Free blackadder 1.1 software for linux

CTShaper is a shell-script that helps setting up a traffic shaper, using Linuxs built-in network QoS (Quality of Service) infrastructure.

Have you ever noticed how your SSH/gaming sessions become sluggish when you start downloading something, or how your downloads slow down when you start uploading?

Have you ever been annoyed by other peoples downloads forcing you to wait ages while an email is being sent? Or making your web navigation painfully slow?

Well, if your outgoing link is managed by a Linux router/gateway, then you could benefit from using CTShaper.

CTShaper reduces link latency by preventing packet queues from getting too long on your side (your ADSL or Cable modem) and on your ISPs side (their routers). Long packet queues is what makes your uploads interfere with your downloads, and your downloads interfere with your SSH or gaming sessions.

Additionally, CTShaper sets up four traffic queues with different priorities and configurable flow rates (to have minimum bandwidth guarantees for each class). By default, only traffic with ToS (Type of Service) information gets prioritized (which could be enough, if lots of software had support for it, which they dont), but you can use your firewall (iptables, or an iptables frontend like FireHOL) to "mark" traffic.

The traffic shaper will then prioritize (outgoing) traffic based on those "marks". You can, for instance, give priority to SMTP and HTTP traffic. This will only affect outgoing HTTP and SMTP traffic, but thats enough to make your emails go out faster, and your web navigation more responsive.

vcs-load-dirs is a tool to automate and simplify the loading of software into version control systems. The project is designed primarily for importing from a non-version-controlled upstream, such as processing release tarballs.
While a bit of scripting can help some version control systems achieve a basic version of this, vcs-load-dirs often does better than that, especially concerning renames.
vcs-load-dirs is a Free Software project licensed under the GNU General Public License. You can download it for free, and you can modify it. In fact, you are encouraged to contribute to vcs-load-dirs, and doing so is fast and easy.
vcs-load-dirs is written in pure Python and has been known to work on various versions of Linux and BSD. It was written primarily in response to Subversions svn_load_dirs, which was tied to Subversions internals and not portable to other VCSs.
Main features:
- When a given import directory represents only adds or only deletes from the tree in version control, vcs-load-dirs automatically issues the needed add/delete commands to tell the VCS what happened.
- When an import directory represents both adds or deletes, vcs-load-dirs realizes that, rather than a bunch of discrete adds and deletes, there may be files that were renamed. It enters an interactive mode, showing deleted and added files, and lets you match them up if you believe any were renamed. You can optionally skip this step if you dont want your VCS to track the renames. vcs-load-dirs will inform your VCS about renames, adds, and deletes.
Enhancements:
- Support for Mercurial was added.
- Minor fixes were made.
- A new Web site was made.

kannasaver is a screensaver for people who want to learn japanese. The idea is that by randomly shoving hiragana or katakana at you, together with the romaji transcript, they start to stick to your memory after a while.
Inspired by a windows screensaver that does exactly the same, which sits an www.thejapanesepage.com for free.
Dependencies: Other than KDE 3.3, you need to have soft-scalable (truetype) fonts that contain the japanese characters. Google for the mikachan font set if anything else fails.
Enhancements:
- a few composite katakana were wrong; corrected.

ln_local is a simple shell script for managing the installation of software packages (typically in /usr/local). Its a program between stow and lndir/cleanlinks.

The approach used by ln_local (based on Stow) is to install each package into its own tree, then use symbolic links to make it appear as though the files are installed in the common tree (see examples for more details).

Contrary to stow, ln_local create all subdirectory tree and then create all symbolic links (stow create simbolic links for subdirectories and normals files, so conflicts may appends when two programs share the same subdirectory).

Usage

Usage: ln_local [options] [do] Action

Action : create | delete | clean
create : create symlink and directory in /usr/local from current directory
delete : delete symlink and empty directory in /usr/local from current directory
clean : remove broken symlink and empty directory in /usr/local

If do is presents in the command line then changes are made,
else NO CHANGE ARE MADE

Options are :
-s, --source the source directory (default:current directory)
-t, --target the target directory (/usr/local)
-V, --version display version and exit
-u, --usage long help
-h, --help display this help

Example

Standard way to use ln_local:

* download source package (.tar.gz, tar.bz2 ...)

