Software :: Source Tracking Alternative To Freshmeat?
Dec 10, 2010
I've been trying to find a source tracking website similar to Freshmeat so that I can keep an eye on version updates.
I need one because I am trying to build myself a Linux distro from scratch and it would really help if there was a single source where I could see software updates, and download from.
I had been running "Etch" and upgraded to "Lenny". Now my mouse is NOT tracking correctly. When I move the mouse and then press and release the 'ctrl' key to show where the mouse pointer is the circle indicators are not where the pointer is. I therefore cannot make any selections from menus as 'lenny' thinks the mouse is somewhere other than where the pointer is. Also are there keyboard hot keys that i can use to access the menus?
I refuse to use .net for any of my apps since I hate using proprietary code that wont work on other platforms without using emulation.
However, I do like how all the hard work is done for you and you can spend more time implementing, then actually coding stuff like socket classes, date/time classes and other wrappers to make the complex C/C++ code easier to use and tie with each other I have a custom library that I've been adding to as I need stuff, but then I got thinking, there must be something out there with everything I need to code applications, that is easy to use and more reliable and efficient then anything I'd ever make.
My sister works a lot with boating frame design, etc. and she needs a program that calculates all the measurements for you, but the program she wants only runs on Windows and costs $275. Here is the website to the program: http://www.clearwatercanvas.com/ and/or http://www.kingrichardco.com/FrameBenders/EZFrame.htm
Is there an open sourced alternative to this program that is free, or is there a simple way to make an open sourced alternative?
I am looking for an application that works in both linux and freebsd (windows would be a plus) that keeps a file tree in sync in the background like Dropbox does. I can no longer use Dropbox because it does not support FreeBSD (you might see a forum thread saying otherwise, but its fix is out of date). The application does not have to sync to a separate web server, I can host from my house, but it would be nice. A system tray icon to check on state would also be nice, but not required. The platforms that I really need are kubuntu 9.10 and FreeBSD 8.0.The simplest thing I could think of would be a script that had git update a repository with all my docs in it every minute or so, would this work?
Is there a good open source alternative to flash and/or java out there? I really don't want to support adobe and java irritates me because for some reason I can't install it without also installing firefox (why are they dependent?) so I'd like to try something else.
As a newbie, I have found may alternatives to the programs I usually used in Windows, with the exception of Flash pro. I liked using it for making small apps or fun animations. Does anyone know of an alternative?
Visual Logic is required by my Programming Logic and design course but my instructor said if I can find a comparable (feature for feature) open source equivalent he may let me use it. Google is not helping me at the moment. Anyone can recommend an open source alternative for Visual Logic?
I sort of asked this question in the arch linux forums since I was interested in arch but I still have yet to get a response (maybe it's too early).I wan't something like gentoo but without taking up unnecessary space like gentoo's portage does (/usr/portage/). I find that to be a serious flaw with gentoo. Yes you can use squashfs-unionfs to help but it requires some work especially when something goes wrong with portage.I was thinking about arch but can you use it completely as a source based distro? Some people seem to have said it requires scripting and some work from the user. I wan't something that'll do it for me so I can set it and forget it.
I heard about source mage linux and exherbo but I'm not sure what to think. I'm thinking about trying arch linux and source mage but perhaps there's other distro's I don't know about. I'd really like some suggestions.
I do not believe the firewall connection tracking is enabled. I have Centos 5.6 with 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.centos.plus kernel. I went into the kernel .config and I see CONFIG_IP_NF_CONNTRACK=m. But when I do a lsmod I do not see this module.
I was recently looking into using tail -f to monitor some text files like so: tail -f /var/sometext However, when I did some testing, it doesn't seem to work. What I did was I created a new file and ran: tail -f /home/name/text Then, I opened the log in vim and did some editing, saved it, and it seems that tail is not "seeing" the change.
The weird thing is, running echo "hello" >> /home/name/text seems to work fine (tail sees the change). I read somewhere this has something to do with file descriptors and new inodes being created when saving a file.
i want to performance a test of a network, without using connection-tracking.
how to disable connection-tracking,
i used the following iptables commands to disable connection-tracking, iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -p tcp -j NOTRACK iptables -t raw -A OUTPUT -p tcp -j NOTRACK
but it is not working, when i see /proc/net/ip_conntrack, this file shows the existing connections.
Is there a way of tracking updates without booting into the system. I am still on Karmic because of an annoying 'black screen at boot' bug. However i've got Lucid on a test partition waiting when the bug is fixed to upgrade my main system. I do not want to boot into my test system to check if there are any updates but track them online in some way to see when it's worth to boot to upgrade.
