Free how can i get others to recycle software for linux

CPAN::Test::Others is a Perl module to include tests for other modules on CPAN.

SYNOPSIS

You dont have any use for this module, just run its tests and report them to CPAN Testers

Sometimes I have an urge to write tests for other modules. Getting these tests included in the real distributin is not always easy, other module authors are busy too. They might have a real life.

So this module does not have its own code, it only has prerequisites and tests for those other modules.

WP Clipart now includes a viewer to expediate the use of the clipart collection. While it is true that any editor will allow you to "browse" your system for images to open or insert, the interface can often be slow, or you have to dig through the system to find the clipart, and often the display of the images (in thumbnail form) is very small.

The Clipart Viewer (CAV) is quick, has a nice size display (up to 240x240 pixels) and the images are displayed, when resized, in their original proportions. In other words, you get a real good look at the images before you pick one. CAV then lets you copy the image in original size to the clipboard to paste into your program. The preview quality and speed are the biggest advantages to using CAV, but there are a couple other advantages that are not immediately obvious.

First, you paste the saved image while keeping CAV open. This allows you to change your mind to try a different clip or copy and paste another image quickly. You dont have to block your editor with another "open" or "insert" dialog to keep going. You can also paste it into a graphics editor if you want to do a little tweaking and not have to find it again.

On Linux, you often cannot get images into the clipboard to use in apps like AbiWord or the Gimp. Simply by keeping CAV open, Abi and Gimp can be pasted into.

I programmed CAV with Python/wxPython/wxGTK. Dependencies should not be a problem on any system as I have created "stand-alone" executables for both Linux and Windows, using cxFreeze and py2exe, respectively, and included these in the downloads for WP Clipart. [They are in the "Viewer" folder.]

Below are a few screenshots. The use of the little app is fairly self-explanatory . . . by clicking on the "caviewer" in the wpclipart/viewer directory (or more easily, by making a symlink or shortcut to that file) CAV will open with its search tree open to the clipart directory.

