A patch for Jay Painter and Stuart Parmenter's Balsa. When this patch is applied, a user may specify mail attachments on the command line using the -a or –attachment option.

Incidentally, this patch allows one to integrate Balsa very nicely with the graphical shell Nautilus. One can right click on selected files, scale them to a reasonable size, and open a new mail message with them attached if one places my mail_file script in their Nautilus scripts directory. Mail_file is distributed in my nautilus_scripts package.

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

gdm-2.4.4.5-pam_mount

A patch for gdm that ensures the X server is reset (and all X programs exit) before calling pam_session_close. This is required if a PAM module like pam_mount is to unmount a user's home directory upon logging out because programs like xscreensaver will block an unmount with open file descriptors.

ghostscript-7.07-glib2

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

ncpfs-2.2.0.19-env

A patch for ncpfs 2.2.0.19.10 that adds the ability to read passwords from the environment variable PASSWD to ncpmount. This makes ncpmount play nicely with pam_mount.

Because environment variables are not a safe way to transmit passwords, pam_mount now uses a new technique. This patch is no longer required. All that is required is ncpfs >= 2.2.0.19.10.

A patch for devfsd that allows it to work nicely with pam_console.

plip-slow

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

plip-slow

A patch for the PLIP driver contained in the 2.4.3 version of the Linux kernel. This patch allows one to use PLIP with computers which have an interrupt-less parallel port and a slow processor. The stock PLIP driver constantly times out on my 80486-based laptop. This patch adds the ability to specify two key values, trigger_wait and nibble_wait, when loading the PLIP driver.

Using this patch and adding the following entry to the modules.conf file on the computers on either side of my PLIP link makes the connection work nicely:

 ## Because my laptop is so slow.
options plip                    trigger_wait=50000 nibble_wait=300000

quicktime4linux-010401-build

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

quicktime4linux-010401-build

A patch for Heroine Virtual's QuickTime for Linux library which, in my opinion, improves its build process. The project now uses autoconf, automake, etc. and shared libraries and RPMs are now easily built. The mainstream distribution includes copies of libraries such as libdv to build; this patch causes QuickTime for Linux to build against shared libraries already existing on a system.

The Libquicktime project now exists to bring some modern features to QuickTime for Linux. These include the same build process changes that are in my patch.

rhythmbox-libdmapsharing

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

A patch for SDL. When applied, SDL provides a cross-platform means of enabling and disabling screensavers.

serial-5.05-actiontec

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

serial-5.05-actiontec

A patch for Theodore Ts'o's Linux serial driver which adds very ugly support for Actiontec's 56K Internal PCI Call Waiting Modem. This patch causes the driver to be hard-wired to auto-detect this modem. I believe that the Lucent Venus chipset may be buggy, and am currently working with Lucent, Actiontec, and Theodore Ts'o to fix it.

I have written open letters to Agere and Actiontec.

I wrote a kernel module to demonstrate the problems I am having with the Venus chipset. The module writes a value to the interrupt enable register (IER) on one's modem. It then immediately reads the value stored in the IER. Reading a value from the IER that does not equal the value written to it seems to represent a bug in the chipset. Theodore Ts'o's serial driver makes extensive use of a modem's IER when it performs detection operations; thus detecting a Venus-based modem often fails.

To try this test on your own machine, download the kernel module and read the directions included in the source file.

shadow_4.0.3-root_close

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

shadow_4.0.3-root_close

A patch for the standard linux shadow utilities that causes login to retain its root privileges until it calls PAM's close session code. This allows pam_mount to work properly with login and is correct behavior. Gdm, su, etc. already do this.

snes9x-1.26-esd

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

snes9x-1.26-esd

A patch for Gary Henderson's snes9x which allows the SNES emulator to play sound through EsounD. The patch currently causes a lag in the emulator's audio, due to latency in EsounD.

spruce-0.5.9-fetchmail

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

spruce-0.5.9-fetchmail

A patch for Jeffrey Stedfast's Spruce email client. This patch allows one to use the external program fetchmail to retrieve one's mail when Spruce's Check button is pressed. Once the patch is applied, look for the Use External Fetchmail Program check button under the accounts tab of the options menu. Fetchmail has a few added benefits, such as allowing one to encrypt a connection to a pop server using ssh.

spruce-0.5.9-metamail

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

spruce-0.5.9-metamail

util-linux-2.11z-mountpoint

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

util-linux-2.11z-mountpoint

A patch for util-linux that fixes umount's behavior when dealing with volumes remounted using –bind. When looking up data in /etc/mtab in order to unmount a volume, any mnt_dir match should take priority because unmounting by fsname is obsolete. Otherwise unmounting a volume that was also mounted with –bind will misbehave (Parent's mnt_dir is child's mnt_fsname).

xawtv-3.24-quicktime

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

A patch for Gerd Knorr's xawtv. When applied, streamer will be able to save YUV2 captured video using the QuickTime format. YUV2 is 16 bits per pixel, rather than 24 like QuickTime's raw encoding. I can capture 30 frames per second at a resolution of 640x480 pixels when using YUV2 and SGI's XFS filesystem on my machine.

xawtv-3.55-time

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

xmovie-1.8-vmscale

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

xmovie-1.8-vmscale

A patch for Adam Williams' XMovie. When applied, XMovie will choose and switch to the most appropriate X video mode when playing back full screen video. This can save a lot of CPU cycles, as the CPU may not need to scale the video to the screen.

xmovie-1.9-vmscale

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 09:02:58 -0400

xmovie-1.9-vmscale

A patch for Adam Williams' Xmovie that fixes the vidmode scaling code. As an added bonus, it fixes two lines in mpeg3io.h that were illegal in C, though fine in C++.
