Free suit software for linux

Websuite is a suite of simple CGI programs written in C, designed for speed, high availability, and support of name-based virtual hosts. I say that here because that seems to be the number one mistake made with these programs. If given no arguments or incorrect arguments, they will simply exit and expect weberror.cgi to tidy up behind them. The web
error daemon is the only way to find the error and fix it, it must be running. In this way, all error logging and reporting is collected in one place, rather than having template files and error reporting functions in every program.
Sample data and resource trees are now provided in documentation/examples, they may be copied verbatim and edited to suit. They may not be 100% up to date, so if the program complains about an error, the error message is exists surely.
Enhancements:
- Added unset to emailer.cgi
- Start to obsolete short modes from clock and countdown.

SwingWT is a 100% pure Java library which aims to be a free implementation of Swing and AWT. Unlike Swing, SwingWT drives native peer widgets for your platform from SWT. You can see a screenshot of the basic SwingWT demo here (Linux/GTK2) and here (MacOSX).
Main features:
- More responsive GUIs and faster startup times
- Less RAM usage for applications
- Many developers prefer the Swing API
- Existing Swing applications dont need to be recoded
- Mature Swing UI designers can be used
- Developers deploying to *nix/Win32 can compile natively with GCJ and the applications can be distributed without a VM. Linux distribution makers could package many existing Java/Swing applications that previously could not be distributed in workable state.
- SWT components can be directly accessed through the API, allowing mix and match (make Eclipse plugins with Swing!)
- All platform benefits such as font sub-pixel decimation for LCD monitors (unavailable in Swing)
- Use Swing on mobile devices!
- The best of both worlds! New Swing components for JClosableTabbedPane, JCoolBar, JTaskTrayItem..
- A FREE implementation of Swing you can redistribute and modify to suit your own requirements
- Insulation from changes to the SWT APIs
- Insulation from differences between SWT platforms
Enhancements:
- This release contains many fixes and compatibility improvements, including support for AudioClip and SWT 3.2.

iswitchwin lets you easily switch between windows on your workspaces by typing (part of) the caption of the desired window.
iswitchwin has been inspired by iswitch-window.jl originally written by Topi Paavola for Sawfish window manager. iswitchwin uses libwnck to control your window manager and has been primarily written for Metacity and Gnome environment.
It should work with any EWHM compatibile window manager.
Installation:
Assuming you have decent Linux distribution with the following dependencies,
the compilation should be a matter of plain
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
At the moment the following libraries (and their headers) are required:
a) libglade2
b) libwnck
In Debian and Ubuntu these two dependencies are available via
# apt-get install libglade2-dev libwnck-dev
Usage:
First of all make iswitchwin accessible under a hotkey. The setup depends on your particular window manager. you can use the following commands to setup iswitchwin to be run on F12 keystroke under metacity.
$ gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_1
--type string F12
$ gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_1
--type string iswitchwin
This example assumes you are not using custom metacity commands, if you happen to do so, modify the example above to suit your needs.
When you start iswitchwin (either by a hotkey as indicated above, or simply by running the iswitchwin command) the list of all windows on all workspaces appears. You can use the arrow keys or mouse to choose the desired window and doubleclick or enter to select it.
You can also start typing the window title to search for a particular window.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes makefiles to compile cleanly on Ubuntu Feisty.

Service Control is a basically it allows you to easily control services. Very very simple.

Currently only for Gentoos service directories, so if you use another distrobution, youll have to edit the initial combo variable to suit your needs.

NEEDS TO BE RUN AS ROOT!

Installation:

The simplest way to compile this package is:

1. `cd to the directory containing the packages source code and type `./configure to configure the package for your system. If youre using `csh on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure instead to prevent `csh from trying to execute `configure itself.

Running `configure takes a while. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.

2. Type `make to compile the package.

3. Type `make install to install the programs and any data files and documentation.

4. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean.

