Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-announce@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Well, I've finally had some time to sit down and figure out the mechanics of making ports/packages, and so have decided to contribute something useful to the FreeBSD community using my new-found knowledge. :) To that end, a port of the WorkMan audio CD player, version 1.3, is now available at: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/workman.tar.gz This is a tarred copy of the ports directory for WorkMan. ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/WorkMan-1.3.tgz This is an installable (binary) package of WorkMan. I must thank Todd Pfaff for doing the initial porting to FreeBSD 1.0. There were some changes and general beating-up of the source code needed to get it to work properly using 2.x (at least, on my setup (SCSI CD-ROM on Adaptec 1542CF controller) some changes were needed). And besides, it was never formalized as a 'port' or 'package'. So here it is. :) For those of you wondering "what the @#%@#$%# is he talking about?", perhaps this excerpt from the WorkMan README will help describe what this is: -----CUT HERE WorkMan is a graphical tool for playing audio compact discs on a CD-ROM drive. It has most of the features available on standalone CD players, such as a shuffle mode, programmable playlists, and elapsed/remaining timers. But it also has extra features, foremost of which is the ability to store information about CDs in a database, then automatically extract that information when the CD is inserted later. WorkMan stores the artist's name, the disc title, the names of individual tracks, and even remembers which tracks you don't want to hear! All in an easy-to-use, attractive OPEN LOOK graphical interface. -----CUT HERE Finally, since this is an OPEN LOOK program, the XView development environment must be installed (consisting of the xview-{clients,config,lib} packages, and possibly one of olwm/olvwm (window managers). Please report any problems with this port/package to me at the email below. Since this is my first try at this, there will undoubtedly be errors in it. :) Cheers, Donald Burr [d_burr@ix.netcom.com], PO Box 91212, Santa Barbara CA 93190-1212 TEL (805)564-1871 / FAX 564-2315 / WWW http://www.geopages.com/WallStreet/2072 PGP Public Key available by request (send e-mail) or on Public Key Servers. ** Uphold your right to privacy - Use PGP. ** From owner-freebsd-announce Sun Nov 26 05:12:10 1995 Return-Path: owner-announce Received: (from root@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) id FAA06280 for announce-outgoing; Sun, 26 Nov 1995 05:12:10 -0800 Received: from silvia.HIP.Berkeley.EDU (silvia.HIP.Berkeley.EDU [136.152.64.181]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.6.12/8.6.6) with ESMTP id FAA06222 ; Sun, 26 Nov 1995 05:11:58 -0800 Received: (from asami@localhost) by silvia.HIP.Berkeley.EDU (8.6.12/8.6.9) id FAA10082; Sun, 26 Nov 1995 05:10:36 -0800 Date: Sun, 26 Nov 1995 05:10:36 -0800 Message-Id: <199511261310.FAA10082@silvia.HIP.Berkeley.EDU> To: d_burr@ix.netcom.com CC: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org, freebsd-announce@freebsd.org Reply-to: ports@silvia.HIP.Berkeley.EDU In-reply-to: (message from Donald Burr on Sun, 26 Nov 1995 04:20:18 -0800 (PST)) Subject: Re: ANNOUNCEMENT: Port/package of WorkMan-1.3 now available!

Since this is my first try at this, there will undoubtedly be * errors in it. :) Thanks! I tried it and in general it seems to be working great, so I made some minor changes and committed it. Please take it and see what's up! By the way, I tried the "workmandb.gz" file found in the same directory as the source, but it seems like some of the fields do not come out exactly the same -- most notably the last field of the "tracks" line is always off by one (in either direction), and my CDs are not recognized even though they are in the database. Also, it complains about not being able to write to /var/run, we can solve it by making it setuid-bin but I'm not sure if it's safe enough to do that. Well, let me know what you think about the above comments. It's an excellent program though!

Der "Call for Papers" zum GUUG Fruehjahrstreffen '96 in Koeln ist ja schon einige Zeit heraus. Darin werden Vorschlaege fuer Workshops zu einer Reihe von Themen u.a. im Bereich Systeme und Netze, Software-Entwicklung und Sicherheit erbeten. Nun hat mich einer der Veranstalter angesprochen, und gefragt, ob aus dem Kreis der FreeBSD/NetBSD-Benutzer und -Entwickler nicht Interesse bestuende, Beitraege beizusteuern, die die besonderen Eigenschaften dieser Systeme zum Inhalt haben. (Das Thema "Linux" hat bei der GUUG schon Tradition, aber das ist nunmal nicht das einzige "freie" Unix. Und es sollte doch wohl moeglich sein, auch mal die Staerken von BSD Systemen herauszustellen!) Die Workshops sollen inklusive Diskussion etwa 20 bis 60 Minuten dauern, das heisst, ein kurzes Referat und das noetige Hintergrund- wissen fuer die Diskussion reichen schon aus ... Ausserdem gibt es Tutorials von mehreren Stunden Umfang, fuer die man dann aber schon einiges zu bieten haben sollte :-) Themen, die aus meiner Sicht insbesondere in Frage kommen, sind: - Sicherheitskonzepte in BSD-4.4 (und damit in FreeBSD/NetBSD) - Das FreeBSD "ports"/"Packages"-Konzept - Firewall-Systeme / Kerberos / ... - Performance beim Einsatz als Netzwerk-Server (und Tuning) - File-Systeme (Performance/Layering/...) - Multimedia (Multicast-Routing/Applikationen) Aber es gibt sicher noch sehr viele weitere interessante Themen ... Laut "Call for Papers" laeuft die Frist fuer das Einreichen von Themenvorschlaegen (20 Zeilen: Thema des Vortrags plus einige Erlaeuterungen) schon am 1. Dezember ab. Aber ich habe den Eindruck, dass Vorschlaege, die auf dieses Posting bezug nehmen, auch noch ein paar Tage spaeter eingereicht werden koennen ... Fuer Fragen (zum Thema BSD-Vortraege) stehe ich gerne zur Verfuegung.
