qpress is a portable file archiver using QuickLZ and designed to utilize fast
storage systems to their max. It's often faster than file copy because the
destination is smaller than the source.
Ruby bindings for Libarchive.
Libarchive is a programming library that can create and read several
different streaming archive formats, including most popular tar
variants, several cpio formats, and both BSD and GNU ar variants.
This is the set of GNU shar utilities. This port installs them
with the letter "g" prepended to their names, to avoid conflict
with the FreeBSD base system. The uudecode and uuencode commands
are omitted (BSD versions are present in the base system). The
shar utilities deal with shar files, so-called shell archives, which
are scripts suitable for transmission by e-mail or Usenet.
When a shar file is executed, the files it contains are unpacked
without the need for any software other than the shell itself and
sed. Because they are scripts, shell archives from strangers should
be read before executing them, to check for harmful commands.
synopses from the info pages:
* gmail-files: Send files to remote site.
* gmailshar: Make and send a shell archive.
* gremsync: Synchronize remote directory trees using e-mail.
* gshar: Make a shell archive.
* gunshar: Explode a shell archive.
mkZiplib is a wrapper for Zlib 1.1.3 and Minizip 0.15.
It is free, very portable and works for virtually any computer hardware
and operating system. With mkZiplib you can compress/decompress data and
work with .gz and .zip files from within Tcl.
This is an extract-only program which allows access to the contents of ARJ
archives. You cannot specify a base directory or select individual files
to extract. UNARJ does not support empty directories or volume labels.
Linux ports of KZIP and ZIPMIX by Ken Silverman.
A PKZIP-compatible compressor focusing on space over speed. KZIP
creates smaller .ZIP files than PKZIP with maximum compression
enabled and even beats 7-Zip most of the time.
Zopfli is a new zlib (gzip, deflate) compatible compressor.
This compressor takes more time (~100x slower), but compresses
around 5% better than zlib and better than any other zlib-compatible
compressor we have found.
Celestia is a free real-time space simulation that lets you experience our
universe in three dimensions. Unlike most planetarium software, Celestia
doesn't confine you to the surface of the Earth. You can travel throughout
the solar system, to any of over 100,000 stars, or even beyond the galaxy.
All travel in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you
explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to
spacecraft only a few meters across. A "point-and-goto" interface makes it
simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit.
Celestia is expandable. It comes with large catalog of stars, galaxies,
planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and spacecraft. If that's not enough,
you can download dozens of easy to install add-ons with more objects.
gkrellmoon is a moon clock plugin for Gkrellm2. This plugin is based
upon the glunarclock and wmMoonClock applications.
The port is based on the original gkrellmoon port for Grellm1 by Patrick Li.
fowsr is an application that reads from wireless weather stations
* WH1080 / WH1081 / WH1090 / WH1091 / WH2080 / WH2081
* Watson W-8681
* Scientific Sales Pro Touch Screen Weather Station
* TOPCOM NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC 265NE
* PCE-FWS 20
* ...
and other similar USB devices from Fine Offset Electronics Co., LTD.
compatible with the EasyWeather application .
The result is a weather history log file that can be uploaded to a central
server for further processing. Example script files for uploads is included.
So far the following formats are supported:
* Weather Underground
* pywws
* XML
fowsr performs a complete read out of the weather station memory using its
USB port, and stores the result in a cache file to speed up later read-outs.
Rain data is then calculated per hour, day, week and month if data for these
periods exist. No further data processing is performed. This makes fowsr
very small and well suited for running in embedded devices at remote
locations.
