Debian GNU/*
The Debian Project is the largest GNU/Linux-Distribution named Debian GNU/Linux and
released for more then eleven Architectures (including intel x86 and IA-64,
Motorola 680x0, Alpha, IBM S/390, Sun SPARC, Mips). The Project consists of more than
1000 developers creating the Distribution according to the strict
policies
Debian has.
There are two other ports, they are work in progress and not yet released. They are
the port to
Sparc64
, the 64bit Sun
UltraSparc Workstation Processor and the port to
SH
, the Hitachi SuperH Processor.
In the near future Debian will not only support the
Linux Kernel
but will add support for other Kernels like
the HURD
the NetBSD
and
the FreeBSD
one.
That means Debian supports eleven architectures right now with all packages and
there are 5 upcoming architectures to support. Tell me only one other Distribution
that is able to do this.
Packages
The Debian Distribution consist of more than 10000 Packages (unstable)
now. Hey, thats
huge
, really. On this website you can search for a specific
package.
Packages I support.
A real useful site with many Information about my packages.
SPI
SPI is a non-profit organization which was founded to help organizations develop and
distribute open hardware and software.
Im a contributing Member there.
// Work I do for Debian
First I maintain a bunch of packages, see below for list.
I also
sponsor
people who are not yet a Debian Developer, so they can maintain their own packages.
Then I'm working as an Application Manager for Debian to help People in the
New Maintainer Queue
to
become a Debian Developer.
// CVS Repository for my packages
I maintain (most) of my packages using CVS (except the ones
with too much symlinks, a thing that CVS doesnt handle and the packages which are hosted on
alioth.debian.org
). You can always take a look
at my CVS Tree
if you want. But note
that this is on my PC at home, it may not be online for 24hours. And you wont find the
lg-issue* packages there. Only lg-meta and lg-base and the scripts I use.
The issues are mostly static, so no need for CVS.

A perl module for simple terminal control
Term::ReadKey is a compiled perl module dedicated to providing simple control over
terminal driver modes (cbreak, raw, cooked, etc.,) support for non-blocking reads,
if the architecture allows, and some generalized handy functions for working with
terminals. One of the main goals is to have the functions as portable as
possible, so you can just plug in "use Term::ReadKey" on any architecture and have
a good likelyhood of it working.

Perl extension for the GNU Readline/History Library
This is an implementation of a Perl interface to the GNU Readline Library. This module
gives you input line editing, input history management, word completion, and other
similar facilities. This module gives you access to almost all variables and functions
documented in the GNU ReadLine/History Library. This means you can write your custom
editing function, your custom completion function, and so on with Perl. You may find it
useful for prototyping before programming with C.

Perl implementation of Readline libraries
This is a quick implementation of the minimal interface to Readline libraries.
The implementation is made in Perl (mostly) by Jeffrey Friedl. The only thing this
library does is to make it conformant (and add some minimal changes, like using
Term::ReadKey if present, and correct work under xterm).

A program that filters your incoming e-mail to help remove spam.
Mailfilter is very flexible utility for UNIX (-like) operating systems to get rid of
unwanted e-mail messages, before having to go through the trouble of downloading them
to the local computer. It offers support for one or many POP3 accounts and is especially
useful for dialup connections via modem, ISDN, etc.
Install Mailfilter if you'd like to remove spam from your POP3 mail accounts.
With Mailfilter you can define your own filters (rules) to determine which e-mails should
be delivered and which are considered waste. Rules are Regular Expressions, so you can
make use of familiar options from other mail delivery programs such as e.g. procmail.
If you do not get your mail from a POP3-Server you don't need Mailfilter.

network streams - a tcpdump output analyzer
Nstreams is a utility designed to identify the IP streams that are occurring on a network
from a non-user friendly tcpdump output of several megabytes. This is especially useful when
you plan to install a firewall but if you do not know the nstreams that the network users are
generating (http, real audio, and more...).
Nstreams can read the tcpdump output directly from stdin, or from a file. It can even
generate the configuration file of your firewall.
