Source: Freshmeat Daily News rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another. The target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs are stored in a special directory so you can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an incremental backup. rdiff-backup can also operate in a bandwidth- efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup and ssh to securely back up to a remote location, and only the differences will be transmitted. It can also handle symlinks, device files, permissions, ownership, etc., so it can be used on the entire file system.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News cryptmount is a utility for GNU/Linux operating systems which allows an ordinary user to mount an encrypted filesystem. cryptmount was written to address differences between the capabilities of the loopback device and the newer, preferred, device-mapper mechanisms of the 2.6 kernel series, which make it more difficult for a non-root user to configure the devices necessary for access to an encrypted filesystem. After the initial configuration of the encrypted filesystem, an ordinary user can mount and unmount the filesystem on demand, solely by providing the decryption password.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
A small bug in build scripts, mostly relevant to package builders,
has been fixed. A .spec file was added to aid building of RPM
packages.

Source: Freshmeat Daily News WAVE Utilities is a set of three programs for dealing with WAVE format audio files. Some software is unable to parse complex WAVE files containing such things as playlists and padding. SimplifyWave converts complex files into files that such programs can read by stripping everything other than the data chunk. RepairWave inserts the required data chunk id and size information into ill-formed files in which the audio data directly follows the header. InfoWave extracts information from a RIFF/WAV or RIFX/WAV file and reports on the contents of the file.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)

Source: Freshmeat Daily News Common Configuration Parser (CCP) is a program
that reads configuration files and upgrades them.
It takes an oldfile (typically the configuration
file currently in use) and a newfile (typically
the default new configuration file) and optionally
a template (a file that describes how the
generated configuration file should look) and
merges the files into one, creating a new
configuration file that has the changes made to
the old file in addition to the new options
included in the new file. It is completely
independent of the program that created the
configuration file, and can be used for many
different purposes such as merging changes between
an old user-edited configuration file and a
.rpmnew file generated by RPM during upgrades.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
