Repository content

This repository contains different categories of software for the i386, amd64 and sparc architectures (the focus being on i386):

Currently, I'm in a transition phase. Some packages are already packaged for Lenny, others are still packaged for Etch. When a package is officially available only from Lenny, I'll try to keep the Etch version around. The packages might also work under testing/unstable, if not, try to build them from source. If this fails, please contact me.

mplayer-dep-dev

Dependencies for libraries needed to build mplayer

 This package exists to get yourself started when you want to compile
 mplayer from source.  This only installs the libraries needed for
 these options:
 .
  - sound drivers: NAS, JACK, ALSA, Pulseaudio
  - video drivers: DirectFb, AAlib, CACA
  - video formats: OggTheora, AV1
  - audio formats: MPEG I Layer 1-3, Ogg Vorbis, CDDA, DCA
  - others: SAMBA, FreeType, libASS
 .
 When there are other useful libraries installed and mplayer detects
 them during ./configure, they will be used as well.
 .
 You should run "./configure; make; make install" from the mplayer
 source.  This will only install two binaries and one manpage, so
 it's really no problem to bypass the package management for that.

ncurses-term-mitch

Terminal definition for WYSE 160 serial terminal

 This package contains a wide+long (132x43) terminfo definition for
 the WYSE 160 serial terminal.
 .
 See http://www.cgarbs.de/wyseinst.en.html for further details.

needrestart

  - binary blacklisting (i.e. display managers)
  - tries to detect required restarts of interpreter based daemons
    (supports Java, Perl, Python, Ruby)

  - fully integrated into apt/dpkg using hooks

nekoplunk

Experimental Karplus-Strong DSSI plugin

 This is a hack on the nekostring plugin and provides "plucked" string
 synthesizer sounds.
 .
 DSSI is an API for audio processing plugins, particularly useful for
 software synthesis plugins with user interfaces (see http://dssi.sf.net/).

nekorgan

organ-like DSSI plugin

 This is an organ-like DSSI plugin.
 .
 DSSI is an API for audio processing plugins, particularly useful for
 software synthesis plugins with user interfaces (see http://dssi.sf.net/).

nekostring

 A synthesizer imitating the polyphonic string ensembles of the 1970s
 .
 DSSI is an API for audio processing plugins, particularly useful for
 software synthesis plugins with user interfaces (see http://dssi.sf.net/).

p0rn-comfort

Support programs for browsing image-gallery sites

 p0rn-comfort consists of several support programs for browsing
 image-gallery sites.  It includes a proxy which enables blacklisting
 of thumbnail sites on-the-fly.  It also supports queueing of entire
 pages for download and fetching them at a later time.  Queuing can
 either be done manually (directly from your browser) or by an
 automated download script which can also follow links between
 different galleries.

photogallery

simple static photogallery script

 photogallery creates simple static image galleries to be deployed
 locally or on a webserver.  It contains additional tools to maintain
 a list of changes in the galleries.

reniced

renice running processes based on regular expressions

 reniced takes a list of regular expressions, looks for processes
 matching them and renices the processes to given values.
 .
 Instead of editing the scripts in /etc/init.d to give daemons the
 nicelevel you want (and get prompted at every package update because
 these files are conffiles) you can just run reniced once a day.

simplebackup

Simple backup tool

 The included script performs a nice and easy file based backup.  It
 can easily be extended to include database dumps or save the output
 from `fdisk -L` and other things as well.

soundconvert

convert compressed sound formats

 soundconvert can recode sound formats like OGG, FLAC and MP3 to
 128kbps-MP3s to be easier to handle on small mobile players.  Other
 output formats can be selected, too.
 .
 soundconvert tries to keep all TAGs intact.  It understands ID3v1,
 OGG, FLAC and GBS tags.
 .
 This is one big ugly dirty hack.  Be careful when using this script!

tentakelcoder

convert files from and to tentacle code

 The Tentacle-Coder has been written for the "Ferkeltaschen" from
 news:de.alt.anime so they can exchange files in a suitable
 format. You can encode binary data into plain ASCII format, but the
 files get very large. Because a randomizer is used, the encoded file
 will always be different, but the decoding works nevertheless.

wallpaper

Find images which can be used as wallpapers

 This script tests if an image is usable as a desktop wallpaper.  A
 list of image types and a minimum and a maximum width and aspect
 ratio can be specified.  If a file passes all the tests, it is
 returned to stdout.

whatsnewfm

utility to filter the daily newsletter from freecode.com

 whatsnewfm is a utility to filter the daily newsletter from freecode.com,
 formerly known as freshmeat.net.
 .
 The main purpose is to cut the huge newsletter to a smaller size by
 only showing items that you didn't see before.
 .
 The items already seen will be stored in a database.  After some
 time, the items expire and will be shown again the next time they are
 included in a newsletter.
 .
 If you find an item that you consider particularly useful, you can
 add it to a "hot" list.  Items in the hot list are always checked for
 updates so that you don't miss anything about your favourite
 programs.
