netrik release: 1.3.0 (alpha)
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=255645

    Netrik is a fairly complete text-based web browser; it is useful both
    for browsing local documentation and web sites. After another longer
    pause, a new version of netrik is now out. There is a fairly simple,
    but very convenient new feature: If you go back to a page from history
    (or reload the current one), the link which was active when leaving the
    page is not only reactivated when it's still in the same place, but
    also if the page is somewhat different than it was. This is especially
    useful when reading newstickers or other dynamic pages. But even
    changing ads can cause layout changes, so this can also help with
    otherwise static pages.

bash programmable completion 20030227 (Stable)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/114550/

    Since v2.04, bash has allowed you to intelligently program and extend
    its standard completion behavior to achieve complex command lines with
    just a few keystrokes. Imagine typing ssh [Tab] and being able to
    complete on hosts from your ~/.ssh/known_hosts files. Or typing man 3
    str [Tab] and getting a list of all string handling functions in the
    UNIX manual. mount system: [Tab] would complete on all exported
    file-systems from the host called system, while make [Tab] would
    complete on all targets in Makefile. This project was conceived to
    produce programmable completion routines for the most common Linux/UNIX
    commands, reducing the amount of typing sysadmins and programmers need
    to do on a daily basis.

    was designed to allow remote editing and compiling of Java source files
    on a Linux server without the need for a terminal login, however, it
    can be used to edit any text file. It provides a directory browser to
    easily view files along with creating, uploading, copying, deleting,
    moving, renaming, and Java compiling features. All functions except

    bell-shaped functions (Gaussian, Loretzian, Pearson 7, Voigt,
    Pseudo-Voigt) and polynomials, but more sophisticated formulae can be
    easily added if necessary. It also enables background substracting,
    data calibration and task automation with a simple script language. It
    is being developed to analyze powder diffraction patterns, but it can
    be used to fit analytical functions to any kind of data. The most
    similar program to Fityk is probably PeakFit.

    FreeCraft is a free cross-platform real-time strategy gaming engine. It
    is possible to play against human opponents over a LAN or the Internet,
    or against the computer. The engine can be used to build RTS games like
    C&C, WarCraft, StarCraft, or AOE. Since FreeCraft only provides the
    engine, you need either the FcMP (FreeCraft Media Project) or the
    original game (normal or expansion CD), so FreeCraft can extract the
    files which are necessary for playing a game.

ReloCounter - A simple counter for mod_relocate wi
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/27/2148245

    I've just released the first publicly available version of ReloCounter,
    a plugin for slashdot that manages your out bound click referrals for
    mod_relocate (.relo) URLS. You can pick up mod_relocate and
    ReloCounter-0.2.tar.gz. There are also the obligatory screenshots
    available. 

freshenup.pl / prog2file hanging (again)
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/27/1717234

    I know this has been asked before, but I've been doing some digging and
    I can't see any answers to the problems that quite a few people seem to
    have been hitting. The issue is that slashd stops working, and it
    appears to be when it calls prog2file(), and I'm assuming that the line
    in prog2file() is the backticked execution of the command passed. There
    are previous threads regarding this here and here, and I've seen other
    discussions away from SlashCode too. These threads all just seem to
    peter out without any resolution. Here's my question: I've removed the
    last two calls to prog2file from freshenup.pl, and slashd now keeps
    going fine, and my site still seems to be working... what have I broken
    by removing these calls? Is this wise (I suspect not) :) And has anyone
    resolved this issue??? 

Slash not emailing Daily Headlines / Stories
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/26/176227

    I have got a basic install up and running and so far everything is
    behaving as expected in terms of the web ui. My previous post regarding
    external authentication is being followed up with the developers of our
    current community software, I will post whatever developments come from
    that should others find it useful. One oddity I am noticing is that the
    website is not emailing me like it did the very first day. I received a
    report on the activity along with the news headlines. The next day and
    from then on in I have not received any mail. The system is mailing
    correctly. New registrations and password requests come through without
    any problems at all. It seems limited to the cronish sort of things. I
    can not find any errors in the logs to help guide me here, has anyone
    else experienced this? One thing I did do that may have broken
    something was change my slash install from on domain to another by
    going through the install process again. Any pointers would be most
    appreciated, Mitchell 

Installing Slash article on Linux Journal website
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/26/176200

    Linux Journal have just published on their website an article of mine
    called "Installing Slash for a Private Project". Rather than a
    definitive HOW-TO, it's more of a description of what I went through to
    get things working. --Paul Barry

Slash::Blob
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/21/2044216

    I've added Slash::Blob to the main dist in CVS. Its a module for
    storing binaries and serving them up on the web. It will be the
    foundation for most of the new features we are adding so that we can
    use images and pdf files with stories (and other subsystems). If you
    are writing modules you may find it useful for your own applications.
    Feedback is welcome. 

Link Tag to Enable Auto-Discovery of RSS Files
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/21/1652216

    Recently, I have been making small changes to my Slash sites to make
    them integrate better into the weblog communities dominated by Blogger,
    Radio from Userland, Movable Type, and similar tools. I found out that
    some of the weblog aggregation tools look for a specific link tag in
    the head portion of a site's home page in order to locate that site's
    RSS file. This is the kind of thing that can be added to a template
    without changing any code. Here's the code itself: <link
    rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS"
    href="__YOUR_RSS_URL__"> For more information about the research I
    did to arrive at this conclusion, see the article How Weblog Monitors
    Automatically Discover RSS Feeds on CTDATA.com.

SuSE8.1 installation test failures for Mysql modul
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/02/18/2151208

    I have installed slash test sites on debian a few times before, but now
    I'm trying to install a permanent site on SuSE8.1 I'm having problems
    installing Bundle::Slash - MIME, Mysql modules & libapreq are all
    failing their tests. I'm installing Bundle::Slash within a perl shell.
    I'll concentrate on Mysql module here. I'm no perl expert (not even a
    perl beginner), but it seems to be a problem with lib.pl in testing the
    Mysql module. At line 253 & 254, my build complains about these 2
    lines with "Illegal character in prototype for main::ErrMsgF : @_ at
    t/lib.pl line 254" Here's the lines, what's wrong with them ? If
    they're wrong, how come they're in the bundle ? sub ErrMsg (@_) { print
    (@_); } sub ErrMsgF (@_) { printf (@_); } There's also a warning during
    the "perl Makefile.PL" phase about CAPI & PL_FILES which I don't
    understand either. " WARNING: CAPI is not a known parameter. WARNING:
    PL_FILES takes a hash reference not a array reference. Please inform
    the author. " Again, if the code is wrong, why is it bundled as a
    stable release ? I suspect that my problems are just a side effect of
    something else....can anyone out there point me in the right direction?
    I have a build log if anyone needs to see it. thanks!
