[ excerpt from developer's web site ]
The minder is a small network application for automatic maintenance
of peer lists. The application accepts connections from other network
entities ("minions") and returns a list of other identitical minions.
When a minion contacts the minder, the minion supplies its type,
network port and address, and its unique node identification.
The framework for building a minion is included in the C++ Sockets
Library. The framework consists of classes representing connections
between minion-minder and minion-minion, and also a controller class
for them both.
The minder itself is also built with the C++ Sockets Library as its
foundation.
RXP is a very fast validating XML parser written by Richard Tobin
of the University of Edinburgh. It complies fully with the W3C test
suites (although we have compiled it without Unicode support for
the time being). pyRXP is a wrapper around this which constructs a
lightweight in-memory "tuple tree" in a single call. This structure
is the lightest one we could define in Python, and it is constructed
entirely in C code, resulting in unprecedented speed. It is a core
part of ReportLab's forthcoming XML toolkit, which aims to offer
simple, fast and pythonic tools for common XML processing tasks.
mail_room is a configuration based process that will idle on IMAP connections
and execute a delivery method when a new message is received.
Examples of delivery methods include:
POST to a delivery URL (Postback)
Queue a job to Sidekiq or Que for later processing (Sidekiq or Que)
Log the message or open with LetterOpener (Logger or LetterOpener)
Parse::Syslog presents a simple interface to parse syslog
files: you create a parser on a file (with new) and call
next to get one line at a time with Unix-timestamp, host,
program, pid and text returned in a hash-reference.
What Is omi?
============
It is a software to "mirror" subtrees of FTP servers. It
can be used to make a one-time mirror, and it can be used
to update a mirror regularly (for example using cron).
Pdmenu is a menuing system for Unix. It is designed to be easy to
use, and is suitable for a login shell for inexperienced users, or
it can just be ran at the command line as a handy menu.
Small client to ask a clamav antivirus server
if a file containt a virus. May be used with
procmail or maildrop rules. Clamav library
is not required to be installed on the running
host.
This module can be used, along with a CSS::Parse::* module, to parse CSS
data and represent it as a tree of objects. Using a CSS::Adaptor::* module,
the CSS data tree can then be transformed into other formats.
lavtools: Linux Audio and Video TOOLS for Motion JPEG and MPEG
==============================================================
Programs for MJPEG recording and playback and simple cut-and-paste
editting and MPEG compression of audio and video under Linux (Now
FreeBSD).
N.b. Only the "lav" programs have been written whooly from scratch.
The rest are from diverse open source originals, modified to work
with the lav tools edit lists and AVI and quicktime files. Some
(especially the MPEG tools) have had also more major perfomance and
functionality enhancements.
"WCSLIB is a C library, supplied with a full set of Fortran wrappers, that
implements the "World Coordinate System" (WCS) convention in FITS (Flexible
Image Transport System). It also includes a PGPLOT-based routine, PGSBOX,
for drawing general curvilinear coordinate graticules and a number of
utility programs." - from README file.