OutGoing is a hacked together perl script designed to aid in financial planning. It is designed to take in a list of your regular monthly outgoings and generate a lump of HTML which shows:
- The total amount of money going out for the month
- A break down on a week-by-week basis of the money which goes out
- Shows you what payments are left to go out during the remainder of the month
Installation:
Installation is relatively simple; you can just do a:
$ make install
And everything will install under /usr/local
If you want to change the final destination of the software then you can just update the Makefile to suit your requirements or set the INSTALL variable to the Makefile
Note that you may want to change the location of perl from /usr/bin/perl to something more suitable for you system.
Please see the manual page for this software for running details.
There is also a pkg target, ie:
$ make pkg
Which is used to build a Solaris package of this software. To use this you will have to have installed the pkg-tools package as well.
Enhancements:
- Corrected a bug for when we have a four week period which contains a change from daylight savings to normal (eg the change from BST to GMT in the UK) which led to the incorrect week start days being used; whilst most of the data displayed was correct, the details of how much money had gone out and which weeks had already gone by was incorrect.
- Added a feature to the -T flag to specify a period of time relative to the current time so you can use "+1w" to generate the figures for a weeks time or "-5d" to go back a day. Read the manual page for more.

Fork JavaScript project is a general purpose, namespaced JavaScript library with Ajax, Events, DOM manipulation. There are a few bonus lines of code specifically for use with Ruby on Rails but Fork can be happily used outside of Rails also.
Main features:
- an aspiration for the highest quality code
- author documentation
- documented limitations (all libs have them but dont report them)
- in-browser unit/integration tests
- tested in a wide set of browsers.
- functions to help create gracefully degrading web pages
- namespaced code
- does not augment JavaScript built-in prototypes
- does not add a layer of sugar on top of JavaScript to make writing JavaScript like writing in another language
- minimizable with jsmin and includes already minimized versions
- MIT License
- plugin for tight integration with Ruby on Rails
Why?
There are many JavaScript libraries out there. Why add another one to the list? To create a quality library with a liberal license.
I like Ruby on Rails. The Rails default Prototype JavaScript library does not suit many development situations and contains code that makes developing for a wide selection of browsers difficult or impossible. Prototype has some great ideas in its mix but the implementation quality has been questioned many times. Prototype has influenced many JavaScript libraries and some of Prototypes best ideas have also influenced the Fork API.
Because Fork is a namespaced library, you may be able to use both Fork and Prototype simultaneously as you transition from one to the other.
I like the Yahoo! UI library. Of the JavaScript libraries Ive used it has the best API. The YUI library has many valuable nuggets of information about browser bugs and workarounds. The approach of YUI suits browser scripting well.
However there are more than a few places in the code where Im left scratching my head and thinking "why did they do that?" Probably that is how every developer looks at another developers code. The YUI API is the starting point for much of the Fork API.
Most libraries seem to develop too quickly. I like the general debian attitude of careful growth because the browser execution environment is wildly varied and deserves a certain degree of conservatism in the JavaScript we send to it.

PyORBit is a Python binding for the ORBit2 CORBA ORB. It was developped to suit the needs of the bonobo bindings in GNOME-Python, but is usable for other purposes as well. PyORBit aims to follow the standard Python language mapping for CORBA.

It can generate stubs at runtime from typelibs, IDL files, or by introspecting remote objects using ORBit2s IModule typelib capabilities.

BashBurn (Previously Magma) is a bash script designed to make CD burning at the console easier. BashBurn project supports burning normal data CDs, audio CDs, blanking CD-RWs, multisession, and more.

Installation:

1. First, download the latest version. Usually the development versions are pretty stable and should not cause any problems for you, but if you want to be on the safe side, get the latest stable version.
2. Second, unpack the downloaded tar.gz file with the command tar zxvf BashBurn-xyz.tar.gz (Where xyz is the version number). This will create a directory and unpack all files into that. Enter that directory and as root, run the install script as ./Install.sh or sh Install.sh. This will start the installation. Just answer the questions asked and in a matter of seconds the installation is done.
3. You can now delete the folder you unpacked BashBurn in, and as your regular user just type bashburn in a console and the program will start. Remember to first configure BashBurn to suit your system, and then its ready to burn away!
