The MultiAdmin security framework kernel module provides a means to have multiple "root" users with unique UIDs. This bypasses collation order problems with NSCD, allows you to have files with unique owners, and allows you to track the quota usage for every "real" user. It also implements a "sub-admin", a partially restricted root user who has full read-only access to most subsystems, but write rights only to a limited subset, for example writing to files or killing processes only of certain users.
parkverbot is a daemon that prevents hard disk head parking in rotational media. Modern rotational hard disks have a misfeature involving the regular automatic unloading of the heads, measurable by the SMART attribute "Load_Cycle_Count". This causes latency on wake-up amongst other issues (and it cannot always be turned off). The parkverbot daemon will periodically issue small read requests in order to keep the hardware from going to its head-unloaded idle state.
systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, compatible with SysV and LSB init scripts. It provides aggressive parallelization capabilities, uses socket and D-Bus activation for starting services, offers on-demand starting of daemons, keeps track of processes using Linux cgroups, supports snapshotting and restoring of the system state, maintains mount and automount points, and implements an elaborate transactional dependency-based service control logic. It can work as a drop-in replacement for sysvinit.
Wayland is a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients, as well as a C library implementation of that protocol. The compositor can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client itself. The clients can be traditional applications, X servers (rootless or fullscreen), or other display servers.
Uh, does this really require Java/gcj for building? If so, it should say so on the Freecode page.
The openSUSE .spec file for pkg-config 0.25 lists neither glib nor python as build requirements, and pkg-config bundles popt and glib-1.2.10, and does not mention python according to grep, so any c...
Wonder what "all the dependencies" are that the project description speaks of.
The screenshot shows icewm with icevista theme (the one from me), on an xterm using tosh.pcf font (from hxtools), running mcedit (with patches of mine implementing deskplus-style column slider bar)...
FM Beta Will fm2 at freshmeat.net be upgraded with the new code and style — when FM3 is ready —, or will freshmeat3.net remain a separate entity to which we all have to reregister for afte...
