Stuff I'm involved with:

smartmontools

Smartmontools allows you to monitor hard disks health information (S.M.A.R.T.) of IDE, SCSI and SATA discs on linux and several other operating systems. For more information have a look at the Smartmontools Project Page.

pam-exec

pam-exec is a pam module that allows you to call an arbitray program from within the pam stack. The called program gets information such as user, ruser, tty and service passed via the commandline and the password passed via the environment. This can e.g. be used to disable the user account via an external program or to do some checks on the typed in password. You can fetch the source code using git from:

git clone http://honk.sigxcpu.org/git/pam-exec.git/

pam-naming

pam-naming is a pam module that allows you to match usernames against perl regular expressions using pcre. This can be helpful if you want to ensure that usernames are e.g. all lowercase although pam_ldap would accept uppercase usernames (due to the used ldap schema on the server). You can fetch the source code using git from:

git clone http://honk.sigxcpu.org/git/pam-naming.git/

arcboot

Arcboot is the bootloader used on SGI/MIPS IP22 and IP32 machines. It currently supports booting the kernel from an ext{2,3} filesystem and usually resides in the volume header of a disk with a SGI disklabel. You can find it in the Debian Repository. It's git repository is:

git clone http://honk.sigxcpu.org/git/arcboot.git/.

Xorg/XFree86 Newport Driver

The driver for the SGI's Indy and I2 newport graphics cards is now maintained in Xorg's Git repository but the old page is still here.

Git-Buildpackge

I'm using GIT for Debian packaging. Git-buildpackage contains scripts to create a git repository from an exisiting Debian package, to import new upstream versions and to build a package from a git repository. To get the current version use:

git clone http://honk.sigxcpu.org/git/git-buildpackage.git

Debian packages of git-buildpackage can be downloaded from the Debian Archive.

For more information have a look at the manual.

DufFS

DufFS allows you to mount WebDAV shares as Linux filesystems. It uses neon as WebDAV client library and libfuse to interact with FUSE - a kernel module that allows for filesystems in userspace (available since Linux 2.6.14, patches for earlier kernels are available on the FUSE site). To build DuFS from source you'll need To fetch the sources use:

darcs get http://honk.sigxcpu.org/darcs/duffs/

or if you don't have darcs available:

wget -r http://honk.sigxcpu.org/darcs/duffs/

For details about this release have a look at the NEWS file or the more detailed ChangeLog. If you're running Debian you can simply build the package with dpkg-buildpackage or debuild. Otherwise use cd duffs && chmod a+x ./configure && ./configure && make && make install.
For the last stable release (still using coda instead of fuse), use:

darcs get --tag=duffs_0.3.3 http://honk.sigxcpu.org/darcs/duffs/

to optain the sources.

PowerPC Debian MPlayer Packages

The packages are recompiled versions for PPC of Christian Marrilat's Packages and usually only contain build-fixes for this architecture. Add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://honk.sigxcpu.org/linux-ppc/debian/ mplayer/
deb-src http://honk.sigxcpu.org/linux-ppc/debian/ mplayer/

The packages are built against Debian unstable.

Christian now handles the PPC and Sparc builds himself, which is great, since it leaves me more time for other things. Please have a look here: http://debian-multimedia.org

Calendarserver and pykerberos

The Debian packaging of Apple's CalDAV Calendarserer finally moved to alioth and has been uploaded to the Debian archive.

There's also a pykerberos package that has our GSSWrap/Unwrap and password changing patches.

D-I Multipath Support