Tournament Pool and Bracket Tracker is a Java Servlet based generic game tournament pool bracket tracking application suitable especially for the NCAA basketball championship tournament.
Features include bracket entering, multiple scoring systems, multiple users, groups, pools, etc.
Tournament Pool and Bracket Tracker contains everything you need to run a tournament pool.
It supports small groups or organizations who wish to provide an NCAA basketball tournament pool without a lot of administrative work in registering users or in calculating up-to-date results and possibilities.
Though it was built with the NCAA "March Madness" tournaments in mind, it should be able to handle other sport tournament pools that use straight forward brackets.
As an administrator, you will first log into the system like any other user. Any user can create a group and aministrate their own pool. A group is a set of players that play together in any number of pools.
Pool adminstrators can choose from many different scoring systems. Scoring systems can be set up dynamically in the database. When you set up a group, you have a choice. Either you can tell the users about the pool, and have them register, then notify you. You would then add the users to the group manually. This keeps membership totally within your control.
However, you can also create an invitation code. Youll then have an link to the system with that invitation code embedded. You can send this link to your users. When they click the link and login (with a possible detour through registration), they will be automatically added to your group.
They can then create their bracket and add it to a pool without your direct involvement. You do risk that the email gets circulated to others and people you dont intend to enter your group do.
Players can create as many brackets as they like, name them, leave them unfinished, come back to them later, etc. Players can add a bracket to a pool once the bracket is finished either from the bracket interface page or from the pool interface page.
Once a tournament is underway, users can keep track of their progress as the administrator for a tournament updates the results of games. Tournaments results are updated by the administrator with the same interface players use to enter their brackets.
Players are prevented from editing their brackets once it has been added to a pool that has a tournament underway. Tournament administrators can delegate the duty of keeping game results up to date to others if they arent going to be around for some of the games via a simple interface.
This allows players to come into the system regularly during the tournament and check their results and the standings much quicker than your typical spreadsheet based systems. If something is updated wrong, the players will keep you honest. The results show current, remaining, and maximum available points.
Any user can inspect the other players brackets in the pool. The brackets are presented with good picks in the green and bad picks in the red.
Version restrictions:
- Right now, all of the bracket, tournament, and teams setup is done via SQL scripts. I typically am working on the scripts the night they are announced. The priority list for the user interface work so far has been first to make the player experience nice, second to make the in-tournament administration nice, and only third to make the tournament setup nice. Hopefully by the time March 2006 rolls around this third area will be improved.
- At this point the bracket system wont handle highest seed meets lowest seed type of brackets. Unfortunately, this rules out using this system for the NFL Playoffs for the time being. Ive been working on this, but it is hard nut to crack.
Installation:
- Install MySQL and Tomcat
- Put the tournament.war file in the tomcat webapps folder.
- To get the database ready, run the following commands from the mysql.exe tool in the following order:
. [path]configdb.sql
. [path]configncaa.sql
. [path]configncaa-teams.sql
. [path]configncaa-2004.sql (optional)
. [path]configacc.sql (optional)
. [path]configacc-2005.sql (optional)
. [path]configncaa-2005.sql
You need to grant privileges in mysql as well:
GRANT ALL PRIViLEGES ON *.* TO testuser@localhost
IDENTIFIED BY testpw WITH GRANT OPTION;
Make some tweaks to the [tomcat home]/conf/web.xml file. Uncomment the following:
< !-- The invoker servlet -->
< servlet>
< servlet-name>invoker
< servlet-class>
org.apache.catalina.servlets.InvokerServlet
< /servlet-class>
< init-param>
< param-name>debug
< param-value>0
< /init-param>
< load-on-startup>2
< /servlet>
and
< !-- The mapping for the invoker servlet -->
< servlet-mapping>
< servlet-name>invoker
< url-pattern>/servlet/*
< /servlet-mapping>
This enables the autoinvoker servlet, which maps from URLs to class names which happen to be J2EE servlet classes. Some people consider this a security risk, which is why it is disabled by default. Ive never had an issue so long as I know all of the servlet classes I have in the system. This can be changed. If you consider it an issue, let me know via a feature request.
- Start MySQL and Tomcat
- Go to http://localhost:8080/tournament/
Enhancements:
- This release adds many new options for the tournament pool administrator.
- You can do tie breakers, not show the players brackets to each other until the tournament starts, limit the number of brackets per player, and run a pool starting later in a tournament, such as starting at the Sweet 16.
- There is also a new interface for setting the start date and time of the tournament, sorting enhancements, the ability to edit pool settings, ranking the brackets of a running pool, and players may reset their passwords.

ChangePassword modifies the passwords of passwd, Samba, and Squid through the Web. All passwords are syncronized and changed in real time through browsers like Mozilla, Netscape, IE, Opera, and others.

Get Company Info allows you to view the latest financial data and other company information in a separate tab.

Highlight a company name on your page with the mouse, right-click and choose Get Company Info. You will receive the latest financial data and other company information in a separate tab.

No need in ugly toolbars. Recognizes companies by both names and tickers.

ps-watcher monitors various processes based on ps-like information. ps-watcher runs the ps command periodically and triggers commands on matches.
The match patterns are Perl regular expressions which can refer to the process information via variables.
Installation:
The `configure shell script attempts to guess correct values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation.
It uses those values to create a `Makefile in each directory of the package. It may also create one or more `.h files containing system-dependent definitions.
Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file `config.cache that saves the results of its tests to speed up
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log containing compiler output (useful mainly for debugging `configure).
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try to figure out how `configure could check whether to do them, and mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README so they can be considered for the next release.
If at some point `config.cache contains results you dont want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
The file `configure.in is used to create `configure by a program called `autoconf. You only need `configure.in if you want to change it or regenerate `configure using a newer version of `autoconf.
The simplest way to compile this package is:
1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system.
If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.
Running `configure takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.
2. Type `make to compile the package.
3. Optionally, type `make check to run any self-tests that come with the package.
4. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean. To also remove the files that `configure created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean.
There is also a `make maintainer-clean target, but that is intended mainly for the packages developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.
Enhancements:
- Some minimal Cygwin support was added, and support for other operating systems (NetBSD, OpenBSD, and OS X) was corrected.
- For security, there is aa --path option to limit the path used in running commands.
- Some bugs were fixed and the code was modernized a little.
