The Free Software Foundation's core utilities:
basename, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown, chroot, cksum, comm, cp, csplit,
cut, date, dd, df, dir, dircolors, dirname, du, echo, env, expand, expr,
factor, false, fmt, fold, groups, head, hostid, hostname, id, install,
join, kill, link, ln, logname, ls, md5sum, mkdir, mkfifo, mknod, mv, nice,
nl, nohup, od, paste, pathchk, pinky, pr, printenv, printf, ptx, pwd,
readlink, rm, rmdir, seq, sha1sum, shred, sleep, sort, split, stat, stty,
su, sum, sync, tac, tail, tee, test, touch, tr, true, tsort, tty, uname,
unexpand, uniq, unlink, uptime, users, vdir, wc, who, whoami, yes
Similar utilities to most of these exist in the FreeBSD base system,
but many of the GNU versions have added functionality that is
useful.
Note that this port will install these utilities with a `g' prefix,
for example gdate, gexpr, and gtest, but the texinfo documentation
will refer to them without the `g' prefix.
GNU su does not support a wheel group. This port installs it
without the suid bit, unless you define WITH_SUID while building.
XMX is an X protocol multiplexor. It is a standalone utility for displaying
an X Windows session on multiple displays. XMX takes advantage of the
networked nature of the X Window System by tapping the communication link
between an X client and an X server. In this way, XMX works with any
X clients and any X servers, without the need to modify either.
It's tempting to call this "broadcast software," and that is certainly the
effect. In reality, though, XMX is "multicast" software. It must know
all the slave machines ahead of time and it connects to each one directly.
XMX is more like mail than news.
XMX connects to N servers like an X client, then accepts connections from
M clients like an X server. One of those servers is designated the "master"
from which input is directed to the clients. The other servers are "slaves."
Slave servers receive only those protocol requests that are necessary for
them to maintain a visual look-alike of the master server's display.
This software was developed at Brown University for use in our electronic
classroom. Some version of it has been in use here since 1988.

This is a text to speech system produced by integrating various pieces
of code and tables of data, which are all (I believe) in the public domain.
The Oxford Text Archive has for several years maintained copies of several
machine-readable dictionaries along with its extensive (if
unsystematic) collections of other machine-readable texts. This document
gives some further details of the various dictionaries available, and
summarises the conditions under which copies of them are currently
distributed.
The Oxford Text Archive Shortlist (available on request via electronic
mail and by FTP) gives up to date brief details of all texts held in
the Archive. Send electronic mail to ARCHIVE@VAX.OXFORD.AC.UK. For
anonymous FTP, look in the directory ota on ota.ox.ac.uk.
This library package provides several forward error correction (FEC) decoders
and accelerated primitives useful in digital signal processing (DSP).
Except for the Reed-Solomon codecs, these functions take full advantage of
the MMX, SSE and SSE2 SIMD instruction sets on Intel/AMD IA-32 processors
and the Altivec/VMX/Velocity Engine SIMD instruction set on the
G4 and G5 PowerPC.
The library includes Viterbi decoders for the following convolutional codes:
rate 1/2 k=7
rate 1/2 k=9
rate 1/6 k=15 ("Cassini")
plus two Reed-Solomon encoder-decoders:
one optimized for the (255,223) CCSDS standard code
a general purpose encoder/decoder for arbitrary RS codes
and three low-level 16-bit DSP support routines:
signed dot product
peak detection
sum-of-squares (energy) computation
This library is licensed under the "lesser" GNU General Public License.

This is XPostIt Version 3.3.1 for X11 Releases 4 and 5. XPostIt allows
you to create small notes to yourself in windows on the screen, and save
them in disk files. This is generally neater than having numerous real
Post-it notes stuck all around the edges of your monitor.

Matreshka is an Ada framework to develop information systems. It consists
of five major components: League, XML processor, Web framework, SQL access,
and the Modeling framework.
League:
High level abstraction of localization and internationalization. Also
provides calendrical calculations, regular expressions, and JSON.
XML processor:
Sax reader and writer, supports XML 1.0 and 1.1 as well as namespaces.
It also has an XML catalogs resolver.
Web framework:
Supports FastCGI, SOAP 1.2 and has a WSDL to Ada translator.
SQL access:
Database abstraction of MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite and Firebird.
Modeling framework:
provides implementation of Meta Object Facility (MOF) written entirely
in Ada. Extension modules assist in the analysis of UML modules and
extensions (MOF, OCL, and UML testing profile) and diagram definition.
Data::ObjectDriver is an object relational mapper, meaning that it
maps object-oriented design concepts onto a relational database.
It's inspired by, and descended from, the MT::ObjectDriver classes in
Six Apart's Movable Type and TypePad weblogging products. But it adds
in caching and partitioning layers, allowing you to spread data across
multiple physical databases, without your application code needing to
know where the data is stored.
It's currently considered ALPHA code. The API is largely fixed, but
may seen some small changes in the future. For what it's worth, the
likeliest area for changes are in the syntax for the search method,
and would most likely not break much in the way of backwards
compatibility.
The Inline module allows you to put source code from other programming
languages directly "inline" in a Perl script or module. The code is
automatically compiled as needed, and then loaded for immediate access
from Perl.
Inline saves you from the hassle of having to write and compile your own
glue code using facilities like XS or SWIG. Simply type the code where
you want it and run your Perl as normal. All the hairy details are
handled for you. The compilation and installation of your code chunks
all happen transparently; all you will notice is the delay of
compilation on the first run.
The Inline code only gets compiled the first time you run it (or
whenever it is modified) so you only take the performance hit once. Code
that is Inlined into distributed modules (like on the CPAN) will get
compiled when the module is installed, so the end user will never notice
the compilation time.
Roles are composable units of behavior. They are useful for factoring
out functionality common to many classes from any part of your class
hierarchy. See Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe1 for an introduction to
Moose::Role.
While combining roles affords you a great deal of flexibility,
individual roles have very little in the way of configurability. Core
Moose provides alias for renaming methods and excludes for ignoring
methods. These options are primarily (perhaps solely) for
disambiguating role conflicts. See Moose::Cookbook::Roles::Recipe2 for
more about alias and excludes.
Because roles serve many different masters, they usually provide only
the least common denominator of functionality. To empower roles
further, more configurability than alias and excludes is required.
Perhaps your role needs to know which method to call when it is done.
Or what default value to use for its url attribute.
Parameterized roles offer exactly this solution.
