Xdialog is designed to be a drop in replacement for the "dialog" or
"cdialog" programs. It converts any terminal based program into a
program with an X-windows interface. The dialogs are easier to see
and use while adding even more functionalities.
xcoloredit provides a graphical method of mixing the three primary
colors available on a colour workstation. This mixing can be done
using the Red, Green and Blue slider controls on the left of the
window or using the Hue, Satu- ration and Value slider controls on the
right.
gmrun is a very featureful GTK+-2 Run box. Its features include:
* Tilde completion
* Completion for separate words
* Cycleable command history
* Configuration file in ${PREFIX}/share/gmrun/gmrunrc,
which can be copied to ~/.gmrunrc
* Can spawn commands in a terminal
* Intelligent URL handling
Tools for generating IP based Geo-block-ing and Geo-routing tables in
order to configure the system's firewall and/or routing facilities
In general, routing is determined by destination IP addresses, and access
control by the firewall is established by selectors that can be attrib-
uted to incoming and outgoing IP packets, like physical interfaces on
which the packets are going, source and target IP addresses, protocol
types, port numbers, content types and content, etc. The Geo-location
would be just another selector, but this information is not carried
explicitly with IP packets, however, it can be obtained using an IP
address as a key for looking-up the location in an IP database.
Online databases do exist, but these are usually limited to single queries
and in addition the look-up in an online database is by far too slow for
even thinking about being utilized at the firewall level, where IP packets
need to be processed in a microsecond time scale. Therefore, a locally
maintained Geo-location database is indispensable in the given respect.
The System's own routing and filtering tables can be configured to do
these tasks if there is a source of the appropriate data. The ipdbtools(1)
are designed to provide this data and to assist managing and using it.
GigaBASE: Object-Relational Database Management System
GigaBASE inherits most of the features of FastDB, but uses page pool
instead of direct mapping of file on virtual memory. So GigaBASE is able
to handle database, which size significantly exceeds size of computer
physical memory. Convenient and flexible C++ interface makes development
of application for GigaBASE very easy and automatic scheme evaluation
simplifies maintenance and modification of the system. GigaBASE merges
best features of relational (simple data structure and non-procedural
query language) and object-oriented (direct object references, user
defined types and methods) databases. GigaBASE is primary oriented on
application requiring fast data retrieving by means of indices and
direct object references, such as Web Server databases applications.
SUBSQL utility can be used for database browsing and inspection,
performing online backups, database recovery, importing data to and
exporting data from database. GigaBASE will perform automatic recovery
after system or application crash, you should not worry about it. The
only thing you can have to do manually is stopping all database
application if one of them is crashed leaving database blocked.
A built-package format for Python.
A wheel is a ZIP-format archive with a specially formatted filename and the
.whl extension. It is designed to contain all the files for a PEP 376
compatible install in a way that is very close to the on-disk format.
Many packages will be properly installed with only the "Unpack" step (simply
extracting the file onto sys.path), and the unpacked archive preserves enough
information to "Spread" (copy data and scripts to their final locations)
at any later time.
The wheel project provides a bdist_wheel command for setuptools (requires
setuptools >= 0.8.0). Wheel files can be installed with a newer pip from
https://github.com/pypa/pip or with wheel's own command line utility.
ipsvd is a set of internet protocol service daemons.
It currently includes a TCP/IP service daemon, and a UDP/IP service daemon.
An internet protocol service (ipsv) daemon waits for incoming connections
on a local socket. On incoming connections, the ipsv daemon conditionally
runs an arbitrary program with standard input reading from the socket, and
standard output writing to the socket, that handles the connection.
Standard error is used for logging.
ipsv daemons can be told to read and follow pre-defined instructions on
how to handle incoming connections. It's possible to run different
programs, or to set a different environment, or to deny a connection, or
to set a per host concurrency limit, depending on the client's address or
hostname.
Normally the ipsv daemons are run by a supervisor process, such as runsv
from the runit package, or supervise from the daemontools package.
ipsvd can be used to run services normally run by inetd, xinetd, or tcpserver.
GNU Parallel is a shell tool for executing jobs in parallel using one
or more machines. A job is typically a single command or a small
script that has to be run for each of the lines in the input. The
typical input is a list of files, a list of hosts, a list of users, or
a list of tables.
If you use xargs today you will find GNU Parallel very easy to use. If
you write loops in shell, you will find GNU Parallel may be able to
replace most of the loops and make them run faster by running jobs in
parallel. If you use ppss or pexec you will find GNU Parallel will
often make the command easier to read.
GNU Parallel also makes sure output from the commands is the same
output as you would get had you run the commands sequentially. This
makes it possible to use output from GNU Parallel as input for other
programs.
Spellutils is a suite of programs which are used to isolate some parts
or texts from various types of files and hand them over to another
program which may change the texts; it is typically a spell checker.
Afterwards the possibly changed text parts are copied back in place in
the original file.
1) The newsbody utility
The program newsbody is a utility to isolate the body part of a news or
email message in a separate file and then call some other program which
may change the body, and eventually merge the headers with the possibly
changed body. Optionally quotes and/or signature can be removed too, as
well as all or selected header lines can be kept.
2) The pospell utility
The program pospell is a utility to isolate the translations from a .po
file, then call some other program which may change the translations
(typically a spell checker), and eventually copy them back in place in
the .po file.
Crux is a software toolkit for molecular phylogenetic inference. It is
structured as a set of Python modules, which makes it possible to quickly
develop Python scripts that perform unique, non-canned analyses. Features
include:
* Tree log-likelihoods can be computed under a variety of models,
including all specializations of GTR+I+G and mixture models. Tree
likelihoods can be computed in parallel via pthreads.
* Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods (with Metropolis
coupling) can sample among non-nested models using reversible model
jumps.
* Crux is capable of simulating character data under any model its
likelihood engine is capable of.
* The neighbor joining (NJ) and relaxed neighbor joining (RNJ)
implementations are among the fastest in existence.
* Pairwise distances between sequences can be computed based on percent
identity, or using methods that correct for multiple hits
(Jukes-Cantor, Kimura, and logDet).
