to the pound source: "--comment". "--type",
	and "--listener".  The "--comment" option instructs the
	program to issue certificates for hostnames marked by
	a specific pragmatic comment.  The "--type" option
	instructs it to process hostnames defined within listeners
	of a particular type ("http" or "https").  Finally,
	"--listener" selects listener by its tag.

* 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,

     (e.g. 1.0) or three-part numbers whose third value (patchlevel)
     is numerically less than 90 mean "stable" releases.  Three-part
     numbers with patchlevel greater than or equal to 90 mean "alpha"
     releases.

  version_semantics kernel

The program is built as a sub-agent for Net-SNMP snmpd and is Linux-specific.

idest

Version: 2.1  —  2017-03-11
* Convert textual frames to/from the currently used character set

The character set is deduced from the locale settings.  It can also be
set explicitly using the --charset option.

* New option --broken-8bit-encoding

Use this option for files where textual frames are stored as
ISO-8859-1, but are actually using another 8-bit encoding.  The
argument to this option is the name of the enchoding actually used.

In query mode, this option helps display such frames properly.

Use it with the --fixup option to fix such frames in the file.

* New option --encoding

Specifies encoding to store textual frames in ID3 tags.

* New option --fixup

Modifies the ID3 v2 tag so that it can be understood by most devices.

* The --convert option can be used to remove unnecessary ID3 formats.

For example, if the file input.mp3 contains both version 1 and 2 tags,
the following will remove version 1 tags:

  idest --convert=2 input.mp3

* Fix processing of unknown frames.

* Fix operation of setpic and pic modules with Guile 2.x.

* Improve documentation

inetutils

Version: 1.9.3  —  May 12, 2015
* 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'.

mailfromd

Version: 9.0  —  2024-01-05
* Compatibility .mf suffix not supported any more

* Begin and end handlers must be defined using prog keyword

* Module and include search paths

Since version 8.15, if a module was not found in module search path,
the search was retried using include search path.  This is no longer
the case: the two paths serve different purposes and don't interact
in any way.  MFL modules are searched in module search path only.

* Use of Sendmail macros in run mode

Sendmail macros can be defined in run mode by placing assignments
macro=value before the script file name, e.g.:

  mailfromd --run i=123 client_addr=::1 test.mfl foo bar baz

This example defines Sendmail macro "i" to "123" and "client_addr" to
"::1".  The words "foo", "bar", and "baz" will be passed to the
main function as positional parameters.

* Full IPv6 support

This causes changes in the following MFL functions (see also "New functions",
below):

** dns_query

 number dns_query (number TYPE, string DOMAIN; number SORT, number RESOLVE)

The semantics and possible values of the RESOLVE argument have
changed.  It used to be a boolean value.  Now its allowed values (as
defined in status.mfl module) are:

     'RESOLVE_NONE'
          Don't resolve hostnames to IP addresses.  This is the default.

     'RESOLVE_DFL'
          Resolve hostnames to IP addresses according to the address
          family of the SMTP session.  That is, use 'A' records if the
          client connected using the INET family (i.e.  connected to the
          IPv4 address), and use 'AAAA' records if the client connected
          to the IPv6 address.

     'RESOLVE_IP4'
          Resolve hostnames to IPv4 addresses ('A' records).

     'RESOLVE_IP6'
          Resolve hostnames to IPv6 addresses ('AAAA' records).

Values of these constants has been selected so that any existing
code using 0/1 as the value of this argument will work without
changes.

** primitive_resolve and resolve functions

 string primitive_resolve (string HOST; string DOMAIN, number FAMILY)
 string resolve (string HOST; string DOMAIN, number FAMILY)

The use of DOMAIN argument is deprecated.

By default the function selects the type of RR set to search for
using the address family of the SMTP connection: A is used for INET
(IPv4 addresses) and AAAA is used for INET6 (IPv6 addresses).

New argument FAMILY can be used to request particular RR type.  Its
possible values are:

     'RESOLVE_DFL'
          Look for 'A' or 'AAAA', depending on the connection type.
          This is the default.

     'RESOLVE_IP4'
          Resolve to IPv4 addresses ('A' records).

     'RESOLVE_IP6'
          Resolve to IPv6 addresses ('AAAA' records).

* New functions

** string is_ipstr(string S)

Returns 1 if S is a string representation of an IP address (IPv4 or
IPv6).

** string is_ip4str(string S)

Returns 1 if S is a string representation of an IPv4 address.

** string is_ip6str(string S)

Returns 1 if S is a string representation of an IPv6 address.

** string reverse_ipstr(string IP)

Returns a reversed representation of the IP address, suitable for
use in DNS labels.

