Free gem to rpm converter software for linux

Gem to rpm converter creates an RPM spec file from a Ruby gem. The project uses the gem metadata to fill out most of the information needed for building an RPM containing the gem.

Usage:

Run gem2rpm --help for options

At its simplest, download a gem (lets call that file GEM) and run

gem2rpm $GEM

This will print an rpm spec file based on the information contained in the gems spec file. In general, it is necessary to edit the generated spec file because the gem is missing some important information that is customarily provided in rpms, most notably the license and the changelog.

Rather than editing the generated specfile, edit the template from which the specfile is generated. This will make it easier to update the RPM when a new version of the Gem becomes available.

To support this process, it is recommended to first save the default template somewhere:

gem2rpm -T > rubygem-GEM.spec.template

Now, edit the template and then run gem2rpm to generate the spec file using the edited template:

gem2rpm -t rubygem-GEM.spec.template > rubygem-GEM.spec

With that, you can now build your RPM as ususal. When a new version of the gem becomes available, you should edit the saved template and rerun gem2rpm over it.

Template Details:

The template is a standard erb file; there are three main variables available in the template file:

format - The Gem::Format for the gem
spec - The Gem::Specification for the gem (the same as format.spec)

Conventions:

A typical source RPM for a gem should consist of three files: the gem file itself, the template for the spec file and the spec file. To ensure that the template will be included in the source RPM, it must be listed as one of the sources in the spec file.

The resulting rpms should follow the naming convention rubygem-$GEM where GEM is the name of the packaged gem. The default template also makes sure that the resulting package provides ruby($GEM), according to general packaging conventions for scripting languages

MS Word to plaintext converter is a service menue easily converts MS Word documents to plain text files. The generated text file is named *.doc.txt.

I hope it is as useful for you as it is for me.

Sound Converter project can convert sound files to other formats.

A simple sound converter application for the GNOME environment. It reads anything the GStreamer library can read, and writes WAV, FLAC, MP3, and Ogg Vorbis files.

After the converter I developed ages ago for Dashboard, I needed something to help me grasp quickly the prices in foreign currencies displayed on the web site I visited.

I therefore started to develop my first greasemonkey script to have Firefox do that automatically.

Yahoo! Finance Currency Converter is not the first one around, I particularly like that one, but for the exercise, I wanted to develop mine using Yahoo! Finance exchange rates.

Rainbyte Video Converter is a Kommander script which helps you convert video and audio in an easy way.

Gem Drop X is a fast-paced puzzle game where its your job to clear the screen of gems before they squash you! (Youre at the bottom, theyre at the top, and they keep coming!)
Gem Drop X was directly ported from the original GemDrop for the Atari 8-bit, which was based on "Magical Drop III" by SNK.
You grab gems (up to 10) of the same color and use them to knock more gems off the screen. Match 3 or more of the same color in a column and >BAM!< they explode! Any adjacent gems of the same color also explode, causing a chain reaction that might cover the entire screen!
The more gems that disappear with one shot, the higher the score you get!
Main features:
- Special objects, which help (or hinder) you on the way. Activate them by including them in a match:
Bombs - stop the chain reaction and destory any gems on either side and above and blow it.
Wildcards - cause more chain reactions with adjacent pieces.
Stopwatches - freezes the gems so no more appear from the top for a few seconds, giving you precious time with which to clear more of the screen!
- Progressive levels. More gems when you start, and less time before new ones appear.
- Expert levels. Levels 15 to 20 have twice as many different colored gems as levels 1 to 14, making it even more difficult to get matches!
- Play with keyboard, joystick, or mouse.
- Beautiful graphics, most 3D rendered
- Stereo music and sound effects.
- Includes source code for both Gem Drop X (in C, using libSDL), as well as the original "Gem Drop" code (in Action!, for the Atari 8bit)!
