Free metric conversion software for linux

MOV, MP4 conversion service is final and working version of my script, which I use to convert files supported by ffmpeg to MOV / MP4 format, supported by my iPod Video G5.

Everything was tested to be easy to use (finally, after installation). If You have any problems with it, just let me know - Ill try to help as far as I can.

INSTALLATION:

Just download "avi2mov" script, and save it in /usr/sbin/ directory (You can save it in any directory, but take care later, because i assume, youve saved it in /usr/sbin/ :) ).

After this, You need to set proper permissions, so use chmod:

chmod +x /usr/sbin/avi2mov

Finally, You need to add this converter to Service Menu. Create file

/usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/convert-avi-to-mov.desktop

with Kate for example, and copy and paste this code:

[Desktop Action MediaConvertFile]
Exec=/usr/sbin/avi2mov %U
Icon=reload
Name=Convert selected file to mov / mp4 ...
[Desktop Entry]
Actions=MediaConvertFile
Encoding=UTF-8
Icon=reload
ServiceTypes=video/*
ExcludeServiceTypes=kdedevice

ifmetric is a Linux tool for setting the metrics of all IPv4 routes attached to a given network interface at once.

This may be used to change the priority of routing IPv4 traffic over the interface. Lower metrics correlate with higher priorities.

ifmetrics purpose

Sometimes two network interfaces of different speeds with equal routes are available at the same time. (e.g. a laptop with both a wireless and a copper LAN card) The one with the greater througput should be preferred over the other. To achieve this, you may use the routes metric field. Routes with lower metrics are preferred over those with higher. Unfortunately many network configurators (like DHCP clients) do not support to set the metric for a route. ifmetric may be used to manipulate the metrics of routes a posteriori. The default metric for a route in the Linux kernel is 0, meaning the highest priority.

ifmetric makes use of the NETLINK interface of the Linux kernel for manipulating the routes. Thus, ifmetric is compatible with complex routes created with iproute2.
ifmetric doesnt modify the routes atomically. The is due to the NETLINK API. However, this should not hurt since ifmetric makes sure that not routes are ever lost while modifying them.

Usage:

Have a look on the manual page ifmetric(8).
To give all other interfaces a higher priority than wlan0 simply run:

ifmetric wlan0 1

To reset the metrics of the routes attached to wlan0 simply run:

ifmetric wlan0 0

CEIConvert provides an email conversion program for kMail, Netscape, Evolution, and Eudora.

This tool will convert your individual emlx mail files (found in ~/Library/Mail/) to the old mbox format, used by almost every UNIX/Linux mail client and recognized by many more.

Basically, it helps you migrate your email messages to a different mail client.

Perl::Metric::Basic is a Perl module that can provide basic software metrics.

SYNOPSIS

# first construct a PPI::Document object to pass in
my $document = PPI::Document->load("t/lib/Acme.pm");

# then retrieve metrics on the document
my $m = Perl::Metric::Basic->new;
my $metric = $m->measure($document);

# $metric will consist of something like:
# Acme => {
# new => {
# blank_lines => 1,
# comments => 1,
# lines => 7,
# lines_of_code => 6,
# numbers => 0,
# numbers_unique => 0,
# operators => 3,
# operators_unique => 2,
# symbols => 5,
# symbols_unique => 2,
# words => 7,
# words_unique => 6
# },
# ...

When constructing software one often produces code of vastly differing quality. The Perl::Metric::Basic module leverages the PPI module to provide some interesting software metrics for Perl code, mostly measuring size and maintainability.

A metric is some sort of measurement which is intended to help you make a decision about a piece of code. There arent any hard rules about metrics, but the ones provided should allow you to make decisions about modules or subroutines which are outliers. Abnormal measurements in a subroutine are a warning sign that you should reexamine that routine, checking for unusually low quality.

This module uses the PPI module, and thus can parse Perl code without evaluating it.
If youre interested in software metrics, I highly recommend "Code Complete" (Second Edition) by Steve McConnel (Microsoft Press).

METHODS

new()

The new() method is the constructor:
my $m = Perl::Metric::Basic->new;

measure()

The measure() method measures some metrics and returns a hash reference. Files in Perl can contain more than one package, and it is interesting to seperate metrics by package. The key for the hash reference is the name of the package, and the value is another hash reference.

Perl packages are seperated into subroutines, and it is interesting to seperate metrics by subroutine. The key for the second hash reference is the name of the subroutine, and the value is another hash reference containing metrics.

There are various metrics applied to the subroutine. The key for the third hash reference is the name of the metric, and the value is the value of the metric. The metrics are:

blank_lines

The number of blank code lines.

comments

The number of lines containing comments.

lines

The total number of lines.

lines_of_code

The number of lines of code.

numbers

The total number of numbers used (eg "$z = 42 * 3" would have 2 numbers).

numbers_unique

The number of unique numbers used (eg "$z = 2*$x + 2*$y" would have 1 unique number).

operators

The total number of operators used.

operators_unique

The number of unique operators used.

symbols

The total number of symbols used (eg "$z = $x*$x + $y*$y" would have 5 symbols).

symbols_unique

The number of unique symbols used (eg "$z = $x*$x + $y*$y" would have 3 unique symbols).

words

The total number of words (operators) used.

words_unique

The number of unique words used.

Mail::Message::Convert is a Perl module for conversions between message types.

INHERITANCE

Mail::Message::Convert
is a Mail::Reporter

Mail::Message::Convert is extended by
Mail::Message::Convert::Html
Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatPS
Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatText
Mail::Message::Convert::MailInternet
Mail::Message::Convert::MimeEntity
Mail::Message::Convert::TextAutoformat

SYNOPSIS

Available methods are very converter-specific.

This class is the base for various message (and message parts) converters. When the conversion does not change the contents of the body, most of the converters will return the source object. In any case, an Mail::Message::Body is returned with the conversion applied but as much of the other meta data stored in the source body unchanged.

In most cases, converters are created by Mail::Message when they are needed; have a look at the encode and decoded methods on message objects.

Convert::RACE is a conversion between Unicode and RACE.

SYNOPSIS

use Convert::RACE;

$domain = to_race($utf16str);
$utf16str = from_race($domain);

This module provides functions to convert between RACE (Row-based ASCII-Compatible Encoding) and Unicode Encodings.

RACE converts strings with internationalized characters into strings of US-ASCII that are acceptable as host name parts in current DNS host naming usage.