** string tr(string SUBJ, string SET1, string SET2)

Transliterates characters in SUBJ by replacing all occurrences of the
characters found in SET1 with the positionally corresponding characters
in SET2.  Character ranges ('a-z') are allowed in both sets.  A character
range in SET1 translates to a corresponding character from the range in
SET2, e.g. tr(x, 'a-z', 'A-Z') translates string x to uppercase.

Character classes ([a-z], [[:alpha:]], etc) are allowed in SET1 and
translate to the corresponding single character from SET2, e.g.
tr(x, '[[:digit:]]', '_') replaces all decimal digits in string x with
underscores.

** string dc(string SUBJ, string SET)

Deletes from SUBJ characters that appear in SET.  The syntax of SET is as
described for SET1 above.

** string sq(string SUBJ, string SET)

"Squeeze repeats".  Replaces each sequence of a repeated character
that is listed in SET, with a single occurrence of that character.

* Changes in match_cidr function.

The match_cidr function is re-implemented as a built-in.

* Deprecated MFL modules

The following MFL modules are deprecated.  They are retained for
backward compatibility.  Existing code using any of these will compile
and work as in previous releases, except that a warning will be
printed to draw your attention to the fact.  You are advised to remove
any uses of these modules, as they will be removed in future versions:

** match_cidr.mfl

This module is not needed any more.

** is_ip.mfl

This module defines function is_ip() which is superseded by is_ipstr()
built-in (see above).

** revip.mfl

This module defines function revip() which is superseded by
reverse_ipstr() built-in.

Description:

Mailfromd is a general-purpose mail filtering daemon for Sendmail, Postfix and MeTA1. It is able to filter both incoming and outgoing messages using criteria of arbitrary complexity, supplied by the administrator in the form of a script file. The daemon interfaces with the MTA using Milter or PMilter protocols.

mailutils

Version: 3.17  —  2024-01-06
* 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.

rex

Version: 4.1  —  2022-03-17
* Hostgroup stack

Rex now maintains a stack of hostgroups.  Once you push a hostgroup
name on stack, that hostgroup will be used by any subsequent rex
command, unless it is given the -g option.  The new command "group"
(see below) provides ways to pop items off the stack, swap arbitrary
element with the top of stack, select new hostgroups on the fly, etc.

* New command: rex group

The "rex group" command has the following forms:

  rex group push GROUP
    Push GROUP on stack.

  rex group pop
    Pop the topmost group off the stack.

  rex group swap N
    Exchange top of the stack with the Nth element (0-based).

  rex group drop N
    Remove Nth element from the stack.

  rex group select COMMAND ARGS...
    Create on top of the stack a temporary group that contains
    those hosts from the current hostgroup where the supplied
    shell command returns success, i.e. exits with code 0.

  rex group show
    List the contents of the hostgroup stack.

* Add configuration function for overriding PTR records from rc files
	  
Category:
Description:

Rex is a remote execution utility that runs a supplied command on a set of remote hosts. Arbitrary data can be supplied to the command in the form of local files, which will be transferred to each remote host prior to running the command and removed afterwards. Both parallel and sequential execution is supported.

slb

Version: 1.1  —  2012-03-30
* Support SNMPv3
* Default SNMP version is 2c
* Use newer Grecs
* Drop unneeded dependencies
* Variable assignments in expressions
* Detection of SNMP counter overflows
* Comma operator
* Support for indexed MIBs

This feature allows you to use symbolic names instead of the fixed MIBs
for MIBs that are part of SNMP subtrees.  For example, to get number of
packets sent over eth0 into variable "out", you would do the following:

    table iftable IF-MIB::ifDescr;
    variable out "IF-MIB::ifOutUcastPkts.$iftable[eth1]";

The first statement converts the subtree into a "table" named "iftable".
The second statement references an entry in this table that has
the value "eth1".  For example, if the SNMP tree has the following MIB

    IF-MIB::ifDescr.10: eth0

then the expression "$iftable[eth]" yields "10"

* Assertion syntax changed.

The assertion statement takes a single argument, which must be a
string consisting of the following three parts:

   <oid: string> [!]<opcode>[/i] <value: string>

The <opcode> part can be either an arithmetical operator (=, <, <=, >,
>=), or any of the following string operators:

    eq          string equality
    ne          string inequality
    prefix      oid value must begin with <value>
    suffix      oid value must end with <value>
    glob        <value> is a glob(7) pattern that oid value must match

Each of these can be suffixed with "/i" to request case-insensitive comparison.

A "!" in front of opcode reverts its meaning.

The <value> part must not include the type prefix.
	  
Category:
Description:

A simple load balancer. The utility monitors a set of remote servers, obtaining a set of numeric values via SNMP. These values are used to compute a single floating-point number, called a relative load for that server. The servers are then sorted in order of increasing loads and the resulting table is output (using a configurable format string) to a file or pipe.

