Tom Alsberg's hacks

Here are some little hacks of me - pieces of code, patches to others' code, small scripts, etc etc.

• A patch to Apache httpd 2.0.49 to enable allowing overriding only some options in .htaccess files, adding an AllowOverrideOpts directive to the directory context in the configuration.
• mimefilter – A MIME parsing filter for mail messages and vieweing them in text pagers.
• conf2d – A script that converts a “legacy” pam.conf file to the newer pam.d directory structure.
• spefigure – A small shell script to run a program (usually a configure script) with some predefined parameter sets - sounds silly, but it is handy, at least for me…
• tracksort – A small shell script that takes a tree of sound tracks of various file types, and creates links to tracks in it from directories sorted by their file type.
• A patch to xosview 1.7.3 – corrects interrupt count in non-SMP interrupt meter in Linux 2.2 and later, and puts binaries in exec-prefix…
• XExec – a handy customizable launcher for X11
• An old patch for Enlightenment 0.16.5 – makes iconbox configuration a bit more flexible. I sent this patch to the enlightenment-devel mailing list, I couldn't see if they accepted it, since they didn't release any new version of Enlightenment 0.16 yet (Enlightenment 17 will be a almost complete rewrite). Update: (2004-05-31) there are some new versions of Enlightenment 0.16, and they haven't integrated this patch yet. On the other hand, on the latest snapshot, this patch doesn't apply properly anymore, so I'll probably some time update it to the newest Enlightenment. When I have it fixed up for the latest version I'll send it to them again.
• update-apt.sh – a small shell script I wrote to update the Packages and Sources (and Packages.gz and Sources.gz) files for a given distribution in a Debian apt source.
