XSBrowser 2.00
XSBrowser is a project which creates a human-readable documentation of XML document types. more>>
XSBrowser is a project which creates a human-readable documentation of XML document types.
The xsbrowser creates a human-readable documentation of XML document types represented as XML 1.0 DTDs or XML schemas (REC-xmlschema-20010502).
The user neednt understand the DTD or XML Schema syntax. The xsbrowser exploits XML Schema. Although you can directly feed a DTD into the xsbrowser, it is recommended to first translate the DTD using the dtd2xs translator.
The dtd2xs translator allows a more sophisticated mapping of DTDs onto XML schemas. The only requirement is a Web browser that supports Java applets, Javascript, and CSS1.
The Web browser neednt support XML.
As a main feature, the XSBrowser exploits human readable material contained in DTD comments and XML Schema documentation and presents it to the user who is interested in the meaning of XML documents. Only human readable material converts syntactical markup into meaningful (semantic) markup.
XSBrowser allows navigating an XML document model and creating valid XML instance documents using an HTML browser. Enumerated values are listed in a select box, i.e. completely structured and coded XML documents can be created by pure means of a
The user can navigate the XML node tree. The XPath expression in the middle frame identifies the selected XML node. Anonymous repeating groups (repeating choice, repeating sequence) are represented by the location steps _choice and _sequence. The user can navigate up to any ancestor of the selected node by clicking onto the corresponding XPath location step.
The lower left frame links to the child nodes of the selected XML node (down navigation). If the down navigation is unambigious the xsbrowser automatically navigates down until it needs a user decision (choice, selection of an instance).
Version restrictions:
- The xsbrowser supports all basic XML Schema concepts. Some advanced XML Schema concepts (REC-xmlschema-0-20010502) are not yet implemented. Other limitations derive from the fact that Java applets (see architecture) have only limited access to Internet resources (applet security). It is possible to overcome these limitations with a Web server and an applet-servlet-communication. A future version of the xsbrowser will address these limitations.

pgpmoose 2.00
pgpmoose is a program that cancels invalid messages from moderated Usenet groups. more>>
pgpmoose is a program that cancels invalid messages from moderated Usenet groups.
All messages to a specific group are assumed to have a PGP signature added at injection by the newsgroup moderator; if no such signature exists, or if the signature is invalid for the stated moderator of the group, then the message is assumed to be invalid.
This program takes care of actually issuing the cancels for those messages.
Enhancements:
- This release adds support to issue NoCeM messages as well as cancels, and can cancel a directory of posts (not just posts from a news spool).

Construct 2.00
Construct is a python module for defining arbitrary data structures. more>>
Construct is a python module for defining arbitrary data structures. Once a data structure (aka, "construct") is defined, it can be used to both parse raw data into an object and build an object into raw data.
Unlike most parsers, it works at the bit-level, so you dont need to worry about parsing individual bits or unaligned fields.
Construct library supports Fields, Unions, Structs and Repeaters; Adapters and Validators; Switches, Pointers and other Meta -constructs.
Main features:
- Symmetrical -- constructs can be used to parse as well as to build
- Bit-level -- can parse and build individual bits, not only bytes
- Ready -- lots of predefined primitives and common protocols definitions, which you can easily use
- Extensible -- you can easily write user-defined constructs by simply by subclassing
- Fast -- benchmarks on my machine show ~160KB/sec can be parsed, fast enough for most situations, and perhaps pysco can improve that
- Declarative -- no procedural code needed for most situations
Enhancements:
- Construct2 is a rewrite of the library, making it faster and much slimmer.
- The library is now byte-oriented instead of bit-oriented, so it uses eight times less memory.
- It can parse files directly from the disk.
- Meta constructs now use lambda instead of eval.
- Textual processing (context free grammar) was added.
- On-demand parsing was added.
- Thorough unit tests were added.
- A full online tutorial is available.

HA-Tools provide some programs to improve shell scripting in a High Availability environment.
The halockrun program provides a simple and reliable way to implement a locking in shell scripts. A typical usage for halockrun is to prevent cronjobs to run simultanously. halockrun uses a lock on a file via fcntl(2) which ensures the release of the lock even if the process gets killed via SIGKILL.
The hatimerun program provides a time-out mechanism which can be used from shell scripts.
Enhancements:
- This release features some extensions and clarifications about the exit codes returned by halockrun and hatimerun.

