Bitflu [1] (under The Artistic License [2]) is a free BitTorrent client. The client was written in Perl and is designed to run as a daemon (7×24h , like mlnet) on Linux, *BSD and maybe even OSX.

* Multiple downloads
* Designed to run as a daemon/No GUI: You can connect to the client via telnet and/or http (AJAX)
* Security: The client can chroot itself and drop privileges
* Bandwith shaping (currently only upload)
* Crash-Proof design: Crashes or a full filesystem will never corrupt your downloads again
* Non-Threading/Non-Forking design: All connections are handled in non-blocking state using a dynamic select loop

So mal wieder was PHPiges:

PHOCOA [1] (pronounced faux-ko) is a PHP framework (licensed under the MIT License) for developing web applications. PHOCOA’s primary intent is to make web application development in PHP easier, faster, and higher-quality. The framework handles most of the “dirty work” of web application development by providing infrastructure for all of the common tasks. Most of your time writing PHOCOA apps will be spent designing your GUI and writing application-specific logic rather than dealing with form data, database calls, etc.

PHOCOA is an object-oriented, event-driven, componentized, MVC (model-view-controller) web framework inspired by Apple’s Cocoa and WebObjects technologies.

If you like to make automated snapshots and releases of the latest tagged version of your git repo, try the following bash script. It also generates a sha1sum and a md5sum file:

#!/bin/bash
DEST_DIR=/var/www/example.com/downloads/myproject
GIT_DIR=/var/cache/git/myproject.git
(
cd $GIT_DIR;
git archive --format=tar HEAD | gzip > ${DEST_DIR}/daily-snapshot.tar.gz
latest_tag=`git-tag | tail -n 1`;
if [ ! -f "${DEST_DIR}/${latest_tag}.tar.gz" ]
then
git archive –format=tar $latest_tag | gzip > ${DEST_DIR}/${latest_tag}.tar.gz
git-log > ${DEST_DIR}/changelog.txt
fi
cd $DEST_DIR;
echo “” > ./md5sums.txt;
ls -a *.tar.gz | xargs md5sum >> ./md5sums.txt;
echo “” > ./sha1sums.txt;
ls -a *.tar.gz | xargs sha1sum >> ./sha1sums.txt;
)
