depfinder 1.0.0
depfinder finds the dependencies of Slackware packages. The dependency list can be output to stdout, to a .dep text file without version information, or to a slack-required file with version information. depfinder is very fast; its speed is mainly due to the C++ code that is used in depfinder to find in which package each individual library is included. It also has support for running multiple jobs, which makes it a lot faster when used with multiple CPUs/cores. depfinder supports detecting dependencies of binary files compiled with languages such as C or C++ and it can also detect Python dependencies.
Release Notes: Support was added for the x86_64 architecture. Support was also added for OR statements in dependency lists using the "|" operator. The need for lock files was removed. Some additional minor fixes were made.

Zutils 0.3
Zutils is a collection of utilities able to deal with any combination of compressed and non-compressed files transparently.

These utilities are not wrapper scripts but safer and more efficient C++ programs. In particular the "--recursive" option is very efficient in those utilities supporting it. The provided utilities are zcat, zcmp, zdiff, zgrep, and ztest. The supported compressors are bzip2, gzip, lzip, and xz.
Release Notes: A default compressor is no longer needed. All supported filename extensions are now tried.

Tor-ramdisk 20090828
Tor-ramdisk is a uClibc-based micro Linux distribution whose only purpose is to host a Tor server in an environment that maximizes security and privacy. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. Security is enhanced in tor-ramdisk by employing a monolithically compiled GRSEC/PAX patched kernel and hardened system tools. Privacy is enhanced by turning off logging at all levels so that even the Tor operator only has access to minimal information. Finally, since everything runs in ephemeral memory, no information survives a reboot, except for the Tor configuration file and the private RSA key, which may be exported and imported by FTP or SSH.
Release Notes: This release implements the changes included in the recent i686 release, but for the MIPS architecture: tor was updated to 0.2.1.19, busybox to 1.14.3, and the kernel was reconfigured to provide FILE_LOCKING required by tor's new 0.2.1.x branch. Tor node "mufasa" is running this release in the wild.
