The Linux Test Project test suite ltp-full-20030508.tgz has been released. The latest version of the testsuite contains 1800+ tests for the Linux OS. Our web site also contains other information such as: test results, a Linux test tools matrix, an area for keeping up with fixes for known blocking problems in the 2.5 kernel releases, technical papers and HowTos on Linux testing, and a code coverage analysis tool. Lists of test cases that are expected to fail for specific architectures and kernels are located at: http://ltp.sourceforge.net/expected-errors.php These lists also contain expected LTP compiler warnings for each architecture and kernel. Highlights: * An updated and revised HowTo is now posted on the website. * Updates to allow build and execution in NPTL environments. * Open POSIX Test Suite 0.9.0 merged into test suite. * New 'ltpmenu' ncurses-type GUI available. * New tests added for device mapper, sockets, and 2.5 timers.

Tcllib 1.4.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=275116
tcllib is a Tcl-only library of standard routines for Tcl (no compiling required). This release is a minor version change which fixes numerous bugs and provides a lot of enhancements as well. Tcllib 1.4 release
notes ======================== Hello World, welcome to Tcllib 1.4. This
release is a minor version change which fixes numerous bugs and
provides a lot of enhancements as well. Availability ------------ The
released distributions can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12883&release_id=
157517 Available are gzipped, zipped, and bzipped tarballs, a starkit,
and a starpack for windows. Installation ------------ * For the starkit
and starpack just execute the file and a GUI based installer will pop
up. Fill out the paths, then run the installation. * For the tarballs
unpack them in some directory /foo, then run the file
"/foo/installer.tcl". This will invoke the same installer used in the
starkit and starpack. Note: While the installer will open up a GUI by
default (and if possible), a command line based installation is
provided too. Run the installer with the option "-help" to see what is
available. Known problems -------------- * When using Tcllib 1.4 on a
true 64bit platform, like Linux/Alpha, or Linux/IA-64 the usage of Tcl
8.4.x is strongly recommended. * Package mime, SourceForge Tcllib Bug
#447037 A special case of the above. This problem affects only people
which are using Tcl and Mime on a true 64-bit system. The currently
recommended fix for this problem is to upgrade to Tcl version 8.4. This
version has extended 64 bit support and the bug does not appear
anymore. The problem could have been generally solved by requiring the
use of Tcl 8.4 for this package. We decided against this solution as it
would force a large number of unaffected users to upgrade their Tcl
interpreter for no reason. See
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=447037&group_id=12883&a tid=112883 for additional information.

functionality into packages it was also greatly expanded. A new

The Spirit Of Unix vs. The Unix Trademark

[0]BSD Forums writes "This article conveys the message that [1]Linux, BSD, and Darwin continue what Unix started. InfoWorld's Tom Yager says that several readers took him to task for referring to Linux, BSD, and OS X as Unix. He feels that Unix has a rich legacy that deserves to be preserved and accurately conveyed to new generations of computer scientists. It rattles many of us to see that the operating systems that best exemplify Unix traditions today aren't Unix at all." Links

RIAA Apologizes for Incorrect Infringement Notice http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/13/031200

The university accepted the apology saying "that this was an honest mistake by the recording industry" and Spokesman Tysen Kendig said Penn State "remains committed to working closely with the RIAA"."

Vanu apparently has implemented the signal processing functions on the iPAQ's XScale processor, and their software uses POSIX APIs to make it platform independent. Software radios implement multiple radio standards and frequency bands in software, rather than hardware. A standard iPAQ expansion pack houses the radio transceiver." Links

The caveat is that the next generation of DirectX 9-based games (like Doom 3 and Half-Life 2, [6]demonstrated with ATI at E3) will truly determine which is the better card. Lots of coverage at [3]PC Magazine, [4]PC World, The Register ([7]ATI) ([8]nVidia), [5]ExtremeTech, [9]InternetNews, and [10]Forbes/Reuters.

Even though it doesn't affect all chips, they have still stopped shipments of the new 450 Servers until the problem is resolved.

Intel is saying that affects the 900MHz and 1 GHz Itanium 2 chips and that it will not affect the upcoming 1.5 GHz Itanium 2 6M chips." Until the next iteration of chip arrives though, Oliver Wendell Jones writes, "they recommend working around the problem by underclocking the processor to run at 800 MHz instead of its default 900 MHz or 1 GHz."

Advogato poster 1.0.0
http://freshmeat.net/releases/122608/
The Advogato poster is an application that can post multiple diary entries to Advogato using its XML-RPC interface. It will look for files in the current directory with a filename having the following format yyyymmdd.html or yyyymmdd.advogato. If it finds such files, it will load the contents of the file to advogato as diary entries. The application assumes that the yyyymmdd part of the filename represents the date of the diary entry and posts the entries to advogato accordingly. The poster will check with advogato the last entry that was posted and only post files that have a date stamp that is later than the last posted entry.
