Free version control software software for linux

Open RObot COntrol Software (Orocos) framework applies software patterns in C++ to achieve real-time execution of software components and provides an infrastructure to quickly integrate them in a real-time operating system such as RTAI or RTLinux, although it can be tested on normal Linux systems.
The Orocos project started as a Free Software project for robotics, but it has outgrown its robotics-dependent roots. Hence, "Orocos" now consists of two decoupled but integrated sub-projects:
Open Realtime Control Services.
This is a hard realtime Software Framework for all possible machine control applications, fully independent of the projects original robotics focus. It is designed to run safely parallel user defined tasks, on both vanilla Linux 2.6 and hard realtime RTAI. Extensive graphical configuration support is available.
Available features: hardware abstraction, operating system abstraction, event handling, hierarchical and parallel state machines, realtime "PLC" scripting, command parsing, online property configuration, multiple time- and event-triggered threads, advanced data protection for synchronous/asynchronous data flow, strongly typed data flow, (on-line) configuration support, ...
Integration between RTAI and TAO and ACE is also part of the ongoing work towards a hard realtime distributed control infastructure based on CORBA.
Open Robot Control Software.
A set of class libraries and an application framework offering generic functionality for machine tools and robots: cascaded control loops and control components, motion generation and interpolation; kinematics and dynamics; robot-specific control algorithms; estimation and identification; etc.
The following families of applications have working implementations available: force-controlled 6R manipulator arm and Cartesian XYZ machine tools. We would welcome developers to start mobile robot and humanoid robot application(s). In those efforts, much of the material of the above-mentioned applications can be reused. In addition, detailed support is available through the Developers mailing list. So, each new application requires moderate programming effort. (Not taking into account system-dependent modules such as device drivers, or kinematic routines.)
Open RObot COntrol Software is designed to appeal to roboticists. See the Orocos project homepage for an automated download script.
Enhancements:
- Support for RTAI 3.4 and 3.5 was improved.
- Various fixes were made in the CORBA support layer.
- The example code and documentation had a review.

The Bazaar Revision Control System is a changeset-oriented revision control system based on Arch that makes it possible to retain previous changes to projects and coordinate development with other developers.
Its goal is to speed development of an upwards- compatible version of Arch.

Easy Hosting Control Panel is designed for hosting multiple domains on a single machine. It uses LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP).
Easy Hosting Control Panel aims to be easy to install and use, simple, and functional.
Enhancements:
- The installer was improved.
- Known bugs were fixed.

Teacher Control Panel allows a teacher to monitor, lock, and operate student computers and broadcast the teachers screen to the students.
Teacher Control Panel can work with a mix of Windows and Linux workstations. The screens are captured using VNC, and the teachers screen is broadcast using multicast.
Main features:
- Supervise the activity of the students (view student screens)
- Lock student screens
- Broadcast the teacher screen to students (all students or a subset) fullscreen or in a window (this feature uses multicast therefore can scale to many computer very well)
- Control remotely a student computer
- Run a script for every student computers
- Compatible with any Java compatible OS (default configuration is for Linux)

CD-Rom Control is an X Window control panel which eases the use of the cd-rom drive. It allows you to mount, eject/umount, the cd-rom drive at the click of a button.Other features include autostart and cd status checking.

This software is provided as is and has been designed for use on a Linux system. If you are using it on a non-Linux system and you find/fix errors please let me know. If you have problems you can contact me and I will try to answer your queries. Once you have the software you may do with it what you will. The only thing I ask is that if you make any changes, add new features,
let me know and e-mail me a copy of it so I can include the new features or changes into the next version.

Tips for installation:
su
make

Next make one of the following depending on which flavour of GUI you want:
make tk
make gtk
make gnome

Ops Control Panel is a frontend for MRTG.

Unlike many other frontends, it does not have any requirements beyond those of MRTG, although it can support PHP-enabled Web servers instead of just running as a Perl CGI script.

Ops Control Panel project provides overviews of MRTG-based monitoring pages in a variety of formats.

Debian Control Center (DCC) is a modular project written in Python. The goal of this project is to enable normal people to configure their Debian system as well as some of the server packages. A second goal of this project is to make the experienced Debian system administrators to configure and change her system, without having to remember a lot of commands and configuration files. On a more implementation level, the project should be able to accept new modules without having to change a single line of code in the main configuration program.
Enhancements:
- A program called dcc_wrapper included, a wrapper to launch the dcc as root by presenting the user with a password prompt.
- users module, used to manage users.
- groups module, used to manage groups.
- terminal module, only used if you have python-gnome installed, opens a root terminal.
- Debian menu item included.
- Ability to select whether the items should open as open or closed.

Silver Shield PM Control for Linux (formerly known as sispm_ctl) is an application enabling the use of the GEMBIRD SiS-PM device under Linux.

The SiS-PM is an itelligent advanced surge protector with unique features: 4 sockets are manageable from the PC via USB port (GEMBIRD LTD).

Silver Shield PM Control for Linux software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details see the LICENCE file. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see the LICENCE file for details.

Thanks go out to Gembird for the kind support, the libusb project, the USB snoopy team, Andreas Neuper and the other contributors.

This software is also included in the driver package from Gembird and available from the Gentoo/Portage tree (courtesy Wolfram Schlich).

Installation:

You need libusb-0.15 or newer installed on your system (if you have an older version of libusb it MIGHT work, youll have to tweak configure.in though and call scripts/bootstrap. Nevermind if this is just glibberish for you.

sis_pmctl is only available as sourcecode distribution. To install on your system run:

tar xzvf sispm_ctl-2.1.tar.gz
cd sispm_ctl-2.1
./configure
make
make install

Note: The compiled application is named sispmctl since 2.0 without the underscore!

This installs the applicationsis pmctl in /usr/local/bin. If you want to install the application to a different directory,

call ./configure --prefix=/your/preferred/dir.

The web-interface skins are installed under $prefix/httpd/sispm_ctl/skin?; the default skin is pre-selected with the doc symbolic link in the $prefix/httpd/sispm_ctl directory.

Options:

-h Print usage information
-s Scan all universal serial buses for devices with the ID 04B4:FD11.

-l stay listening on network port for http protocol.

-p IP network port (default: 2638) for listener. There is no authentication implemented yet.

-u give the directory path where pages lay, that are served (default: /usr/local/httpd/pmctl ). The Web path component is completely ignored for security reasons.

-b switch the buzzer on and off (I was not able to test it, mine does not hat it)

-o switch the named outlet to "ON"

-f switch the named outlet to "OFF"

-g show the status of the named outlet

-d Choose not the first but the named one in the sequence of detected devices (see scan option)

-n do not print "ON" and "OFF", but "1" and "0" instead

-q do neither print explanations nor disclaimers except it is requested

-v print version & copyright
