Rtty is "remote tty" (not radioteletype). You run a server per port
and then connect to that server from any number of "tip"/"cu"-like
clients. I wrote it for our console concentrator, but there's no
reason other than performance why you couldn't use it to drive modems,
printers, prom programmers, and so on.
zdaemon is a Python package which provides APIs for managing
applications run as daemons. Its principal use to date has
been to manage the application server and storage server daemons
for Zope / ZEO, although it is not limited to running Python-based
applications (for instance, it has been used to manage the
'spread' daemon).
nucleus font collection for X.
You'll have to add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/nucleus
to your X font path by either:
$ xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/nucleus
$ xset fp rehash
or by adding it to your X-server configuration file (usually
/etc/X11/XF86Config) and restarting the X-server.
EMMS is the Emacs Multi-Media System. It tries to be a clean and small
application to play multimedia files from Emacs using external
players. Many of it's ideas are derived from MpthreePlayer
(http://www.nongnu.org/mp3player), but it tries to be more general and
more clean.
Recombine fits a model which has a single population of constant size with a
single recombination rate across all sites. It can accomodate either plain
DNA or RNA data or SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) data.
Recombine forms part of the Lamarc (Likelihood Analysis with Metropolis
Algorithm using Random Coalescence) suite. See:
http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/lamarc.html
Shftool is the reference implementation for the new,
XML-based Standard Hex Format (SHF).
Shftool is also a working converter/generator/extractor
between/to/of SHF-files and other hex formats.
SHF is specified in the following Internet Draft:
http://ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-strombergson-shf-06.txt
p5::JSON::RPC-Common is a perl module provides abstractions for
JSON-RPC 1.0, 1.1 (both variations) and 2.0 (formerly 1.2)
Procedure Call and Procedure Return objects (formerly known as
request and result), along with error objects. It also provides
marshalling objects to convert the model objects into JSON text
and HTTP requests/responses.
This module make use of Algorithm::Accounting and SVN::Log to do
simple accounting of any subversion repository (not necessarily
local, as long as you can do "svn log" to). The installed
svn-accounting.pl script demonstrate a simple use to this module,
you may try:
svn-accounting.pl http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/
Log::Dispatch::Dir provides a simple object for logging to directories under the
Log::Dispatch::* system, and automatically rotating them according to different
constraints. Each message will be logged to a separate file the directory.
Logging to separate files can be useful for example when dumping whole network
responses (like HTTP::Response content).
virtualenvwrapper is a set of extensions to Ian Bicking's `virtualenv
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv>`_ tool. The extensions include
wrappers for creating and deleting virtual environments and otherwise
managing your development workflow, making it easier to work on more
than one project at a time without introducing conflicts in their
dependencies.
