// about me
\\ Some personal information
I'm working with computers since 1990. First with a C64, then a Commodore PC10, 486 and bigger. With PC's i started with DOS, Windows (noone is perfect), OS/2 and then Linux.

If you really want to contact me try my email address found on the bottom of this site. Or join IRC, channel #german in Undernet, Nick: Joerg, channel #debian.de at irc.debian.org, Nick: Ganneff.
\\ Some (more or less) important links
Debian GNU/* The Debian Project is the largest GNU/Linux-Distribution named Debian GNU/Linux and released for more then eleven Architectures (including intel x86 and IA-64, Motorola 680x0, Alpha, IBM S/390, Sun SPARC, Mips). The Project consists of more than 1000 developers creating the Distribution according to the strict policies Debian has.
There are two other ports, they are work in progress and not yet released. They are the port to Sparc64, the 64bit Sun UltraSparc Workstation Processor and the port to SH, the Hitachi SuperH Processor.
In the near future Debian will not only support the Linux Kernel but will add support for other Kernels like the HURD, the NetBSD and the FreeBSD one.
That means Debian supports eleven architectures right now with all packages and there are 5 upcoming architectures to support. Tell me only one other Distribution that is able to do this.
Packages The Debian Distribution consist of more than 10000 Packages (unstable) now. Hey, thats huge, really. On this website you can search for a specific package.
Packages I support. A real useful site with many Information about my packages.
SPI SPI is a non-profit organization which was founded to help organizations develop and distribute open hardware and software.
Im a contributing Member there.

 

// Work I do for Debian
First I maintain a bunch of packages, see below for list.
I also sponsor people who are not yet a Debian Developer, so they can maintain their own packages.
Then I'm working as an Application Manager for Debian to help People in the New Maintainer Queue to become a Debian Developer.

 

// CVS Repository for my packages
I maintain (most) of my packages using CVS (except the ones with too much symlinks, a thing that CVS doesnt handle and the packages which are hosted on alioth.debian.org). You can always take a look at my CVS Tree if you want. But note that this is on my PC at home, it may not be online for 24hours. And you wont find the lg-issue* packages there. Only lg-meta and lg-base and the scripts I use. The issues are mostly static, so no need for CVS.

Linux Gazette, a member of the Linux Documentation Project, is an on-line WWW publication dedicated to two simple ideas: making Linux just a little more fun and sharing ideas and discoveries.
The Linux Gazette is packaged in many different packages. They are
lg-base This contains the shared files from the Linux Gazette magazine.
lg-issueXX Each lg-issueXX package contains one of the Linux Gazette issues (except lg-issue01to08, this contains issue01 to 08).
lg-all If you want to install issues just install this meta package, it depends on all other packages.
lg-subscription If you only want the latest issue install this meta package, it depends always on the latest and conflicts with all other packages.
lg-latest-two If you want the latest two issues, this is for you. Conflicts with all, except the latest two. It depends on them.
libterm-readkey-perl (Info) (Bugs) (QA-Testing) (QA-Unstable) (Buildd-Reports) ( Homepage) A perl module for simple terminal control
Term::ReadKey is a compiled perl module dedicated to providing simple control over terminal driver modes (cbreak, raw, cooked, etc.,) support for non-blocking reads, if the architecture allows, and some generalized handy functions for working with terminals. One of the main goals is to have the functions as portable as possible, so you can just plug in "use Term::ReadKey" on any architecture and have a good likelyhood of it working.
libterm-readline-gnu-perl (Info) (Bugs) (QA-Testing) (QA-Unstable) (Buildd-Reports) ( Homepage) Perl extension for the GNU Readline/History Library
This is an implementation of a Perl interface to the GNU Readline Library. This module gives you input line editing, input history management, word completion, and other similar facilities. This module gives you access to almost all variables and functions documented in the GNU ReadLine/History Library. This means you can write your custom editing function, your custom completion function, and so on with Perl. You may find it useful for prototyping before programming with C.
libterm-readline-perl-perl (Info) (Bugs) (QA-Testing) (QA-Unstable) ( Homepage) Perl implementation of Readline libraries
This is a quick implementation of the minimal interface to Readline libraries. The implementation is made in Perl (mostly) by Jeffrey Friedl. The only thing this library does is to make it conformant (and add some minimal changes, like using Term::ReadKey if present, and correct work under xterm).
mailfilter (Info) (Bugs) (QA-Testing) (QA-Unstable) (Buildd-Reports) ( Homepage) A program that filters your incoming e-mail to help remove spam.
Mailfilter is very flexible utility for UNIX (-like) operating systems to get rid of unwanted e-mail messages, before having to go through the trouble of downloading them to the local computer. It offers support for one or many POP3 accounts and is especially useful for dialup connections via modem, ISDN, etc. Install Mailfilter if you'd like to remove spam from your POP3 mail accounts.
With Mailfilter you can define your own filters (rules) to determine which e-mails should be delivered and which are considered waste. Rules are Regular Expressions, so you can make use of familiar options from other mail delivery programs such as e.g. procmail.
If you do not get your mail from a POP3-Server you don't need Mailfilter.
muddleftpd (Info) (Bugs) (QA-Testing) (QA-Unstable) (Buildd-Reports) (Homepage) A flexible and efficient FTP daemon
MuddleFTPd has been designed from the ground up to be efficient, configurable and to be tolerant of being run in root or non-root mode. This server enables users to set up a variety of configurations, from a traditional FTP server using the password file for everything, to using the password file for nothing running entirely as a single user.
nstreams (Info) (Bugs) (QA-Testing) (QA-Unstable) (Buildd-Reports) ( Homepage) network streams - a tcpdump output analyzer
Nstreams is a utility designed to identify the IP streams that are occurring on a network from a non-user friendly tcpdump output of several megabytes. This is especially useful when you plan to install a firewall but if you do not know the nstreams that the network users are generating (http, real audio, and more...).
Nstreams can read the tcpdump output directly from stdin, or from a file. It can even generate the configuration file of your firewall.
smake (Info) (Bugs) (QA-Testing) (QA-Unstable) (Buildd-Reports) ( Homepage) Schily make. Portable, extensible make
