Free rewrites software for linux

Text::RewriteRules Perl module contains a system to rewrite text using regexp-based rules.

SYNOPSIS

use Text::RewriteRules;

RULES email
.==> DOT
@==> AT
ENDRULES

email("ambs@cpan.org") # returns ambs AT cpan DOT org

RULES/m inc
(d+)=e=> $1+1
ENDRULE

inc("I saw 11 cats and 23 docs") # returns I saw 12 cats and 24 docs

ABSTRACT

This module uses a simplified syntax for regexp-based rules for rewriting text. You define a set of rules, and the system applies them until no more rule can be applied.

Two variants are provided:

traditional rewrite (RULES function):

while it is possible do substitute
| apply first substitution rule

cursor based rewrite (RULES/m function):

add a cursor to the begining of the string
while not reach end of string
| apply substitute just after cursor and advance cursor
| or advance cursor if no rule can be applied

A lot of computer science problems can be solved using rewriting rules.
Rewriting rules consist of mainly two parts: a regexp (LHS: Left Hand Side) that is matched with the text, and the string to use to substitute the content matched with the regexp (RHS: Right Hand Side).

Now, why dont use a simple substitute? Because we want to define a set of rules and match them again and again, until no more regexp of the LHS matches.

A point of discussion is the syntax to define this system. A brief discussion shown that some users would prefer a function to receive an hash with the rules, some other, prefer some syntax sugar.

The approach used is the last: we use Filter::Simple such that we can add a specific non-perl syntax inside the Perl script. This improves legibility of big rewriting rules sytems.

This documentation is divided in two parts: first we will see the reference of the module. Kind of, what it does, with a brief explanation. Follows a tutorial which will be growing through time and releases.

rewritten webarchiver plugin is an improved replacement for the webarchiver plugin found in kdeaddons. Compared to the old old webarchiver this one can handle pages with frames and nested stylesheets.
Version restrictions:
- Dynamic content in webpages (flash, java, ...) is not saved.
Installation:
Note you can add the --dry-run option to the patch command to check if the patches apply cleanly to your source tree.
Apply kdelibs-$KDEVERSION.diff to the kdelibs sources, like:
cd kdelibs-3.5.6
patch -p1 -l --backup < webarchiver-r2-kdelibs-3.5.6.diff
Apply the webarchiver kdeaddons-patch to the kdelibs sources, like:
cd kdeaddons-3.5.6
patch -p1 -l --backup < webarchiver-r2-kdeaddons-3.5.6.diff
Load konq-plugins/webarchiver/archivedialog.cpp into you favourite editor. Look for a variable patchedHttpSlave. Set it to true or false depending on whether or not you have the patched http io slave installed.
recompile and install KHTML. This assumes make install installs in the correct place. You can change the basedir with make prefix=/usr.
cd kdelibs-3.5.6/khtml
make && make install-exec
recompile and install the webarchiver
cd kdeaddons-3.5.6/konq-plugins/webarchiver
make && make install-exec
Enhancements:
- new patches against KDE 3.5.6.
- Much stricter and more secure URL checking
- several bug fixes
- last directory is now remembered in save dialog

Eunit project is an Erlang test suite tool, inspired by agile development ideas.
Usage:
Launch example unit test with:
erl -config sys.config
and then
eunit:run([eunit_examples], {suffix, "_test"}).
Enhancements:
- This release is a complete rewrite.
- Writing unit tests should now be simpler than with the previous version.
- This release can also be used with the Aegis configuration management system for continuous integration.

REminiscence is a rewrite of the engine used in the game Flashback from Delphine Software.

REminiscence is designed as a cross-platform replacement for the original executable and uses the SDL library.

What are the differences between this and the original engine ?

You can save/load the game state at any time and you can also play in fullscreen or windowed mode.

aBridge project is a multiplayer online cross-platform bridge game.
It allows you to play bridge online with other real people.
It is currently available for UNIX (including linux), Microsoft Windows and MacOS X.
On all platforms, aBridge supports speech synthesis, allowing you to choose to listen to the bids and chat conversation rather than simply gazing at the screen waiting for someone to play.
aBridge also has some rudimentary bots, for when other players arent online, but their AI is pretty pathetic, and they are in need of a complete rewrite.
Enhancements:
- Complete rewrite of card-displaying code. Cards are now scalable.
- Remember size of game window.
- Use flite instead of festival on sid, since speech-tools is broken on sid at the moment.

Netspeed is just a little GNOME-applet that shows how much traffic occurs on a specified network device (for example eth0).
You get the best impression of it, if you look at the screenshots below.
Enhancements:
- The "layout-engine" for different panel-configurations was rewritten
- Basic IPv6 support
- Icontheme support
- "dummy*" devices are now ignored in the "search for running device" handler
- Try device with default gateway set first in the "search for running device" handler

pcmciautils are the core of the 2.6 PCMCIA subsystem is undergoing gradual evolution to improve its integration with the Linux kernel. This involves a series of clean-ups, code re-organisations, and even some rewrites of parts of the existing subsystem.
Unfortunately, mistakes do creep in from time to time, and this page attempts to detail these, hopefully with either fixes or details describing what information is required to help track down the cause.
I intend to document known problems with the core Linux 2.6 PCMCIA subsystem here, though Im not tracking PCMCIA card driver problems. These are the responsibility of the individual driver maintainers.
There is also the 2.6 kernel bugzilla, which can be used for core PCMCIA bug reports (ie, socket driver bug reports, core pcmcia subsystem bug reports, and the like.) However, please do not enter PCMCIA card driver bugs under the "PCMCIA" category - they come my way; I dont have any real interest in sorting these out. These should be posted to the mailing list (see below.)
Enhancements:
- This release includes fixes for big-endian hosts and for the newly added "lspcmcia" tool.
