Free 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

PSP Video Converter project is a simple graphical frontend to ffmpeg to allow you to easily convert your videos to PSP compatibile format. Works for me, thought I may share.

Note: Created with Kommander 1.3, not sure if it works with earlier Kommander.

Note: There is no error checking for now, so make sure you have a working ffmpeg with necessary codecs installed.

Note: Looks like some PSPs cant open h264 videos encoded with ffmpeg.

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.

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

Well, I hope that it will be usefull for you, thanks for all.

nautilus-image-converter project is a Nautilus extension to mass resize images.

Adds a "Resize Images..." menu item to the context menu of all images. This opens a dialog where you set the desired image size and file name.

A click on "Resize" finally resizes the image(s) using ImageMagicks convert tool.

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.
