Ubuntu Packages
backports and up-ports of oss.oetiker.ch tools
rrdtool
I have created a backport of RRDTool 1.3.x for Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) and created an upport for the comming Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10).
It's downloadable through my personal PPA at launchpad.net:

ia32-libs
For running commercial binaries and libraries on a Ubuntu Hardy 64 bit setup sometimes some 32bit libraries are missing. This often happens if the software was compiled and released for RedHat Linux only or has some wrapper scripts loading 64bit parts to a 32bit GUI.
To fit these dependencies I have build an additial ia32-libs package, named ia32-libs-oep:

op
The op tool provides a flexible means for system administrators to grant access to certain root operations without having to give them full superuser privileges in a similar way like sudo (but better :-)).
Different sets of users may access different operations, and the security-related aspects of each operation can be carefully controlled.
We use op since several years but now the tool is also included in Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04). As we still running some clients with Ubuntu Feisty Fawn I have backported the op tool to this release:
Download the op backport for Ubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04) from my launchpad PPA (personal archive on launchpad):
cfengine
The cfengine tool provides
cfengine (version 1) was removed form Ubuntu Hardy as described in the bug 6624 at launchpad.net.
I have now rebuild the cfengine-1.6.5 package for Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 (ia32, amd64) based on the Ubuntu Edgy sources with the following modifications:
- removed the gcc4 patch (015gcc4fix)
- added getopt patch (attached to this comment)
cfengine runs without any segfaults and works as expected.

faked tetex-bin
I'm using the texlive LaTeX distribution on my Ubuntu Hardy Heron client and from time to time I use the KDE Editor kile to write my TeX files.
Installing kile on the Ubuntu 8.04 installs also the tetex packages which may give "search path troubles" with the concurrently installed texlive environment.
By 'faking' an empty tetex-bin package with the equivs tools, kile can be installed regulary with the apt tools breaking up the dependencies to the whole tetex distribution.