Rotter 0.3
Rotter is a Recording of Transmission / Audio Logger for JACK. more>>
Rotter is a Recording of Transmission / Audio Logger for JACK. The project was designed for use by radio stations, who are legally required to keep a recording of all their output. Rotter runs continuously, writing to a new file every hour. It is released under the GPL license.
Rotter can output files in two different strutures, either all files in a single directory or create a directory structure:
flat: /root_directory/YYYY-MM-DD-HH.suffix
hierarchy: /root_directory/YYYY/MM/DD/HH/archive.suffix
The advantage of using a folder hierarchy is that you can store related files in the hours directory.
Usage
rotter [options] < directory >
-a Automatically connect JACK ports
-f < format > Format of recording (see list below)
-b < bitrate > Bitrate of recording (bitstream formats only)
-c < channels > Number of channels
-n < name > Name for this JACK client
-d < hours > Delete files in directory older than this
-R < secs > Length of the ring buffer (in seconds)
-H Create folder hierarchy instead of flat files
-j Dont automatically start jackd
-v Enable verbose mode
-q Enable quiet mode
Supported audio output formats:
mp3 MPEG Audio Layer 3 [Default]
mp2 MPEG Audio Layer 2
aiff AIFF (Apple/SGI 16 bit PCM)
aiff32 AIFF (Apple/SGI 32 bit float)
au AU (Sun/Next 16 bit PCM)

DigicaMerge 2.00
DigicaMerge is a commandline tool to merge directories of pictures taken with digital cameras. more>>
DigicaMerge project is a commandline tool to merge directories of pictures taken with digital cameras. If youve got a digital camera, your hard disk probably contains many directories full of pictures all named with the same names.
This utility allows you to merge such directories contents into a new directory, and renames all the pictures on the fly, ensuring no filename clash will occur.
You can define your own naming scheme, using either a set of predefined variables or any recognized Exif tag which may be present in your pictures, and also specify a pattern to select only certain files.
Installation:
- Extract it :
$ gzip -d digicamerge-x.xx.tar.gz | tar -xf -
where x.xx is digicamerges latest version number.
- Install it :
Go to digicamerges directory:
$ cd digicamerge-x.xx
Just type:
$ python setup.py install
You may need to be logged in with sufficient privileges (e.g. root)
This will generally install digicamerge in /usr/local/bin or an equivalent path depending on your system.
- Launch it :
Just type :
$ digicamerge
And read the long help message which contains examples.
Enhancements:
- A command line option was added to automatically remove duplicate pictures when merging directories.
- The manual page is now included in the package.

debsync is a Python command line tool which helps to synchronise the installed packages lists on several existing Debian GNU/Linux machines.
debsync gets a list of installed packages from a master host, and installs or removes packages on several hosts to match the masters package list.
debsync can do its work either over ssh (default) or rsh.
debsync is different from fai (Full Automated Installation) because AFAIK fai works with machines you plan to install automatically and identically, while debsyncs goal is to update a bunch of existing and different machines to the level at which they both have the same packages installed as those installed on a master host.

db_flay generates a simple - but productive - web interface for databases. The target user of db_flay is a secretary, rather than a database administrator. (You will need a database administrator to configure the script initially.)
db_flay lets users view data, edit data, copy data, and delete data in multiple databases.
The copy feature is especially useful as a time-saver! For some reason, many other database tools leave this feature out...
Main features:
- View, edit, copy, delete data in multiple databases.
- Generates query forms for searching through the database.
- Pre-defined queries can be used instead of a query form.
- Can pre-populate query form fields with foreign keys, or
- can pre-populate query form fields with existing data.
- Can auto-increment serial-type fields when adding new data.
- Pre-defined sorts, or click on field label to sort by that field.
- *, % and spaces are interpreted as multi-character wildcards.