I've been reading an interesting article about the fact that ISPs are able to collect net data from web users. What I think It's missing in the article is that in some locations it's compulsory for ISPs to collect and save all your networking data (For example, in Spain, where I live, it's compusory to store people's activity on the net for a period of 6 months (minimum) to 2 years (maximum). In the article they state that Witopia can do the job of encrypting your browsing activity and therefore mantain your privacy. Do you know any open source or, at least, free alternative to Witopia? What do you think about the article and about the ways of safeguarding your privacy?
Fresh install of debian lenny / mostly default load
VLC 1.0.5 install cd rom dvd rom vlc plays cd (no audio but can see tracking of song) but not dvd fstab (cannot edit -permissions and don't know how to effect the proper permissions) fstab /dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 someone recommended changing to /dev/cdrom1 /""
Don't see how that would fix audio but anyway cannot change fstab.
checked advanced input / codec in VLC dvd = dev/hdb cd = dev/hda
Totem -plays the dvd but quality / volume is not there, prefer VLC. Soundjuicer plays the audio with sound nicely. Just would like VLC to do it all.
I've introduced myself to OpenCV a bit now and can do some of the most basic things with it. My current goal is to have a solid color object (say a red ball) and have a camera be able to find that object. Anybody know of any resources to start learning how to do this? Any tutorials/books? Or is there something I should be searching for instead of color detection and tracking that will give me things more in the right direction?
Quote:Originally Posted by qweasd cannot wait. I upgraded to 13.1, but now I am planning a clean install, with the intention of making the new system even more stable and better documented. This time I really want to keep track of ALL the changes I inflict to the stock configuration files in /etc, anyone knows of good way to do that? I was thinking git, but may be it's overkill. I guess, I could simply make a list of files I changed...es,What I do is that I have /root/orig and /root/local. Orig contains a copy of every stock file Pat ships that I make a change to, and I keep my changed copy in /root/local and then copy it into place.
Code: root@slack:~# tree /root/orig /root/local /root/orig
I am looking for a basic online expense tracking system that is:Web-based. Runs on LAMP, etc.Stable, reliable, etc.Open source.The end-user uses a web browser to enter the date of each expense, amount, vendor, etc.Print a periodic report and hand it over to the acccountant.
Is there a good way to set up internet tracking on an openSUSE 11.3 computer? I don't want users visiting porn sites or any other nonsense, and if they do, I want to know about it. Is there a good program that the administrator can set up to report this kind of thing or at least track it? Obviously, this would need to track all websites visited regardless of the application/browser used, and would need to be completely inaccessible to users. I don't want them having the ability to turn it off or circumvent it somehow.
In the "software sources" windows under the "Updates" tab I have checked "Pre-released updates" and installed all the updates. I no longer want to track the proposed updates and have unchecked that item. Now am back to just security and recommended checked. How do i get it to downgrade the packages that it has modified when I had "Pre-released" checked? I want to get back on the stable "Recommended Updates". It seems to have changed what it looks at for updates but did not downgrade the packages.
Is there a linux compatible program for tracking a stolen laptop? I tried Prey, but I can't get it installed and working. Something that works for the non-uber geek?
It's missing the data on bytes and packets transmitted through that particular connection. I had written a program that uses this information. Was this pulled out of the kernel on purpose or did I miss some option when compiling the new kernel for my box?
I am looking into setting up a system that can be used to track the progress and/or status of various projects being done by our I.T. staff. The specific features that I am looking for in the software are the following:
I have deployed applications like Bugzilla and RT Tracker in the past. However it has been several years since I have used either application so I am sure if either application can do some or all of the items that were listed above. Does anyone know if either of the two applications mentioned will do the items listed, or is there another application that is best suited for the job?
On my CentOS 5.4 box I run dns, ssh, and smtp servers. This box also has to be able to resolve and browse websites. So basically it needs iptable rules for
TCP 22 25 80 443 UDP 53
My question is, which of these services work nicely with connection tracking? I'm a little confused about how connection tracking works. For example say this iptables rule for smtp
Code: iptables -A INPUT -s 0/0 --sport 513:65535 -d $myip --dport 25 -j ACCEPT versus
Code: iptables -A INPUT -s 0/0 --sport 513:65535 -d $myip --dport 25 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT So with connection tracking what exactly does it do that my first iptables rule does not do?
Also for centos is that port range correct? 2.6 Linux kernel randomly chooses a port 513-65535 when it connects to an external smtp server or say browses a site.
