It is a unique archive with more than a 50 functions that you can access directly from the command line, without clicking, windows and losing no time. Could you please make the description more informative with regards to what it really can do. Something like: Collection of Bash scripts to execute various tasks, such as calculator, time manipulation, currency rate query, whois queries and Google searches. Scripts and documentation are in Portuguese. A native English speaker perhaps wants to polish that a bit and suggest a short description. The functions ZZ are result of work done in free time of two people helped by various collaborators with the objective of making these tools available for the community. I don't think this is needed in the package description. - Nikke -- Niklas Vainio [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#229256: Update
I decided it's better to rewrite this tool based on the unrarlib. The result is available here: http://pingviini.net/nikke/debian/free-unrar-0.1.tar.gz I haven't packaged and uploaded it yet because it lacks some features such as the ability to use wildcards. Help is welcome. - Nikke -- Niklas Vainio [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#229256: correction
Actually, now it seems the file I mentioned originally is better than the one I wrote. That should be used. I don't remember why I thought it is better to write my own. - Nikke -- Niklas Vainio [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Bug#229256: ITP: unrar -- free utility to list and extract RAR archives

Bug#208405: ITP: ldap-account-manager -- LDAP Account Manager (LAM) manages Unix and Samba accounts in a LDAP directory.

Perhaps this should be something like webfrontend for managing accounts stored in an openLDAP server. It runs on a webserver and is controlled via your browser. It supports the Samba 2.x and Samba 3 schema. There is also a script included which manages quota and homedirectories, you have to setup sudo if you want to use it. LAM can be accessed at http(s)://localhost/lam. Please replace it with name of the program and give more description of what the program does also in the long description. I would describe more features as well (LDAP+SSL, multi-language support etc.) The last sentence doesn't belong in the package description, I think. - Nikke -- Niklas Vainio [EMAIL PROTECTED]
