Free 2.2.0 software for linux

GEOS is a complete C++ implementation of the functions and predicates defined in the OpenGIS "Simple Features for SQL" specification.
GEOS library includes high quality implementations of all the important spatial relationships and operations, robust versions of all functions in the dimensionally extended 9 intersection predicate model, implementations of the operators, Buffer(), Union(), and Intersection(), and all other SFSQL functions including Area(), Length(), Centroid(), etc.
IMPORTANT: GEOS 2.0.0 is not compatible with PostGIS 0.8 or lower. Do not upgrade to GEOS 2.0.0 unless you also upgrade your version of PostGIS at the same time to PostGIS 0.9 or greater.
Enhancements:
- Performance was improved in OverlayOp::insertUniqueEdge(), which improves intersection, union, and buffer.
- Memory management and allocation/deallocation were improved.
- Higher dimension support was implemented for some operations.
- WKB input/output was added.
- A new stable C API was added.

Wipe is a file and block device wiping utility. It is based on work by Peter Gutmann.
There are some low level issues that must be taken into consideration. One of these is that there must be some sort of write barrier between passes. Wipe uses fdatasync(2)
(or fsync(2)) as a write barrier, or if fsync(2) isnt available, the file is opened with the O_DSYNC or O_SYNC flag.
For wipe to be effective, each pass must be completely written. To ensure this, the drive must support some form of a write barrier, write cache flush, or write cache disabling. SCSI supports ordered command tags, has a force
media access bit for commands, and write cache can be disable on mode page 8. IDE/ATA drives support write cache flushes and write cache disabling.
Unfortunetly, not all drives actually disable write cache when yjhis is set up.Those drives are broken. Write caching should always be disabled, unless your system is battery backed and always powers down cleanly.
Enhancements:
- typo in Makefile.in (Ricardo Branco)

abcde is a frontend to cdparanoia, wget, cd-discid, id3, and your favorite Ogg Vorbis (the default), MP3, FLAC, Ogg Speex, or MPP (Musepack) encoder.
It grabs an entire CD and converts each track to the desired format, then comments or ID3-tags each file, all with one command.
It supports multiple output in a single CD read, the creation of a single track from a CD, resume operation, CD concatenation, volume normalization, gapless encoding (with LAME), parallelization, SMP, proxies, customizable filename organization and munging, playlist generation, distributed encoding via distmp3, and more.
Enhancements:
- Added support for MPP/MP+(Musepack) encoding. Although I am trying to
get 2.2 for Debian Sarge release, mpc seems safe enough to introduce. See
corecodec.org for code.
- Some POSIX shell corrections (making the code more portable). Thanks to
Guillem Jover for pointing the problem out.
- CDYEAR is also passed to do_move(), so one can use it for sorting the
directories.
- Small MacOS X fix, allowing directories with "()" to work. Thanks to Evan
Jones.
- On the MacOS X, I still do not know if abcde works correctly. If does
not, please, drop a note. Or else.
- DOSPLAYLIST also changes "/" with "".
- DATA tracks are now excluded from the ripping process using internally
the cdparanoia "-Q" query option. If using another ripper, it does not
work (at least there is no support for them in abcde)
(Closes: #112692, #117412).
- New "0" choice for "None of the above" has been introduced. If selected, a
template is created and the user encouraged to edit it (Closes: #147683).
- New options for when the PLAYLIST already exists: erase, append or keep.
- Bug fixes along the code:
- abcde.1 corrections and additions
- abcde corrections and code reorganization. abcde now exits earlier if
some of the options are incompatible. Also the actions are set as
variables earlier, so we use less calls to external tools.
- abcde.conf additions
- The GENRE is munged now in its own mungegenre function, so that no more
upper-to-lowercase is done (forced) except if the default is used.
- Examples added to the tarball and /usr/share/doc/abcde/examples with two
scripts to make abcde kind-of-a ripper daemon.
- Changed to experimental to have an stable 2.1.x version in Sarge.
- Add CDDB information to Ogg/Vorbis and FLAC files (Closes: #265358).
- Added INTERACTIVE option. Set it to "n" and there you go, without user
interaction.
- Changes normalize to normalize-audio (Closes: #267053)
- Copes with wav files being erased by the ripping tool.
- Small patch to support ()s in the path under MacOSX. Thanks to Evan Jones
for noticing and sending the patch.
- Added -w for COMMENT seed. Used to give a comment to a given CD.
- Option "-t " added to modify the numbering from a starting point
(Closes: #95828). Geez! That is low bug number...
- Added -T to modify also the tag entries on the songs. Currently available
for FLAC and Ogg/Vorbis.
- Removes trailing spaces (Closes: #280382).
- TRACKNAME now combines multi-lines from long CDDB entries.
- debian/rules:
- s/dh_installmanpages/dh_installman/

erec is a tool program for recording raw audio stream from the soundcard.Multiple instances of erec can be running at the same time sharing the same audio device. It works as a frontend to the sound card for programs wishing to listen at the same time.