Grafpup 2.00
Grafpup Linux is a desktop Linux operating system based closely on Puppy Linux. more>>
Grafpup Linux is a desktop Linux operating system based closely on Puppy Linux. Grafpups goal is to be as useful to graphic designers and other imaging professionals as possible while still remaining extremely small and fast. How small?
Grafpup is a live cd of only 72mb with current versions of Gimp, Cinepaint, Inkscape, and Scribus. You will be amazed at how much is in there for the size. You will also be amazed at how fast everything runs.
Running from the live cd, the entire operating system loads into ram, including all of the applications. This means that your programs start without any hesitation and respond instantly to your input. Unlike some live cds, however, you dont have to reconfigure every time you reboot.
Grafpup saves all of your settings into a file called pup101 on your hard drive. This file contains your entire home directory, plus any additional programs that you wish to install. Grafpup is also very user friendly, with wizards for doing most system tasks like connecting to the internet and installing to hard disk or usb drive.
There is also a powerful package management system, pupget, with a very extensive and ever increasing list of additional packages available for easy installation. An additional package installer, dotpup, offers single click installation of a long list of software. In other words this is much more than a garden variety live cd. It is capable of being your main operating system and extensible enough to satisfy just about anyone.
How is all of this accomplished? I wish I could take all of the credit but I really have to take my hat off to the developer of Puppy Linux, Barry Kauler. Puppy (and Grafpup) uses the squash filesystem method of compression to reduce the size of the cd image by about two thirds. Then, through the magic of unionfs the whole filesystem becomes writeable again.
For a full explanation please go to the Puppylinux website, www.puppylinux.org. Another aspect of the incredible size to utility ratio is the careful selection of applications that goes into Puppy and has made its way into Grafpup. Applications are chosen for speed and simplicity, avoiding bulky and wasteful code. Grafpup uses icewm as its default (and only) window manager.
KDE or Gnome arent even considered. Opera is used as the default browser and email client, instead of the common combination of Firefox and Thunderbird which would be half again as large. Though small, you will find that ROX-filer is one of the best filemanagers that you will ever use. It just plain works. I have further cut down in certain other areas in order to leave room for some serious heavy duty graphics applications.
Even though things are cut down, you will find that Grafpup is a fairly complete operating system and most tasks can be completed without the need for additional software. You will be able to browse the web, send and recieve email, write and print documents, organize your digital photos, and watch dvd movies and video off the internet.
You will also be able to burn cds and dvds, create impressive graphics and animations, put together professional looking web pages, and create press-ready brochures or other materials for print. And Im talking about the live cd without any additional software.
Visit the Grafpup and Puppy package repositories and you can unlock as much potential as any of the most popular Linux distros out there. There you will find such powerful software as OpenOffice and the Seamonkey internet suite. You can create 3d graphics using Blender, or even install and run a large selection of Windows software using Wine.
Try it and see for yourself. Since it is a live cd there is very little, if any, risk involved. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised at what can be done using such a tiny system.
Enhancements:
- Grafpup 2.00 (final) is officially on the mirrors. This release comes with some really bleeding edge features when compared with previous versions, such as a 2.6.20.2 kernel, revamped package management with dependency resolution, GIMP 2.3.14, Cinepaint 0.22 with the Ufraw plug-in, a brand new control panel, cdrkit replacing cdrtools, Openbox replacing IceWM, and a host of other changes. In addition to the light-weight Openbox desktop, you can also easily download and install both Xfce and KDE. The software repository has blown up to include over 1,100 titles (and counting).
<<lessGrafpup is a live cd of only 72mb with current versions of Gimp, Cinepaint, Inkscape, and Scribus. You will be amazed at how much is in there for the size. You will also be amazed at how fast everything runs.
Running from the live cd, the entire operating system loads into ram, including all of the applications. This means that your programs start without any hesitation and respond instantly to your input. Unlike some live cds, however, you dont have to reconfigure every time you reboot.
Grafpup saves all of your settings into a file called pup101 on your hard drive. This file contains your entire home directory, plus any additional programs that you wish to install. Grafpup is also very user friendly, with wizards for doing most system tasks like connecting to the internet and installing to hard disk or usb drive.
There is also a powerful package management system, pupget, with a very extensive and ever increasing list of additional packages available for easy installation. An additional package installer, dotpup, offers single click installation of a long list of software. In other words this is much more than a garden variety live cd. It is capable of being your main operating system and extensible enough to satisfy just about anyone.
How is all of this accomplished? I wish I could take all of the credit but I really have to take my hat off to the developer of Puppy Linux, Barry Kauler. Puppy (and Grafpup) uses the squash filesystem method of compression to reduce the size of the cd image by about two thirds. Then, through the magic of unionfs the whole filesystem becomes writeable again.
For a full explanation please go to the Puppylinux website, www.puppylinux.org. Another aspect of the incredible size to utility ratio is the careful selection of applications that goes into Puppy and has made its way into Grafpup. Applications are chosen for speed and simplicity, avoiding bulky and wasteful code. Grafpup uses icewm as its default (and only) window manager.
KDE or Gnome arent even considered. Opera is used as the default browser and email client, instead of the common combination of Firefox and Thunderbird which would be half again as large. Though small, you will find that ROX-filer is one of the best filemanagers that you will ever use. It just plain works. I have further cut down in certain other areas in order to leave room for some serious heavy duty graphics applications.
Even though things are cut down, you will find that Grafpup is a fairly complete operating system and most tasks can be completed without the need for additional software. You will be able to browse the web, send and recieve email, write and print documents, organize your digital photos, and watch dvd movies and video off the internet.
You will also be able to burn cds and dvds, create impressive graphics and animations, put together professional looking web pages, and create press-ready brochures or other materials for print. And Im talking about the live cd without any additional software.
Visit the Grafpup and Puppy package repositories and you can unlock as much potential as any of the most popular Linux distros out there. There you will find such powerful software as OpenOffice and the Seamonkey internet suite. You can create 3d graphics using Blender, or even install and run a large selection of Windows software using Wine.
Try it and see for yourself. Since it is a live cd there is very little, if any, risk involved. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised at what can be done using such a tiny system.
