This package revolutionizes the maintenance of PEAR packages.
With a few parameters, the entire package.xml is automatically
updated with a listing of all files in a package.
Features include
- manages the new package.xml 2.0 format in PEAR 1.4.0
- can detect PHP and extension dependencies using PHP_CompatInfo
- reads in an existing package.xml file, and only changes the release/changelog
- a plugin system for retrieving files in a directory. Currently four plugins
exist, one for standard recursive directory content listing, one that
reads the CVS/Entries files and generates a file listing based on the contents
of a checked out CVS repository, one that reads Subversion entries files, and
one that queries a Perforce repository.
- incredibly flexible options for assigning install roles to files/directories
- ability to ignore any file based on a * ? wildcard-enabled string(s)
- ability to include only files that match a * ? wildcard-enabled string(s)
- ability to manage dependencies
- can output the package.xml in any directory, and read in the package.xml
file from any directory.
- can specify a different name for the package.xml file
Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup format to
another, and a command-line tool that uses this library. It can read
markdown and (subsets of) HTML, reStructuredText, LaTeX, DocBook,
MediaWiki markup, TWiki markup, Haddock markup, OPML, Emacs Org-Mode,
txt2tags and Textile, and it can write markdown, reStructuredText,
XHTML, HTML 5, LaTeX, ConTeXt, DocBook, OPML, OpenDocument, ODT, Word
docx, RTF, MediaWiki, DokuWiki, Textile, groff man pages, plain text,
Emacs Org-Mode, AsciiDoc, Haddock markup, EPUB (v2 and v3),
FictionBook2, InDesign ICML, and several kinds of HTML/javascript slide
shows (S5, Slidy, Slideous, DZSlides, reveal.js).
Pandoc extends standard markdown syntax with footnotes, embedded LaTeX,
definition lists, tables, and other features. A compatibility mode is
provided for those who need a drop-in replacement for Markdown.pl.
In contrast to existing tools for converting markdown to HTML, which use
regex substitutions, pandoc has a modular design: it consists of a set
of readers, which parse text in a given format and produce a native
representation of the document, and a set of writers, which convert this
native representation into a target format. Thus, adding an input or
output format requires only adding a reader or writer.
Csound is a programming language designed and optimized for sound rendering and
signal processing. The language consists of over 450 opcodes - the operational
codes that the sound designer uses to build "instruments" or patches.
Although there are an increasing number of graphical "front-ends" for the
language, you typically design and modify your patches using a word processor.
Usually, you create two text files - a .orc (orchestra) file containing the
"instruments," and a .sco (score) file containing the "notes."
In Csound, the complexity of your patches is limited by your knowledge,
interest, and need, but never by the language itself. For instance, a 22,050
oscillator additive synthesizer with 1024 stage envelope generators on each is
merely a copy-and-paste operation. The same goes for a 1 million voice
granular texture!
Have you ever dreamed of sounds such as these? Well in Csound you can. And in
Csound these dreams can come true!
UModPlayer or Universal Module Player is a audio module "tool-chain",
providing you functions to work with modules like playing, exporting,
getting information, and more.
* You can play the supported formats and seek to any order in the
song. You have pause, timer, display, and other standard features.
* You can view the pattern notes while playing.
* Playlist support: you can create playlists, delete or move
individual items in a playlist, import a playlist from the current
directory contents, save a playlist and load a saved playlist...
* You can specify any of the ModPlug options: noise reduction,
megabass, surround, reverb sound options specifying the grade and
the delay of most of the options.
* You can export the audio data of a module to any of the supported
formats
* You can read and export to a file the song builtin message, the
song instrument names and the song sample names.
* Each user of your UNIX box can save all the sound options.
* And much more!

Redis is an open source, advanced key-value store. It is often referred
to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes,
lists, sets and sorted sets.
You can run atomic operations on these types, like appending to a string;
incrementing the value in a hash; pushing to a list; computing set
intersection, union and difference; or getting the member with highest
ranking in a sorted set.
In order to achieve its outstanding performance, Redis works with an
in-memory dataset. Depending on your use case, you can persist it either
by dumping the dataset to disk every once in a while, or by appending each
command to a log.
Redis also supports trivial-to-setup master-slave replication, with very
fast non-blocking first synchronization, auto-reconnection on net split
and so forth.

QB stands for Quick Binary. It's a PHP extension designed to enable faster
handling of binary data. It takes a function written in PHP and translate it
for a specialized virtual machine. The use of static type information leads
significantly higher performance than under PHP regular dynamic type system.
A PHP+QB function can run anywhere from five to twenty times faster than
regular PHP code. For even higher level of performance, one can compile PHP+QB
functions to native code (on supported platforms).
QB performs code translation on a per-function basis. It does not affect in
anyway code not specially marked. Interaction between PHP+QB functions and
regular PHP code is basically seamless. A key design objective of QB is to
let developers harness greater processing power than what baseline PHP offers
without the risk involved in adopting a brand new platform.
The Lemon program is an LALR(1) parser generator. It takes a context free
grammar and converts it into a subroutine that will parse a file using that
grammar.
Lemon is similar to much more famous programs Yacc and Bison. But lemon is
not compatible with either of them; there are several important differences:
- Lemon using a different grammar syntax which is less prone to
programming errors
- Lemon generates a parser that is faster than Yacc or Bison parsers
(according to the author)
- The parser generated by Lemon is both re-entrant and thread-safe
- Lemon includes the concept of a non-terminal destructor, which makes
it much easier to write a parser that does not leak memory
The App::Cache module lets an application cache data locally. There are a
few times an application would need to cache data: when it is retrieving
information from the network or when it has to complete a large
calculation.
For example, the Parse::BACKPAN::Packages module downloads a file off the
net and parses it, creating a data structure. Only then can it actually
provide any useful information for the programmer.
Parse::BACKPAN::Packages uses App::Cache to cache both the file download
and data structures, providing much faster use when the data is cached.
This module stores data in the home directory of the user, in a dot
directory. For example, the Parse::BACKPAN::Packages cache is actually
stored underneath "~/.parse_backpan_packages/cache/". This is so that
permissions are not a problem - it is a per-user, per-application cache.
