Free experimental data software for linux

Experimental Robotics Framework aim is to develop and implement algorithms focused on the perception of the world for mobile robots, in order for them to navigate and execute tasks in an efficient way.

Installing erf

There are two ways to install the library, one is compiling the sources and the other is by installing the precompiled sources in rpm format.

To install from the sources do:

[user@machine tmp]$ tar -xjf erf...tar.bz2 ; cd erf... ; ./configure && make
[user@machine tmp]$ su
[root@machine tmp]$ make install

An rpm install goes like :

[user@machine tmp]$ rpm -ivh --nodeps erf...rpm

or if you are using mandriva linux or other rpm based linux distribution:

[user@machine tmp]$ urpmi erf...rpm

Visit rpm for more information on rpms.
Any problems please report to the miarn mailing list or email/ gmail chat with me.

OpenLDAP project is an open-standard protocol for accessing X.500 directory services. The protocol runs over Internet transport protocols, such as TCP.

LDAP is a lightweight alternative to the X.500 Directory Access Protocol (DAP) for use on the Internet. It uses TCP/IP stack verses the overly complex OSI stack. It also has other simplications, such as the representing most attribute values and many protocol items as textual strings, that are designed to make clients easier to implement.

The OpenLDAP Project is pleased to announce the availability of OpenLDAP Software 2.3, a suite of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (v3) servers, clients, utilities, and development tools.

This release contains the following major enhancements:

Slapd(8) enhancements

Updated slapd "overlay" interface, and several example (and mostly experimental) overlays.
Updated LDAP "sync" Engine with replication support, provider now an "overlay"
Numerous access control enhancements, including experimental "dont disclose on error" capability
Configuration backend

LDAPv3 extensions, including:

LDAP Password Policy
LDAP Component Matching (requires OpenLDAP snacc)
LDAP Modify Increment

This release includes the following major components:

slapd - a stand-alone LDAP directory server
slurpd - a stand-alone LDAP replication server
-lldap - a LDAP client library
-llber - a lightweight BER/DER encoding/decoding library
LDIF tools - data conversion tools for use with slapd
LDAP tools - A collection of command line LDAP utilities
Admin Guide, Manual Pages - associated documentation
SNACC - ASN.1 development tools for OpenLDAP

In addition, there are some contributed components:

LDAPC++ - a LDAP C++ SDK
Various slapd modules and slapi plugins

Common Data Format is a self-describing data abstraction for the storage and manipulation of multidimensional data in a platform- and discipline-independent fashion.
It consists of a scientific data management package (known as the "CDF Library") that allows programmers and application developers to manage and manipulate scalar, vector, and multi-dimensional data arrays.
Enhancements:
- Adds new sets of APIs to allow Standard Interface to interact with zVariables and other CDF-related information.
- Adds MingW and FreeBSD ports.
- Adds support for Intel C++ and Fortran for Linux.
- Adds the ability to create legacy CDF 2.7 files.
- Fixes a bug that prevented directories from having .cdf or .skt extensions.

Local Data Manager (LDM) is a collection of cooperating programs that select, capture, manage, and distribute arbitrary data products.
The system is designed for event-driven data distribution, and is currently used in the Unidata Internet Data Distribution (IDD) project. The LDM system includes network client and server programs and their shared protocols.
An important characteristic of the LDM is its support for flexible, site-specific configuration.
Enhancements:
- Fixes for timestamp bugs.

Test::Data is a Perl module to test functions for particular variable types.

SYNOPSIS

use Test::Data qw(Scalar Array Hash Function);

Test::Data provides utility functions to check properties and values of data and variables.

Functions

Plug-in modules define functions for each data type. See the appropriate module.

How it works

The Test::Data module simply emports functions from Test::Data::* modules. Each module defines a self-contained function, and puts that function name into @EXPORT. Test::Data defines its own import function, but that does not matter to the plug-in modules.

If you want to write a plug-in module, follow the example of one that already exists. Name the module Test::Data::Foo, where you replace Foo with the right name. Test::Data should automatically find it.

POE::Component::Basement provides Class::Std and base POE component functionality.

SYNOPSIS

package POE::MyComponent;

# use as base
use base qw/ POE::Component::Basement /;

# where the initializations happen (see Class::Std)
sub BUILD { ... }

# see also Class::Std and Class::Data::Inheritable also
# for accessor creation etc.

# define states
sub state_one : State( :inline< _start > ) { ... }
sub state_two : State( :object< foo > ) { ... }
sub state_three : State( :package< bar > ) { ... }

# combined
sub state_multi : State( :inline< foobar > :package< snafoo > ) { ... }
...

# chained events
sub first : State( :object< foo > :chained< bar > ) { ... }
sub second : State( :object< bar > ) { ... }
...

# calling in a row
sub first : State( :object< foo > :next< bar > ) { ... }
sub second : State( :object< bar > ) { ... }
...

# usage
my $comp = POE::MyComponent->new ({

# single alias or array reference for multiple
aliases => [qw/ mycomp shub_niggurath /],

... # your specific init_args.
});

Provides Class::Std and base POE component functionality. This module is still kinda experimental.

Evolution Data Server provides a single database for common, desktop-wide information, such as a users address book or calendar events.

Evolution Data Server is also a dependency of the clock applet from the gnome-applets package, 2.10 release.

Evolution provides integrated mail, addressbook and calendaring functionality to users of the GNOME desktop.
