Involved Projects and Packages
This module implements a bare-bones class specifically for the purpose of
capturing data from the XML::Writer module. XML::Writer expects an IO::Handle
object and writes XML data to the specified object (or STDOUT) via it's print()
method. This module simulates such an object for the specific purpose of
providing the required print() method.
It is recommended that $writer->end() is called prior to calling $s->value() to
check for well-formedness.
Pygobjects is an extension module for python that gives you access to
GLib's GObjects.
A mod_python handler that uses instances of subclasses of class Servlet (thus
its name) to respond to HTTP GET and POST requests. For each request a series
of methods are called on the instance, the output of such being sent to the
client as the response. This handler was inspired by WebWare.

This package contains the dictionary conversion tools which can convert
dictionaries of DICT, wquick, mova and pydict to stardict format.
Stellarium is a free software available for Windows, Linux/Unix and MacOSX. It renders 3D photo-realistic skies in real time. With stellarium, you really see what you can see with your eyes, binoculars or a small telescope.
Supybot is a robust, user and programmer friendly IRC bot written in
Python. It aims to be an adequate replacement for most existing IRC
bots. It includes a very flexible and powerful ACL system for
controlling access to commands, as well as more than 50 builtin plugins
providing around 400 actual commands.
wxMaxima is a graphical user interface for the computer algebra system maxima.
It uses wxWidgets.
This package contains both a test-server and clients (normal & ssl) for
the ANSI/NISO Z39.50 protocol for Information Retrieval. SRW and SRU
clients and servers are also supported.
This is still for testing atm. It already builds against the 12.2 branched off project which is not final.
This project is used to publish the official 12.2 updates.
Avogadro is an advanced molecular editor designed
for cross-platform use in computational chemistry,
molecular modeling, bioinformatics, materials science,
and related areas. It offers flexible rendering and
a powerful plugin architecture.
BibleTime is a Bible study application for Linux. It is based on the K Desktop Environment and uses the Sword programming library to work with Bible texts, commentaries, dictionaries and books provided by the Crosswire Bible Society .
Bluefish is a HTML editor designed for the experienced Web designer. It
is based on Gtk+.
Cisco Router Emulator supported by GNS3 Community
Dynamips emulates Cisco 7200/3600/3725/3745/2691 Routers on a traditional PC.
You can use dynamips to create labs. It uses IOS Images (which are not part
of this package). Of course, this emulator cannot replace a real router. It is
simply a complementary tool to real labs for administrators of Cisco networks
or people wanting to pass their CCNA/CCNP/CCIE exams.
Enca is an Extremely Naive Charset Analyser. It detects character set and
encoding of text files and can also convert them to other encodings using
either a built-in converter or external libraries and tools like libiconv,
librecode, or cstocs.
Currently, it has support for Belarussian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech,
Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Slovene, Ukrainian,
Chinese, and some multibyte encodings (mostly variants of Unicode)
independent on the language.
This package also contains shared Enca library other programs can make use of.
Install Enca if you need to cope with text files of dubious origin
and unknown encoding and convert them to some reasonable encoding.
eSpeak is a software speech synthesizer for English, and some other languages.
eSpeakEdit provides a User Interface to edit the eSpeak voices.
FOX is a C++-based library for graphical user interface development.
FOX supports modern GUI features such as drag-and-drop, tooltips, tab
books, tree lists, icons, multiple document interfaces (MDI), timers,
idle processing, automatic GUI updating, as well as OpenGL/Mesa for 3D
graphics. Subclassing of basic FOX widgets allows for easy extension
beyond the built-in widgets by application writers.
GCompris / I Have Understood is an educationnal game for children starting at 3.
Today several Boards are implemented:
* Click on the animals => learn the mouse/click usage
* Type the falling letters => learn the keyboard usage
* Falling Dices
* Falling words
* Basic algebra
* Time learning with an analog clock
* Puzzle game with famous paintings
* Drive Plane to catch clouds in increasing number
* Balance the scales
* And much more ...
The Game is included in the Gnome Desktop under the Game menu.
You should install it only if you have children using this computer.
GNS3 is a excellent complementary tool to real labs for administrators
of Cisco networks or people wanting to pass their CCNA,
CCNP, CCIP or CCIE certifications.
It can also be used to experiment features of Cisco IOS or to check configurations
that need to be deployed later on real routers.
Important notice: users must provide their own Cisco IOS to use GNS3.
This package is based on the package 'gnucap' from project 'science'.
The primary component is a general purpose circuit simulator. It
performs nonlinear dc and transient analyses, fourier analysis, and ac
analysis. Spice compatible models for the MOSFET (level 1-7), BJT, and
diode are included in this release.
Gnucap is not based on Spice, but some of the models have been derived
from the Berkeley models.
Unlike Spice, the engine is designed to do true mixed-mode
simulation. Most of the code is in place for future support of event
driven analog simulation, and true multi-rate simulation.
Icinga is a program that will monitor hosts and services on your
network. It has the ability to email or page you when a problem arises
and when a problem is resolved. Icinga is written in C and is
designed to run under Linux (and some other *NIX variants) as a
background process, intermittently running checks on various services
that you specify.
The actual service checks are performed by separate "plugin" programs
which return the status of the checks to Icinga. The plugins are
available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/nagiosplug
iftop does for network usage what top(1) does for CPU usage. It listens
to network traffic on a named interface and displays a table of current
bandwidth usage by pairs of hosts. It is handy for explaining why the
network links slow.
Utilities supporting autoinstallation and creation of customized
installation sources.
Have a look at http://en.opensuse.org/Inst-source-utils for a detailed
description of each script.
John the Ripper is a fast password cracker (password security auditing
tool). Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords, but a
number of other hash types are supported as well.
