WikipediaFS is a mountable Linux virtual file system that allows to
read and edit articles from Wikipedia (or any Mediawiki-based site) as
if they were real files.
It is thus possible to view and edit articles using your favourite
text-editor. Text-editors tend to be more convenient than a simple
browser form when it comes to editing large texts and they generally
include useful features such as Mediawiki syntax highlighting and spell
checking.
Genetic Algorithm File Fitter, or just GAFFitter, is a command-line software
written in C++ that arranges -- via a genetic algorithm -- an input list of
items or files/directories into volumes of a certain capacity (target), such
as CD or DVD, in a way that the total wastage is minimized.
By smartly arranging the input list, GAFFitter fits better the given items
and so optimizes (reduces) the number of required volumes to pack them.
GUI application used to monitor UPS devices controlled by the APCUPSD package.
The program uses the NIS interface from apcupsd to collect event and status
information for display to the end-user. Because of this great interface,
this program can be executed on any OS supported machine and use the network
socket interface to connect back to apcupsd.
GdMap is a tool to inspect the used space of folders. Files are
displayed in a cushioned tree map. Useful if you wonder where all your
free space went to.
Fusepak is a small program that makes it possible to mount PACK or WAD files
(used in many games, most notably by id Software) under a directory. This
is achieved by using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace). The following formats
are supported:
- WAD, can be found in Wolfenstein 3D and Spear of Destiny games
- PACK, can be found in Quake, Quake2, and other games based on
id Software's Quake engine
- WAD2, can be found inside of PACK files
- LGP, can be found in PC version of Final Fantasy VII
- PAK, can be found in Dune 2
- KSGRP, can be found in Duke Nukem 3D
Secondary goal of fusepak is to provide simple framework which allows one to
quickly add support for another file format.
httpfs depends on FUSE. It uses HTTP/1.1 extensions to read arbitrary
bytes from a file on a web-server. This is particular interesting for
an iso, since it can be investigated (loop device) without actually
downloading the whole iso.
Pkgview is an application that displays the versions of all installed GNOME 2
components, then tries to guess the overall GNOME 2 version. This tool
can be very useful when trying to report bugs in GNOME's Bugzilla
database.
GSmartControl is a graphical user interface for smartctl (from
sysutils/smartmontools port), which is a tool for querying and
controlling SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting
Technology) data on modern hard disk drives. It allows you to
inspect the drive's SMART data to determine its health, as well
as run various tests on it.
HOZ is what you would call a "file splitter". Its file format is the same as
the one used by the "Hacha" software, a well known splitter in Spain and
Latinamerica. HOZ is an open-source and portable C implementation of an
"Hacha" compatible splitter.
Attempts to recover a hard disk that has bad blocks on it.
WARNING: A hard disk with bad blocks on is likely to fail! If you value
your data you should get a new hard disk instead of using this program!
However, if you can't afford a new hard disk, or just like being reckless
with your data then this tool might just help you out!