* extract the archive:
tar -xzvf archive-x.x.x.tar.gz
or tar -xjvf archive-x.x.x.tar.bz2

* go to archive directory:
cd archive-x.x.x

* configure the program compilation:
./configure --prefix="/usr/install/archive-x.x.x"

* build the program:
make

* install the program:
make install
or make install DESTDIR=/usr/install/archive-x.x.x if theres no ./configure in this last case, you may have to edit manually the Makefile.

* create symlinks in /usr/local:
cd /usr/install/archive-x.x.x
ln_local create do

* delete the source and archive
cd in the archive-x.x.x.tar.gz directory
rm -rf archive-x.x.x*

you can change the target directory (/usr/local) by editing the file /usr/local/bin/ln_local or use the --target option

To remove an existing program:
cd /usr/install/archive-x.x.x
ln_local delete do

To clean the /usr/local directory:
ln_local clean do

To remove definitively a program:
rm -rf /usr/install/archive-x.x.x
ln_local clean do

If you want to see what ln_local will do, remove the do in create, delete and clean action, so no action will be done

BALL is Rapid Software Prototyping can significantly reduce development times in the field of Computational Molecular Biology and Molecular Modeling. BALL (Biochemical Algorithms Library) is an application framework in C++ that has been specifically designed for this purpose.
BALL has been carefully designed to be robust, easy to use, and open to extensions. Especially its extensibility which results from an object-oriented and generic programming approach distinguishes it from other software packages.
BALL is well suited to serve as a public repository for reliable data structures and algorithms. Based on BALL we have developed a stand-alone tool for molecular visualization, BALLView . BALLView makes the broad functionality available through an integrated user-friendly GUI.
BALL is distributed under the Lesser GNU Public License (LGPL), parts of it are under the GNU Public License (GPL).
Enhancements:
- This version finally brings full support for Python, DLLs, and nmake Makefiles under Windows.
- A large number of prominent fixes were made, especialy for g++ 4.x.
- Some new functionality was added to BALLView.

libviper is an API for quickly developing console, curses-based interfaces with mouse support (GPM). Its a good alternative to the panels library.

The API preserves many of the familiar ncurses monikers. The project also provides, basic, GTK-like window signal handling.

xbmsd project is a file sharing server implementing the Xbox Media Streaming Protocol (XBMSP) supported by the Xbox Media Center (XBMC). URLs in XboxMediaCenter.xml that start with "xbms://" use this protocol. xbmsd also supports the XBMSP Server Discovery Protocol (XBSDP).
The main features of xbmsd besides normal file sharing is mapping files to arbitrary local files or HTTP files/streams, the possibility of generating "synthetic" mplayer configuration files according to file extension and the possibility of specifying file processing filters by file extension. Mapping files to HTTP locations is useful because XBMC does not support HTTP locations natively.
Synthetic configuration files mean that files ending in a specified extension will all have a file-specific mplayer configuration file visible through xbmsd. If one does not already exist (real or mapped), it is mapped to the file specified in the specification command. Filters work so that if a file has the specified extension the filename is given as an argument to the specified command and the command output is sent to the XBMSP client as a stream.
Usage Example
Lets assume that we have a HTTP server running on localhost port 3000 that provides access to DVB TV channels via files /ts/channel. These are interlaced MPEG transport streams (TS), so we want to map these to local files and then create synthetic deinterlacing configuration files for them.
First we create a mplayer configuration file (/etc/xbmsd/deinterlace.conf) that turns on linear blend deinterlacing and sets the cache to a lower value so that the buffering does not take so long. The contents of the file is:
vf-pre=pp=lb
cache=2048
Then we create the xbmsd configuration file that maps the DVB streams to local files and configures the above file as a synthetic configuration file for files ending in ".ts". We use an empty root directory since we dont want to do anything else at this time:
root /var/empty
map ch1.ts http://localhost:3000/ts/1
map ch2.ts http://localhost:3000/ts/2
map ch3.ts http://localhost:3000/ts/3
conf ts /etc/xbmsd/deinterlace.conf
When xbmsd is started with this configuration the root directory of the server contains six files: ch1.ts, ch1.ts.conf, ch2.ts, ch2.ts.conf, ch3.ts, ch3.ts.conf.
Enhancements:
- Added IFACE configuration option (Linux only)
- Bugfix: the server discovery socket now listens to INADDR_ANY (or in6addr_any) and not the address specified by LISTEN, as it needs to receive all broadcasts.