Note: For best quality, it might be wise to always record 44.1 kHz 16-bit stereo (-6r44100) and resample the result with an external program like resample to produce the wanted sample rate.

erec has been written by Joel Yliluoma, a.k.a. Bisqwit, and is distributed under the terms of the General Public License (GPL).

erec uses tcp connections between the server (first launched erec by server) and client (all listeners). The ports are calculated from the device filename by a magic formula, which results in these ports for these examples: /dev/dsp: 6130, /dev/dsp1: 6179

Embperl is a framework for building websites with Perl.

For the beginner its an easy to setup and use way of embedding Perl code in HTML pages. Embperl delivers several features that ease the task of creating a websites, including dynamic tables, formfield-processing, session handling, escaping/unescaping, caching and more.

If your demands grow it gives you the power to make your Website object-oriented and build it out of small reusable components. If you dont like the idea of mixing up all your layout and code then Embperl also supports separating it in different objects (e.g. creating an MVC application).

Of course Embperl doesnt tie you to HTML - it allows components to be from different source formats (e.g. HTML, WML, XML, POD, ...) and if necessary transforms them (for example via XSLT) to other output formats. This is achieved by dividing the output generation into small steps, where each is processed by a plugable provider. Advanced users can create their own syntax definitions (for example tag libraries) and extend Embperl by writing their own providers and much more...

Embperl is a server-side tool, which means that its browser-independent. It can run in various ways: under mod_perl, as a CGI script, or offline.

freeglut is a completely OpenSourced alternative to the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) library. GLUT was originally written by Mark Kilgard to support the sample programs in the second edition OpenGL RedBook.

Since then, GLUT has been used in a wide variety of practical applications because it is simple, widely available and highly portable.

GLUT (and hence freeglut) allows the user to create and manage windows containing OpenGL contexts on a wide range of platforms and also read the mouse, keyboard and joystick functions.

freeglut is released under the X-Consortium license.

The original GLUT library seems to have been abandoned with the most recent version (3.7) dating back to August 1998. Its license does not allow anyone to distribute modified library code.

This would be OK, if not for the fact that GLUT is getting old and really needs improvement. Also, GLUTs license is incompatible with some software distributions (e.g., XFree86).

XMLBeans project is a technology for accessing XML by binding it to Java types. XMLBeans provides several ways to get at the XML, including:
- Through XML schema that has been compiled to generate Java types that represent schema types. In this way, you can access instances of the schema through JavaBeans-style accessors after the fashion of "getFoo" and "setFoo".
- The XMLBeans API also allows you to reflect into the XML schema itself through an XML Schema Object model.
- A cursor model through which you can traverse the full XML infoset.
- Support for XML DOM.
Start off with your own stuff:
If you want to get right to it with your own XML schema and instance, follow these basic steps:
Install XMLBeans.
Compile your schema. Use scomp to compile the schema, generating and jarring Java types. For example, to create a employeeschema.jar from an employeesschema.xsd file:
scomp -out employeeschema.jar employeeschema.xsd
Write code. With the generated JAR on your classpath, write code to bind an XML instance to the Java types representing your schema. Heres an example that would use types generated from an employees schema:
File xmlFile = new File("c:employees.xml");
// Bind the instance to the generated XMLBeans types.
EmployeesDocument empDoc =
EmployeesDocument.Factory.parse(xmlFile);
// Get and print pieces of the XML instance.
Employees emps = empDoc.getEmployees();
Employee[] empArray = emps.getEmployeeArray();
for (int i = 0; i < empArray.length; i++)
{
System.out.println(empArray[i]);
}
Enhancements:
- Updated to the latest XMLSchema.xsd - January 25, 2006
- Updated XmlBeans to work with SaxonB-8.6.1 in place of SaxonB8.1
- XQuery external variable binding support

chaosircd project is an IRC daemon with commands, channel modes, user modes, and flood control implemented as runtime (re)loadable modules.

DNS, AUTH (ident) queries, and proxy scans are done in a single child process to avoid wasting valuable file descriptors and responsiveness.

It features a server-server protocol using timestamps for netsplit handling similar to TS5 (hybrid), and OpenSSL encrypted server-server and client-server connections.
