File::Next is an iterator-based module for finding files. It's
lightweight, has no dependencies, runs under taint mode, and puts your
program more directly in control of file selection.
Adds contextual tests that the harness can ignore.
Moose is a Perl module that implements a complete modern object system.
This module allows you to manage a set of deprecations for one or
more modules.
Manipulating stashes (Perl's symbol tables) is occasionally necessary, but
incredibly messy, and easy to get wrong. This module hides all of that
behind a simple API.
Test::Fatal is an alternative to the popular Test::Exception. It does much
less, but should allow greater flexibility in testing exception-throwing
code with about the same amount of typing.
It exports one routine by default: "exception".
At some point or another, most programmers find they need to compare
floating-point numbers for equality. The typical idiom is to test if the
absolute value of the difference of the numbers is within a desired tolerance,
usually called epsilon. This module provides such a function for use with
Test::Harness. Usage is similar to other test functions described in
Test::More.
Test::Requires checks to see if the module can be loaded.
This is an extremely simple, extremely basic module for writing tests
suitable for CPAN modules and other pursuits. If you wish to do more
complicated testing, use the Test::More module (a drop-in replacement for
this one).
This package adds support for common build additions to distutils. This
includes the follwing:
* gettext/i18n
* documentation
* program icons
Paramiko is a module for python 2.2 (or higher) that implements the
SSH2 protocol for secure (encrypted and authenticated) connections to
remote machines.
Unlike SSL (aka TLS), the SSH2 protocol does not require hierarchical
certificates signed by a powerful central authority. you may know SSH2
as the protocol that replaced telnet and rsh for secure access to
remote shells, but the protocol also includes the ability to open
arbitrary channels to remote services across the encrypted tunnel --
this is how sftp works, for example.
It is written entirely in python (no C or platform-dependent code) and
is released under the GNU LGPL (lesser GPL).
A Pure-Python library built as a PDF toolkit. It is capable of:
- extracting document information (title, author, ...),
- splitting documents page by page,
- merging documents page by page,
- cropping pages,
- merging multiple pages into a single page,
- encrypting and decrypting PDF files.
By being Pure-Python, it should run on any Python platform without any
dependencies on external libraries. It can also work entirely on StringIO
objects rather than file streams, allowing for PDF manipulation in memory.
It is therefore a useful tool for websites that manage or manipulate PDFs.
PyYAML is a YAML parser and emitter for the Python programming
language. YAML is a data serialization format designed for human
readability and interaction with scripting languages.
The mission of the Scientific and Technical Information Exchange (STIX) font
creation project is the preparation of a comprehensive set of fonts that serve
the scientific and engineering community in the process from manuscript
creation through final publication, both in electronic and print formats.
This package includes base Unicode fonts containing most glyphs for standard
use.
The Wen Quan Yi bitmap font includes complete CJK Unified
Ideograph (U4E00 - U9FA5) glyphs at four different sizes
(9pt-12X12 pixel, 10pt-13X13 pixel, 11pt-15X15 pixel,
12pt-16x16 pixel) and two weights (medium and bold).
xclip is a command line interface to the X11 clipboard. It can also be used
for copying files, as an alternative to sftp/scp, thus avoiding password
prompts when X11 forwarding has already been setup.
aria2 is a utility for downloading files. It has completely new design
concept from its predecessor, Aria, and is written from scratch. aria2 has
a segmented downloading engine in its core. It can download one file from
multiple URLs or multiple connections from one URL. This results in very
high speed downloading, much faster than ordinary browsers. This engine in
was implemented in a single-thread model. The architecture is clean and easy
to extend.
aria2 currently supports HTTP, FTP, and BitTorrent.
I needed autossh, and I could not find it. So I rebuilded it.
blktrace is a block layer IO tracing mechanism which provides detailed
information about request queue operations up to user space. This is
valuable for diagnosing and fixing performance or application problems
relating to block layer io.
Bonnie is a popular performance benchmark that targets various aspects
of Unix file systems.
Bpython is an enhanced Python interactive interpreter that uses curses
and provides the following main features: in-line syntax highlighting;
readline-like autocompletion with suggestions displayed as you type; expected
argument specification for functions; a handy pastebin function to quickly
submit your code and return a URL. Its goal is to bring together a few handy
ideas to enhance the standard interpreter without getting carried away.
c_count counts lines, statements, and other simple measures of C/C++/Java
source programs. It is not lex/yacc based, and is easily portable to a variety
of systems.
collectd is a small daemon written in C for performance. It reads various
system statistics and updates RRD files, creating them if necessary.
Since the daemon doesn't need to startup every time it wants to update the
files it's very fast and easy on the system. Also, the statistics are very
fine grained since the files are updated every 10 seconds.
Conky is an advanced, highly configurable system monitor for X.
