ION-DTN (mirror)
Delay-Tolerant Networking suitable for spacecraft and ground
11/21/2025 * Official distribution sites for ION and ION-core have moved to GitHub: https://github.com/nasa-jpl/ION-DTN https://github.com/nasa-jpl/ion-core * ION documentation: https://ion-dtn.readthedocs.io/ Download link for new releases (after ION 4.1.2) is posted below. Please report all issues to GitHub. Submissions to this site will not be monitored. ============================= ION development is managed by the Jet Propulsion Lab. The Interplanetary Overlay Network (ION) software distribution implements Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) architecture, as described in Internet RFC 9171. It is designed for use in embedded environments, including spacecraft flight computers and ground systems. ION 4.1.3s is the last version to provide both BPv7 and v6. Starting ION 4.1.4, only BPv7 code will be available. -

fpart
Sort files and pack them into partitions
Fpart is a tool that helps you sort file trees and pack them into bags (called "partitions"). It is developped in C and available under the BSD license. It splits a list of directories and file trees into a certain number of partitions, trying to produce partitions with the same size and number of files. It can also produce partitions with a given number of files or a limited size. Once generated, partitions are either printed as file lists to stdout (default) or to files. Those lists can then be used by third party programs. Fpart also includes a live mode, which allows it to crawl very large filesystems and produce partitions in live. Hooks are available to act on those partitions (e.g. immediatly start a transfer using rsync(1)) without having to wait for the filesystem traversal job to be finished. Used this way, fpart can be seen as a powerful data migration tool. -

FreeBSD GNOME LiveCD
FreeBSD GNOME LiveCD built using the latest development ports
Latest stable version - GNOME 3.26 - working Latest unstable version - GNOME 3.27 - working This project provides live systems built using the latest FreeBSD release and the latest GNOME ports from the FreeBSD GNOME project. Scripts used to build the LiveCDs are also available for downloading. The scripts are largely based on this article: https://wiki.freebsd.org/AndriyGapon/AvgLiveCD Note: This is not a general-purpose LiveCD! I track the development version instead of the stable version. If you want to do things other than previewing the latest (possibly unstable) GNOME release, please download the scripts to make your own LiveCDs. If any bug is found, please download the debug version LiveCD to find the cause and report it to the FreeBSD GNOME project or GNOME bugzilla. Starting from GNOME 3.12, most portability patches are merged upstream, so you can also directly use JHBuild on FreeBSD to check whether an issue is already fixed in the upstream. -

DavUtils
Powerful webdav client and sync tools with client-side AES encryption
DavUtils is a collection of easy to use WebDAV client tools. The built-in client-side encryption allows you to encrypt and decrypt files on the fly with AES. Currently two command line tools are available: dav is a multipurpose WebDAV client that can be used like the standard unix tools ls, mkdir and rm. The other tool is dav-sync that can synchronize local files with a WebDAV server. It is very flexible and configurable and has advanced data safety features to prevent data loss. The integrated client-side AES encryption makes it secure to use public clouds. -
