Patches

Here, we will find some patches and personalization I've done on various free software. All these patches are available under the LGPL.

These patches are based on the sources SRPMs provided with the Linux-SuSE-7.1 distribution.

fileutils-4.0.34

Two modifications on fileutils:

• ls: I've reverted to use strcmp instead of strcoll to sort the file names, because changing the sort order (when LC_COLLATE is not explicitely set to "") incurs cockpit errors with the user (me).
• rm: Well no, I'm not such a weenie to run rm -rf / under root, but bugs occurs, and in any shell script containing a rm -rf ${DIR}/${SUBDIR}, it may happen that both DIR and SUBDIR are empty. Therefore, here is a safe rm that will protect the / directory and common found subdirectories of /.

Small patches to ls (sorting like before) and rm (protecting / and some common subdirectories of /)

Maelstrom-3.0.1

This patch implements correct tore clipping, where a part of an object disappearing on the right side will appear (immediately and simultaneously) on the left side of the screen, and likewise for the bottom-top border. Therefore, there is no blind area.

At least, this game becomes playable.

Downloading Maelstrom

A patch to Maelstrom 3.0.1 implementing a correct tore clipping, and without masking any part of the tore. For now, I only provide the patch, RPM and SRPM will be available soon.
