Fedora 13 R Packages for Fast Filtering

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Here are some additional R RPM packages for Fast Filtering that I built for Fedora 13. These are over and above the stock Fedora packages. I did search far and wide for them and could find any. Here is a list of packages:
R-bit-1.1.4-1.fc13.i686.rpm
R-bit-1.1.4-1.fc13.src.rpm
R-ff-2.1.2-1.fc13.i686.rpm
R-ff-2.1.2-1.fc13.src.rpm
The packages can be downloaded at my CNG academic site.

New Botan, the C++ Crypto Library, built for Fedora 13 with Python Bindings Enabled and the RSA_PrivateKey fix

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Here are the same Botan Fedora 13 RPMs with the RSA_PrivateKey fix:

http://cng.ateneo.edu/cng/wyu/software/rpm/botan-1.9.3-2.fc13.i686.rpm
http://cng.ateneo.edu/cng/wyu/software/rpm/botan-devel-1.9.3-2.fc13.i686.rpm
http://cng.ateneo.edu/cng/wyu/software/srpm/botan-1.9.3-2.fc13.src.rpm
http://cng.ateneo.net/cng/wyu/software/patch/botan-1.9.3-loadkeyfix.patch

This patch allows generating a RSA_PrivateKey with a PEM string but without a passphrase. Which makes sense because there is no way to generate a PEM string with a passphrase with the botan python bindings anyway.
Good luck!

Barry, the Blackberry Sync Tool, Built for Fedora 8

Sunday, December 9th, 2007

While browsing the Internet for tools to make my Blackberry on Linux life easier. I bumped into a really well maintained project called Barry. Unfortunately, it does not have Fedora 8 binaries yet. So, I took the liberty of building them.
Here they are for download:

http://cng.ateneo.edu/cng/wyu/software/rpm/barry-gui-0.11-1.i386.rpm
http://cng.ateneo.edu/cng/wyu/software/rpm/barry-opensync-0.11-1.i386.rpm
http://cng.ateneo.edu/cng/wyu/software/rpm/barry-util-0.11-1.i386.rpm
http://cng.ateneo.edu/cng/wyu/software/rpm/libbarry-0.11-1.i386.rpm

And the source RPM can be found here:
