Provides (roughly) the same functionality as pear-Net-DNS, but using
PHP5 objects, exceptions for error handling, better sockets support.
ok sthen@ who has some tweaks to put on top of this.
uses random to devote "part of a core" to running squiggles instead
of normal jobs.
(might be useful for finetuning clusters with lots of dual-core boxen)
sslScanner is an open source Perl application which connects to a range
of hosts/ports which are running SSL based services such as HTTPS.
It then displays the certificate CN and how long is left until the
certificate expires. It also has a mode suitable for use from cron(8),
to alert on certificates expiring within a certain number of days.
Net::SSL::ExpireDate fetches a certificate from the network (SSL) or local
file, obtains its start and expiration dates, and allows validity to be
tested or dates to be returned.
- ezpublish, no maintainer, last updated 2009/08/24
- mantis, no maintainer, out of date
- phplist, very outdated and no-one maintains it
- phpmemcachedadmin, port only extract the distfile and that's it
- vtigercrm, port only extract the distfile and that's it
While we do this in a case-by-case basis, this was done for one of the
following reasons:
* do not give user a sense of security because there is a pkg available
when it is in fact outdated/unmaintained and including possible security
issues
* package with no added value besides extracting the distfile under
/var/www are pretty useless -- they demand an effort to be kept up to
date for no benefits (except if someone actually maintains it of course)
* some webapps must complete a strict version update path -- eg.
updating from 1.0 to 1.5 requires updating to 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4
first -- that does not work well with pkg

PS: no we are not in a rampage to remove lots of www apps -- just some when
it makes sense
based on a suggestion by naddy@, reserve some cores on big hosts (>=4cpu)
to build the queue in reverse.
Those cores show up as ~ in the core list.
This gets rid of a large part of the exponential tail, where we spend
a lot of time waiting for locks...
each host takes care of keeping its squiggles "alive". This may
include moving the squiggle property when the core gets swallowed,
and making sure listing/fetch/update distinfo cores are not squiggles.
