Free south software for linux

Ximian-South provides a icon pack for GTK+.

jimmacs and tigerts Ximian-South ported to a Gnome Icon Theme.

Locale files for South Africa project are scripts to aid in localization of software. Deals with conversion between different translation formats (such as gettext-based .po formats, OpenOffice.org formats, and Mozilla formats). Also tools to help process localizations etc.
Translate.org.za is a non-profit organisation producing Free and Open Source software that enables and empowers South Africans.
The Translate Project started in 2001 with the vision of providing Free Software translated into the 11 official languages of South Africa. Free Software in your language is true empowerment.
Enhancements:
- The international dialing code has been changed from 09 to 00.

Dartmouth OpenCA-LiveCD project is an KNOPPIX remaster.

Dartmouth OpenCA-LiveCD is a bootable CD with an installation script to help people have an OpenCA Certificate Authority ready for testing in just a few minutes.

This CD works on most Intel architecture PCs regardless of what operating system is installed on its hard disk and even without any hard disk installed. It will not modify any contents of your hard disk unless you specifically ask it to do so.

On boot, you will be asked to provide your Organization, Location (state), and the email address of the OpenCA administrator. Default values will be used if no answers are provided.

import_checker checks Python programs for circular (or recursive) imports.

Python is a fine programming language. There is one horrendous thing with it though, that bites even the most experienced python programmers every now and then: the scope of variables.

Weve been taught to use the keyword global, and heartily do so. Still, problems occur when running into a "recursive import" problem.

Example:

### program A ###

import B

var = 0

if __name__ == __main__:
var = 10
B.doit()

### module B ###

import A

def doit():
print A.var

### end of example ###

Module B will see A.var having value 0, even though in program A we assigned it a value of 10. Python is right and it is not a python bug, but it is $#@! confusing and it is being caused by the recursive import; A imports B, and B imports A.

The import_checker.py is a tool that detects recursive imports.

This problem only occurs for global variables in modules.

The best way of solving the problem is to put var into a new module C,
and import C from both A and B.

Lapsus is a set of programs created to help manage additional laptop features found on Asus laptops and supported by asus-laptop kernel module from ACPI4Asus project, such as additional LEDs, hotkeys, backlight control etc. The project consist of a daemon program monitoring ACPI events, reading/writing /sys/ files created by asus-laptop module and run commands that need privileged access.

The daemon can be controlled over DBus using the client program, or any other programs which has support for that, or can be customized to do so. It can also be controlled with dbus-send utility.

Client program is a KDE Panel Applet (standalone client is planned). It gives easy access to daemons functions, as well as (in the future) providing additional features, such as ACPI hotkeys bindings or power status monitoring.

txt2html is a Perl program that converts plain text to HTML. txt2html project uses the HTML::TextToHTML perl module to do so.
HTML::TextToHTML is a Perl module that converts plain text to HTML.
It supports headings, lists, some tables, simple character markup, and hyperlinking, and is highly customizable.
It recognizes some of the apparent structure of the source document (mostly whitespace and typographic layout), and attempts to mark that structure explicitly using HTML.
Our intent in writing this tool is to provide an easier way of converting existing text documents to HTML format.
txt2html is not a program to convert wordprocessor files or other marked-up document formats. It is also not a program to convert HTML to text. Most HTML browsers do that.
If you need to convert something other than plain text to HTML, or you need to convert from HTML, you should look for a more appropriate tool.
txt2html is not a program for automatically generating a table-of-contents from a file. If you want that, then use txt2html to generate a HTML file, and then use htmltoc or hypertoc on the HTML file.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a bug with umlauts and a bug with UTF-8 characters.
- The "--underline_delimiter" option was added.

Geotrace is a geographical traceroute utility. Geotrace provide graphical view on the map. It has many geographical maps.
In order to be able to use a new map with geotrace, you only need to know one thing: the longitude/latitude of the top left and bottom right corners. Most maps you will find will be centered on 0,0 (about 5 degs south of Ghana and 10 degs west of Gabon. for those of you who dont know, its in Africa.). So, lets do it step by step:
1) Find a map. there are plenty on the web. Nasas a good place to find them (it is a mess though). Or grab one of the few maps at a site with maps for XGlobe and XPlanet.
The image must be in a format understood by gdk-pixbuf (most images youll find will be jpeg or gif which work).
2) Go to the maps/ directory in geotrace. Put the map in there and open up maps.properties
3) on the second line, youll see MAPS:World50.gif, World100.gif etc... Thats a list of all the maps. Add the name of your recently downloaded map on that line.
4) now, you need to tell geotrace what the coordinates are. Add a line to the file that looks as follows:
filename:BOUNDARY=lon1,lat1,lon2,lat2
filename: case sensitive, map has to be in the maps/ folder
lon1 and lat1: longitude and latitude of the top left corner
lon2 and lat2: longitude and latitude of the bottom right corner
As I said earlier, for most maps youll find, youll get -180,90,180,-90 which means that the map is centered on 0,0. However, the two world maps (World100 and World50) in geotrace are centered on 10W,0
You might notice that the three maps of the US have another line associated with them. Thats the alber projection. You probably wont have to deal with that.
4) Run geotrace, select your map from the drop-down and enjoy.
Version restrictions:
- Some hops may have extravagant locations, but for once, its not my fault. The netgeo server does not have fully updated records. So my advice is, just live with it
Enhancements:
- added line color and width options.
- added cmdline args. host to trace, and startup map.
- added map options: path to maps and startup map.
- warning to check paths when run for the first time.
- added status bar
- fixed draw_trace_on_map which didnt draw in certain cases (timeouts)
- fixed bug that caused crash when a hop times out and more hops repond later
- 2001-04-05
- added option: resolve host name or not
- load/save options from file (~/.geotrace) 2001-04-04
- fixed bug that caused last map in file not to be read (world100) 2001-04-03 added options for traceroute (path to exec, timeout and maxttl)

wyoGuide is a guide and a tutorial for developing well-designed cross-platform applications. Where possible any guideline is accompanied with sample code. The included fully working demo application applies all these guidelines and is well suited as a starting code base for your own projects.

wyoGuides main goal is to show how to develop the GUI of your application suitable for any platform. Development with these guidelines gives your application a professional set of base functionality. Application applying these guidelines should allow for ease of use, so a user might immediately feel comfortable.

There is no limitation to use these guidelines with other languages or with other frameworks. The only obstacle is you have to write any code yourself until somebody volunteers to submit code samples to wyoGuide. So far there is only code written in C++ using the wxWidgets framework.

wyoGuide is a work in progress which means not all functionality is specified yet. This leaves a lot of room for improvement if you feel so. wyoGuide is thought for helping you but its also thought for you to help others. Any suggestion for improvement is welcomed (see feedback). These guidelines should and hopefully will get to a state where they simply are just usable.
