Free local directories software for linux

Local Lyrics is a python based amaroK-script requires amaroK 1.4!

I wrote simple wrappers for dcop-calls (using the shell-tool dcop), kdialog and amaroKs script system while writing this script. Use them if you want (its all LGPL) See the .tar.bz2s contense and: http://twoday.tuwien.ac.at/pub/stories/22759/

This lyrics-plugin simply scans a selected folder for textfiles with lyrics. This might be usefull when you have a lot of lyrics stored on your harddisc, but they are not available on lyrc.com.ar or a simmilar service.

Installation:

Open the lyrics-filesystem-x.x.amarokscript.tar.bz2 with amaroKs script managers script install option.

Usage:

Start the script with amaroKs script manager.
Select the directory in which the lyrics are stored.
The filenames of the lyrics have to be:

"artist - title.txt"
or
"title.txt"

Now amaroK will search this folder for lyrics, when there are none in its database for the current track.

Read Local Lyrics is a little Python script works as a lyrics plugin.

If to some audio file, a corresponding ".txt" file can be found in the same folder, this is taken as the lyrics of the song.

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.

Net::UploadMirror is a Perl extension for mirroring a local directory via FTP to the remote location.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::UploadMirror;
my $um = Net::UploadMirror->new(
ftpserver => "my_ftp.hostname.com",
usr => "my_ftp_usr_name",
pass => "my_ftp_password",
);
$um->Update();

or more detailed
my $um = Net::UploadMirror->new(
ftpserver => "my_ftp.hostname.com",
usr => "my_ftp_usr_name",
pass => "my_ftp_password",
localdir => "home/nameA/homepageA",
remotedir => "public",
debug => 1 # 1 for yes, 0 for no
timeout => 60 # default 30
delete => "enable" # default "disabled"
connection => $ftp_object, # default undef
exclusions => ["private.txt", "Thumbs.db", ".sys", ".log"],
);
$um->SetLocalDir("home/nameB/homepageB");
print("hostname : ", $um->get_ftpserver(), "n");
$um->Update();

This module is for mirroring a local directory to a remote location via FTP. For example websites, documentations or developmentstuff which ones were worked on locally. It is not developt for mirroring large archivs. But there are not in principle any limits.

Net::DownloadMirror is a Perl extension for mirroring a remote location via FTP to the local directory.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::DownloadMirror;
my $um = Net::DownloadMirror->new(
ftpserver => "my_ftp.hostname.com",
usr => "my_ftp_usr_name",
pass => "my_ftp_password",
);
$um->Update();

or more detailed
my $um = Net::DownloadMirror->new(
ftpserver => "my_ftp.hostname.com",
usr => "my_ftp_usr_name",
pass => "my_ftp_password",
localdir => "home/nameA/homepageA",
remotedir => "public",
debug => 1 # 1 for yes, 0 for no
timeout => 60 # default 30
delete => "enable" # default "disabled"
connection => $ftp_object, # default undef
exclusions => ["private.txt", "Thumbs.db", ".sys", ".log"],
);
$um->SetLocalDir("home/nameB/homepageB");
print("hostname : ", $um->get_ftpserver(), "n");
$um->Update();

This module is for mirroring a remote location to a local directory via FTP. For example websites, documentations or developmentstuff which ones were uploaded or changed in the net. It is not developt for mirroring large archivs. But there are not in principle any limits.

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

Download Sort is a Firefox extension that automatically saves downloaded files to different directories when using "Save Link As..." or "Save Image as..."

LaTeXDB project brings together LaTeX and a MySQL database. You can use SQL queries in your LaTeX document and loop over the result sets creating tables, serial letters, and other stuff.
LaTeXDB is pretty simple to use, there are only three new commands to extend your LaTeX files: With them you define a database connection, create queries and access the result sets.
You include commands such as
texdbconnection{DBType,host,user,passwd,db}
to setup a database connection,
texdbdef{##query}{select var1,var2,... from table where...}{##VAR1,##VAR2,...}
to define a query, and
texdbfor{##query}{... some LaTeX stuff with ##VAR1, ...}
to use the results in your LaTeX code.
Installation:
This is easy too: Grab the archive, unpack it, and run install as root, or for minimum functionality copy latexdb, latexdb.py and latexdb-preparse.py from the code directory to /usr/local/bin or some other directory that can be found in $PATH. Only put them in the same directory, because latexdb expects latexdb.py and latexdb-preparse.py in its own directory.
Enhancements:
- A bug within the preparser that caused latexdb to break in texdbfor loops with too big arguments was fixed (contributed by Francois Meyer)
- New script pdflatexdb which is the same as latexdb but calls pdflatex instead of latex, so it generates PDF, not DVI files (user request)
