ReportLab is a software library that lets you directly create
documents in Adobe's Portabe Document Format (PDF) using the Python
programming language.
The ReportLab library directly creates PDF based on your graphics
commands. There are no intervening steps. Your applications can
generate reports extremely fast - sometimes orders of magnitude
faster than traditional report-writing tools.
The ReportLab library is expected to be useful in at least the
following contexts:
- Dynamic PDF generation on the web
- High-volume corporate reporting and database publishing
- An embeddable print engine for other applications, including
a 'report language' so that users can customize their own reports.
- A 'build system' for complex documents with charts, tables
and text such as management accounts, statistical reports and
scientific papers
- Going from XML to PDF in one step!

This is JadeTeX, a TeX backend for Jade.
JadeTeX enables you to produce formatted output of documents written
with the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML). JadeTeX uses
tex to produce Device Independent (DVI) output; from there, you can
produce high quality hardcopy. JadeTeX also uses pdftex to produce
Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) versions of your documents,
complete with hyperlinks, and suitable for distribution on the World
Wide Web and other media.
To use JadeTex, run your SGML document, its Document Type Definition
(DTD), and its Document Style Semantics and Specification Language
(DSSSL) specification, through jade with the "-t tex" option. Then,
to produce a DVI file, run
etex "&jadetex" <file>.tex
To produce a PDF file, run
pdftex "&pdfjadetex" <file>.tex
Portscout is a tool which looks for new versions of software in the
FreeBSD ports tree, and potentially other software repositories. It
is also possible to provide an arbitrary list of software in a simple
XML format.
Various factors make this task a bit more difficult than it might
initially seem. In particular, the array of weird and wonderful
versioning schemes software vendors manage to come up with.
Portscout spawns several child processes and does its version checking
in parallel, while attempting to best-guess strange-looking version
numbers, navigate around unhelpful sites and web servers, and contend
with the CPU-heavy rapidly-expanding FreeBSD ports system.
In addition to all this, it is possible to generate nice HTML reports
and send reminder mails to interested parties.
bayesm covers many important models used in marketing and micro-econometrics
applications. The package includes: Bayes Regression (univariate or
multivariate dep var), Bayes Seemingly Unrelated Regression (SUR), Binary and
Ordinal Probit, Multinomial Logit (MNL) and Multinomial Probit (MNP),
Multivariate Probit, Negative Binomial (Poisson) Regression, Multivariate
Mixtures of Normals (including clustering), Dirichlet Process Prior Density
Estimation with normal base, Hierarchical Linear Models with normal prior and
covariates, Hierarchical Linear Models with a mixture of normals prior and
covariates, Hierarchical Multinomial Logits with a mixture of normals prior
and covariates, Hierarchical Multinomial Logits with a Dirichlet Process
prior and covariates, Hierarchical Negative Binomial Regression Models,
Bayesian analysis of choice-based conjoint data, Bayesian treatment of linear
instrumental variables models, and Analysis of Multivariate Ordinal survey
data with scale usage heterogeneity (as in Rossi et al, JASA (01)).
The MIT Photonic-Bands (MPB) package is a free program for computing the band
structures (dispersion relations) and electromagnetic modes of periodic
dielectric structures, on both serial and parallel computers. It was developed
by Steven G. Johnson at MIT in the Joannopoulos Ab Initio Physics group.
This program computes definite-frequency eigenstates of Maxwell's equations in
periodic dielectric structures for arbitrary wavevectors, using fully-vectorial
and three-dimensional methods. It is especially designed for the study of
photonic crystals (a.k.a. photonic band-gap materials), but is also applicable
to many other problems in optics, such as waveguides and resonator systems.
(For example, it can solve for the modes of waveguides with arbitrary cross-
sections.)
Kalzium is your digital replacement for the periodic table on paper.
It is a program that visualizes the periodic table of elements (PSE)
and includes basic information about all common elements in the PSE.
It has gained much more functions over time.
FEATURES
- Versatile overview of all important data from the elements like
melting points, electron affinity, electron negativity, electron
configuration, radii, mass, ionisation energy.
- Tool to visualize the spectral lines of each element.
- Different colored views for the PSE: separation of the different
blocks, year simulator, temperature simulator.
- Molecular weight calculator.
- An isotope table.
- 3D molecule editor, with a load and save functionality.
- An equation solver for stoichiometric problems.
- Filetype conversion for different types of chemical programs.
- Tool to produce a comprehesive list of all risk and safety
statements.
Gnome-keyring is a program that keep password and other secrets for
users. It is run as a damon in the session, similar to ssh-agent, and
other applications can locate it by an environment variable.
The program can manage several keyrings, each with its own master
password, and there is also a session keyring which is never stored to
disk, but forgotten when the session ends.
The library libgnome-keyring is used by applications to integrate with
the gnome keyring system. However, at this point the library hasn't been
tested and used enought to consider the API to be publically
exposed. Therefore use of libgnome-keyring is at the moment limited to
internal use in the gnome desktop. However, we hope that the
gnome-keyring API will turn out useful and good, so that later it
can be made public for any application to use.

Hpenc is a fast encryption command line tool with the following features:
* Authenticated encryption - your data cannot be forged or corrupted without
detection.
* Parallel processing - hpenc uses block IO and you can process multiple blocks
simultaneously, which is extremely useful if you have multi-core environment.
* Strong ciphers - hpenc uses the state-of-art aes-gcm and chacha20 ciphers
* Easy interface
* Hardware acceleration - hpenc can utilize all its
advanced cryptography functions defined for AES-NI and PCLMULQDQ instructions
(that must be supported by openssl). For those with old or embedded CPU (such
as ARM), hpenc provides portable and fast chacha20 cipher.
* Simple key management
* Secure random numbers generator - hpenc can work as pseudo-random numbers
generator. In a set of standard tests (diehard) on the generated sequences
hpenc generates secure sequences of pseudo-random numbers on a very high
speed (gigabytes per second).
