To maintain the GNU project web server, we use a lot of different free
software. Most of them are already available on the Internet, but we also
have some software which has been developed by GNU volunteers and has
never been released as GNU software. We feel that those programs should
also be made available so that others can make use of them and this page
is a list of such programs.
This is a shell script with the purpose of rotating accounting logs and to
optionally compress old log files. A somewhat more limited script similar
in operation to this is included in most Debian GNU/Linux distributions.
This is another shell script with the purpose of making diff's of files
when they change and to send an email informing about the change to a list
of recipients. This script is used to keep administrators aware of
changes to the configuration of the webserver and other servers. It is also
used to inform editors of translations of GNU web pages into other languages
about changes to the original English document.
This is a program made in Emacs LISP that is used to check references
in HTML documents. It takes the file input.txt as input which contains
a list of HTML documents and outputs te file output.txt. The output
file contains information of documents which can not be reached at all
and documents which can only be reached by following more than two links.
We use this to make sure that all important documents can be reached
fairly easy from the main page.
This shell script creates a webpage
with a list of the last 25 software releases and their ChangeLog
on the FSF's FTP server.
