Flymake -- an on-the-fly syntax checker for Emacs
flymake.sourceforge.net/, posted 13 Feb by peter in development free opensource software
Flymake is implemented as an Emacs minor mode. It runs the syntax check tool (the compiler for C++ files, perl for perl files, etc.) in the background, passing it a temporary copy of the current buffer and parses the output for known error/warning message atterns. Flymake then highlights erroneous lines (that is, lines for which at least one error or warning has been reported), and displays an overall buffer status in the mode line, as shown on the figure below.

News :: Arachni - Web Application Security Scanner Framework
arachni.segfault.gr/news, posted 26 Jan by peter in development free opensource security software testing
Arachni uses various techniques to compensate for the widely heterogeneous environment of web applications. This includes a combination of widely deployed techniques (taint-analysis, fuzzing, differential analysis, timing/delay attacks) along with novel technologies (rDiff analysis, modular meta-analysis) developed specifically for the framework. This allows the system to make highly informed decisions using a variety of different inputs; a process which diminishes false positives and even uses them to provide human-like insights into the inner workings of web applications.

Introducing FPM - Effing Package Management :: semicomplete.com - Jordan Sissel
www.semicomplete.com/blog/tags/deb, posted 28 Oct by peter in free linux opensource shell software
Having become fed up with dealing with rpmbuild, spec files, debian control files, dh_make, debuild, and the whole lot, I automated my way back to sanity. The result is a tool I call "fpm" which aims to help you make and mangle packages however you choose, all (ideally) without having to care about the internals of your particular native package format. [...] With FPM, you can specify dependencies, architecture, maintainer, etc. All from a simple command line, and never forcing you to learn the pain and suffering that can come with rpm spec files or debian package building.
