Source: Freshmeat Daily News Conary is a distributed software management system
for Linux distributions. It replaces traditional
package management solutions (such as RPM and
dpkg) with one designed to enable loose
collaboration across the Internet. It enables sets
of distributed and loosely connected repositories
to define the components which are installed on a
Linux system. Rather than having a full
distribution come from a single vendor, it allows
administrators and developers to branch a
distribution, keeping the pieces which fit their
environment while grabbing components from other
repositories across the Internet.

Changes:
The update-conary command was renamed to updateconary so that the easily possible typo "update -conary" would not attempt to remove conary from the system. Bugs in the "--test" option were fixed for update and erase. The EtcConfig and Config policies were merged, and all config files go into ":config" components by default. A Use.xen flag was added. The new CheckDesktopFiles policy looks for common errors in desktop files. The Requires policy now interprets synthetic RPATH elements as globs, which (in particular) makes it easier to package some programs that link with libperl.so.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News GoldenPod is a podcast client (or podcast
aggregator, or podcatcher) written in Perl. It

Source: Freshmeat Daily News The Web100 project was created to produce a complete host-software environment that will run common TCP applications at 100% of the available bandwidth, regardless of the magnitude of a network's capability. Web100 has endowed TCP with better instrumentation. This instrumentation is the foundation for both the TCP autotuning performed in process-level code and the process- level tools designed to locate bottlenecks within the following major subsystems: the sending application, the sending OS, the Internet path, the receiving OS, and the receiving application. Measurement tools have also been built on this instrumentation to display performance indicators to end-users, as well as provide internal diagnostics for network and system administrators.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News Magellan Metasearch is a modular meta search engine, enabling users
to monitor as many search engines as they want. It provides a complex
query language with standard boolean operators, meta-operators (to
search through pages' metadata), and proximity operators. This language
enables users to perform far more complex queries than what common
search engines currently support. It can be fed any custom sources,
since its abstraction layer manages the search results and their meta
tags in a uniform way. In conjunction with the local process scheduler
(such as "cron"), Magellan enables you to save your requests and replay
them later automatically; new results are sent through email and RSS
in realtime. Magellan also provides full anonymity through smart

TCP sessions.
Source: Freshmeat Daily News Suspend2 allows you to hibernate your machine without needing APM, BIOS, or ACPI support. It creates an image that is saved in your active swap partitions, swap files, ordinary files or (soon) across a network. At the next system boot, the kernel detects the saved image, restores the memory from it and then it continues to run as if you'd never powered down.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
ARM support was added. Remounting was replaced
with freezing and thawing filesystems. The number
of extra pagedir 1 pages allowed was made tunable
via a new proc entry. It should be set to 0 for
