Some sort of useful software (mainly FLOSS)
not already present in main repositories.

AtomicParsley is a lightweight command line
program for reading, parsing and setting metadata
into MPEG-4 files supporting these styles of
metadata:

* iTunes-style metadata into .mp4, .m4a,
.m4p, .m4v, .m4b files
* 3gp-style assets (3GPP TS 26.444 version
6.4.0 Release 6 specification conforming)
in 3GPP, 3GPP2, MobileMP4 and derivatives
* ISO copyright notices at movie and track
level for MPEG-4 and derivative files
* uuid private user extension text and file
embedding for MPEG-4 and derivative files

The MPEG-4 container is based on Apple's Quicktime
.mov container (just more sane) and there are a
number of similarites - as well as differences.

Each MPEG-4 file lists a "major file brand" that
broadly says which specification the file adheres
to. For example, an iTunes audio file typically
lists 'M4A ' as its major file brand, while a
3GPP2 .3g2 file has something like '3g2a'. It is
based on this major file brand that AtomicParsley
allows a style of metadata to be set.

Since there is nothing in the 3GPP2 specification
regarding iTunes-style metadata, its use is
prevented on such files. Similarly, a 3gp
'location' asset is not available for an iTMS
video file.

audiotag is a command line tool for ID3/Ogg
tag editing. It si currently possible
tagging MP4 files as vary many music and
sound file formats.

It features pattern matching and recursive
directory traversal. It is suitable for

Bashish is a theme enviroment for text terminals.

It can change colors, font, transparency and

DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, BD-RE.

Supervise monitors a service. It starts the service and restarts the
service if it dies. The companion svc program stops, pauses, or
restarts the service on sysadmin request. The svstat program prints
a one-line status report.

Multilog saves error messages to one or more logs. It optionally
timestamps each line and, for each log, includes or excludes lines
matching specified patterns. It automatically rotates logs to limit
the amount of disk space used. If the disk fills up, it pauses and
tries again, without losing any data.

Dailystrips is a perl script to automatically

Dev Todo is small command line application for
maintaining lists of tasks. It stores tasks
hierarchically, with each task given one of five

Data is stored as XML, so various XSLT templates
can be executed on the XML to convert it into
different formats (eg. HTML).

TODOs per directory:
Data is stored in a file named .todo in the
current directory. Depending on the setting of
backup in your configuration file, there may also
be files named .todo.1, .todo.2, etc.
