This is a port of hourglass, a synthetic real-time application that
can be used to learn how CPU scheduling in a general-purpose operating
system works at microsecond and millisecond granularities.
- It creates very detailed map of when each Hourglass thread has
access to the CPU
- It supports multiple thread execution models; e.g. periodic and
CPU-bound
- It acts as an abstraction layer for threading, timing, and CPU
scheduling functionality on Unix- and Win32-based systems
WindowLab is a small and simple window manager, based on aewm, of
novel design. WindowLab maintains the illusion of direct manipulation
by constraining the mouse pointer when appropriate, i.e. when a window
cannot be dragged any further in one direction.
It's click-to-focus, shares its window depth policy with the Amiga,
and has a window resizing/reshaping method similar to that of 8 1/2
from Plan 9.
xcalib is a program that allows you to use ICC profiles (to load its
'vcgt'-tag) for X11 servers display calibration with XVidModeExtension
supported (like X.org or XFree86 4.x.x). It can't create the profiles
so you need to acquire them elsewhere (e.g. from some commercial
program or from your display vendor).
xcalib is a postcardware. So if you like this program, send a picture
postcard from your country/area to:

KDE Base Applications consists of what runs on the desktop. This
module isn't a complete collection of essential applications that a
user would expect on a desktop (such as e-mail and calculator). This
package is the basic set of applications beyond the workspace that KDE
applications can assume are installed. These applications should have
no problem running on Windows, OS X, Gnome, etc. as stand alone
applications if the user wanted to use them there.
CNPRINT is a utility to print Chinese/Japanese/Korean (CJK) text
(or convert to PostScript) under DOS, VMS and UNIX systems. It
works just as a print command on your system. Currently GB, Hz,
zW, BIG5, CNS, JIS, EUC, Shift-JIS, KSC, UTF8, UTF7 and UTF16
formats are supported.
CNPRINT also has many other features, among them:
* print all CJK codes using a single Unicode CJK font
* print GB using Big5 fonts or print Big5 using GB fonts
* multiple columns, vertical printing, change font or character
size within document
* phrase-based GB<->BIG5 conversions
* built-in HZ<->GB conversion
* repair/re-format functions for CJK text
* envelope and address label printing
* decode MIME quoted printable (=20=3C=5E like text)
* true type fonts (TTF) support
With its full Unicode support, it should be able to print other
language (e.g. Thai, Vietnames, Arabic as well). For more information,
please read the help file.
Serviio is a free DLNA media server. It allows you to stream your
media files (music, video or images) to any DLNA-certified renderer
device (e.g. a TV set, Bluray player, games console) on your home
network.
Serviio uses a priority-based metadata extraction so that you can
choose what metadata should describe your media files (e.g. audio
track name, DVD cover, TV series and episodes names, etc.). These
include metadata embedded into the media files themselves, locally
stored metadata files and metadata that can be obtained online.
With this powerful tool you will be able to build your Serviio media
library easily and effectively.
Serviio works with any DLNA compliant device (TV, Playstation 3,
etc.) and some other (XBox 360). It supports profiles for particular
devices so that it can be tuned to maximise the device's potential
and/or minimize lack of media format playback support (via transcoding).
This module provides a simple but complete cron like scheduler. I.e
this modules can be used for periodically executing Perl subroutines.
The dates and parameters for the subroutines to be called are
specified with a format known as crontab entry (see manpage crontab(5)
or documentation of Schedule::Cron).
The philosophy behind Schedule::Cron is to call subroutines
periodically from within one single Perl program instead of letting
cron trigger several (possibly different) Perl scripts. Everything
under one roof. Furthermore Schedule::Cron provides mechanism to
create crontab entries dynamically, which isn't that easy with cron.
Schedule::Cron knows about all extensions (well, at least all
extensions I'm aware of, i.e those of the so called "Vixie" cron) for
crontab entries like ranges including 'steps', specification of month
and days of the week by name or coexistence of lists and ranges in the
same field. And even a bit more (like lists and ranges with symbolic
names).
Based on the popular Quake3 modification, "True Combat", TC:E provides
a realistic combat simulator set against the backdrop of modern urban
warfare. The player can expect thrilling shootouts, an emphasis on
tactical team play, engaging close quarter fighting and some of the
best weapons of modern warfare. Being accessible to both veteran
players and those new to the world of tactical simulators is only one
of TC:E's many strengths. Map authors can customize weapon load outs,
skins, objectives and even the voice chats for each of their maps.
Key features:
* A full game completely free for download
* Mission-based online multiplayer game
* Soft player class system (assault, recon, sniper)
* Rounds with skill-based "Armament Availability System"
* Voice Communication System designed in collaboration with real
SWAT Members
* Iron sight aiming system with ACOG and reflex sights
* Still in development: mission system - future versions will
integrate various objectives into the game
The procmail mail processing program can be used to create mail-servers,
mailing lists, sort your incoming mail into separate folders/files (real
convenient when subscribing to one or more mailing lists or for prioritising
your mail), preprocess your mail, start any programs upon mail arrival
(e.g. to generate different chimes on your workstation for different
types of mail) or selectively forward certain incoming mail automatically
to someone.
Procmail can be used:
- and installed by an unprivileged user (for himself only).
- as a drop in replacement for the local delivery agent /bin/mail
(with biff/comsat support).
- as a general mailfilter for whole groups of messages (e.g. when
called from within sendmail.cf rules).
The accompanying formail program enables you to generate autoreplies,
split up digests/mailboxes into the original messages, do some very
simple header-munging/extraction, or force mail into mail-format (with
leading From line).
This is GNU Stow, a program for managing the installation of software
packages, keeping them separate (/usr/local/stow/emacs
vs. /usr/local/stow/perl, for example) while making them appear to be
installed in the same place (/usr/local).
Stow was inspired by Carnegie Mellon's "Depot" program, but is
substantially simpler. Whereas Depot requires database files to keep
things in sync, Stow stores no extra state between runs, so there's
no danger (as there is in Depot) of mangling directories when file
hierarchies don't match the database. Also unlike Depot, Stow will
never delete any files, directories, or links that appear in a Stow
directory (e.g., /usr/local/stow/emacs), so it's always possible to
rebuild the target tree (e.g., /usr/local).
