Apache Zeta Components (eZ Components)

claimed by Apache Software Foundation

Apache Zeta Components are a high quality, general purpose library of loosely coupled components for the development of applications based on PHP5. Beside typical modules for web application development like a template engine, database tools and an MVC component, Apache Zeta Components contain ... [More] command line tools, a chart rendering library, a WebDAV server, a universal document conversion component and more tools to ease developers' lives. Apache Zeta Components was originally developed by eZ Systems under the name "eZ Components" and was sponsored to the Apache Software Foundation for further development. Since 7/2010 the components have been known as "Apache Zeta Components." eZ Systems still builds their core products on top of Apache Zeta Components and contributes to the project. [Less]

GNU cpio

GNU cpio is an archiver program that handles cpio and tar archives.

duplicity

Duplicity backs up directories by producing encrypted tar-format volumes and uploading them to a remote or local file server. Because duplicity uses librsync, the incremental archives are space efficient and only record the parts of files that have changed since the last backup. Because duplicity ... [More] uses GnuPG to encrypt and/or sign these archives, they will be safe from spying and/or modification by the server. The duplicity package also includes the rdiffdir utility. Rdiffdir is an extension of librsync's rdiff to directories---it can be used to produce signatures and deltas of directories as well as regular files. These signatures and deltas are in GNU tar format. [Less]

rsnapshot

rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility for making backups of local and remote systems. Using rsync and hard links, it is possible to keep multiple, full backups instantly available. The disk space required is just a little more than the space of one full backup, plus incrementals. ... [More] Depending on your configuration, it is quite possible to set up in just a few minutes. Files can be restored by the users who own them, without the root user getting involved. There are no tapes to change, so once it's set up, you may never need to think about it again. rsnapshot is written entirely in Perl. It should work on any reasonably modern UNIX compatible OS, including: Debian, Redhat, Fedora, SuSE, Gentoo, Slackware, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Mac OS X, and even IRIX. [Less]

The Unarchiver

The Unarchiver is a much more capable replacement for "BOMArchiveHelper.app", the built-in archive unpacker program in Mac OS X. The Unarchiver is designed to handle many more formats than BOMArchiveHelper, and to better fit in with the design of the Finder. It can also handle filenames in ... [More] foreign character sets, created with non-English versions of other operating systems. I personally find it useful for opening Japanese archives, but it should handle many other languages just as well. [Less]

otwarchive

An open-source project to develop a robust archiving system with social networking features for hosting fanfiction and other fan works. This software will be used to support the Archive Of Our Own, and we hope also other fan archives. We welcome contributors, and one of our goals is to mentor ... [More] new programmers from our fannish communities whom we hope will help maintain and improve the archive in the future, and also go on to work on other fannish projects. If you're interested in working with us, please contact volunteers@transformativeworks.org! OTW-Archive and The Archive Of Our Own are projects of the Organization for Transformative Works, a nonprofit organization. You can see the public roadmap for the design of this project at the OTW website on our project page. [Less]