* Fix check for hostname presence in the message
	  
Category:
Description:

This program provides system log forwarding facility for confined environments, such as docker containers. It listens for incoming system log messages on the UNIX socket file /dev/log and forwards them to the specified remote server. Relayed messages are normalized to make sure they comply with the RFC 3164. In particular, hostname is added if necessary. This is important in docker environments, since otherwise the collector would insert the IP address of the container or gateway in place of the missing hostname, and neither IP is informative enough to identify the container where the message originated.

Description:

Monitors state of running docker containers via SNMP. The package provides two utilities:

  • tallyman

    A health state collector to be run inside the container.

  • stevedore

    A container state collector and SNMP agent daemon.

Each container is supposed to run the tallyman command as part of its HEALTHCHECK configuration. This tool takes as its argument the command line that does the actual checking, collects its return and sends it over to the stevedore daemon that acts as a collector and simultaneously as a SNMP subagent, delivering the collected information to the snmpd daemon.

tar

Version: 1.35  —  2023-07-18
* Fail when building GNU tar, if the platform supports 64-bit time_t
  but the build uses only 32-bit time_t.

* Leave the devmajor and devminor fields empty (rather than zero) for
  non-special files, as this is more compatible with traditional tar.

* Bug fixes

** Fix interaction of --update with --wildcards.

** When extracting archives into an empty directory, do not create
   hard links to files outside that directory.

** Handle partial reads from regular files.

** Warn "file changed as we read it" less often.
   Formerly, tar warned if the file's size or ctime changed.
   However, this generated a false positive if tar read a file
   while another process hard-linked to it, changing its ctime.
   Now, tar warns if the file's size, mtime, user ID, group ID,
   or mode changes.  Although neither heuristic is perfect,
   the new one should work better in practice.

** Fix --ignore-failed-read to ignore file-changed read errors
   as far as exit status is concerned.  You can now suppress file-changed
   issues entirely with --ignore-failed-read --warning=no-file-changed.

** Fix --remove-files to not remove a file that changed while we read it.

** Fix --atime-preserve=replace to not fail if there was no need to replace,
   either because we did not read the file, or the atime did not change.

** Fix race when creating a parent directory while another process is
   also doing so.

** Fix handling of prefix keywords not followed by "." in pax headers.

** Fix handling of out-of-range sparse entries in pax headers.

** Fix handling of --transform='s/s/@/2'.

** Fix treatment of options ending in / in files-from list.

Intended for use with web sites that need an exceedingly big number of redirect and/or rewrite rules, Vmod-dbrw allows the administrator to keep all rules in an SQL database of arbitrary structure, thereby considerably speeding up their handling. Another advantage of this approach is that rewrite rules stored in a database are easier to maintain.

Description:

This module for Varnish Cache adds to it the ability to look up values in a textual dictionary. A dictionary is a disk file containing on each line a keyword-value pair, separated by arbitrary amount of whitespace. Leading and trailing whitespace is ignored. Empty lines and comments (beginning with ‘#’ as the first non-whitespace character) are allowed. Two functions are provided: dict.load loads the dictionary from a disk file into hash table, and dict.lookup retrieves value for a given key.

wordsplit

(Not released)
Category:
Description:

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.

xenv

Version: 4.1  —  2023-02-23
* Diagnostic directives: $$warning and $$error

The $$warning directive emits warning message.  It does not alter exit
status in any way.

The $$error directive reports a fatal error and sets exit status to
65 (or any other, if supplied as argument).

After both directives, processing is resumed at the next line.

* $$exit

New directive $$exit causes immediate termination of the program.
Decimal exit code may be supplied as argument.

* New directive: $$eval

The text between $$eval and $$end is expanded and the resulting
expansion is scanned again, producing the actual output.  This makes
it possible to create variable names on the fly and obtain their values.
Useful in loops, e.g.:

  $$loop I 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
  $$  eval
  \$\$ ifset VAR_$I
  Expand \$VAR_$I;
  \$\$ endif
  $$ end
  $$end

* Bugfixes

** Fix closing the $$range loop.

Description:

Xenv is a text preprocessor. It reads input from files (or the standard input, if none are supplied) and prints it on the standard output, replacing references to environment variables with their actual values. Variables are referenced using POSIX-compatible shell syntax: $NAME, ${NAME}, ${NAME:-word}, ${NAME+=word}, ${NAME:=word}, ${NAME:?word}. A special ternary construct is provided: ${NAME:|word1|word2}, which substitutes the expansion of word1 if NAME is set and the expansion of word2 otherwise. Preprocessor directives provide support for inclusion of external files, conditional text expansion (depending on the value of an environment variable or exit code of an external command), diversions, for and foreach loops etc.
