dozen helper-libraries that can be used to obtain keywords from common
file-types.
libextractor is a part of the GNU project (http://www.gnu.org/).

Fedora EPEL 5 Update: daemonize-1.5.6-1.el5

Fedora EPEL Update Notification
FEDORA-EPEL-2009-0060

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : daemonize
Product : Fedora EPEL 5
Version : 1.5.6
Release : 1.el5
URL : http://www.clapper.org/software/daemonize/
Summary : Run a command as a Unix daemon
Description :
daemonize runs a command as a Unix daemon. As defined in W. Richard Stevens'
1990 book, Unix Network Programming (Addison-Wesley, 1990), a daemon is "a
process that executes 'in the background' (i.e., without an associated
terminal or login shell) either waiting for some event to occur, or waiting
to perform some specified task on a periodic basis." Upon startup, a typical
daemon program will:
- Close all open file descriptors (especially standard input, standard output
and standard error)
- Change its working directory to the root filesystem, to ensure that it
doesn’t tie up another filesystem and prevent it from being unmounted
- Reset its umask value
- Run in the background (i.e., fork)
- Disassociate from its process group (usually a shell), to insulate itself
from signals (such as HUP) sent to the process group
- Ignore all terminal I/O signals
- Disassociate from the control terminal (and take steps not to reacquire one)
- Handle any SIGCLD signals
Most programs that are designed to be run as daemons do that work for
themselves. However, you’ll occasionally run across one that does not.
When you must run a daemon program that does not properly make itself into a
true Unix daemon, you can use daemonize to force it to run as a true daemon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Initial release.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use
su -c 'yum update daemonize' at the command line.

Name : octave
Product : Fedora EPEL 5
Version : 3.0.5
Release : 1.el5
URL : http://www.octave.org
Summary : A high-level language for numerical computations
Description :
GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical
computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for
solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing
other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible
with Matlab. It may also be used as a batch-oriented language. Octave
has extensive tools for solving common numerical linear algebra
problems, finding the roots of nonlinear equations, integrating
ordinary functions, manipulating polynomials, and integrating ordinary
differential and differential-algebraic equations. It is easily
extensible and customizable via user-defined functions written in
Octave's own language, or using dynamically loaded modules written in
C++, C, Fortran, or other languages.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Update Octave to upstream 3.0.5, that fixes most of the reported bugs since
3.0.1. Also update Octave Forge to newest version compatible with Octave 3.0.5.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use
su -c 'yum update octave' at the command line.

enumerating available token certificates, or selecting a certificate directly
by serialized id, handling card removal and card insert events, handling card
re-insert to a different slot, supporting session expiration and much more all
using a simple API.

Name : lyx
Product : Fedora EPEL 5
Version : 1.6.3
Release : 1.el5
URL : http://www.lyx.org/
Summary : WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean) document processor
Description :
LyX is a modern approach to writing documents which breaks with the
obsolete "typewriter paradigm" of most other document preparation
systems.
It is designed for people who want professional quality output
with a minimum of time and effort, without becoming specialists in
typesetting.
The major innovation in LyX is WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Mean).
That is, the author focuses on content, not on the details of formatting.
This allows for greater productivity, and leaves the final typesetting
to the backends (like LaTeX) that are specifically designed for the task.
With LyX, the author can concentrate on the contents of his writing,
and let the computer take care of the rest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
New release from the stable series (mostly bugfixes), obsoleting much older qt3
and xforms based lyx frontends previously found in EPEL. See also:
