 Posted: Mon Mar 14, 2005 9:47 pm Post subject: Good software, could be put in portage? |
 |
|
heres a list of programs that r very good and maybe should be considered to be added to portage:
F-Spot - Photo album management
http://www.gnome.org/projects/f-spot/
GMp3Sort - Sort mp3s on mp3 player (with fat16)
http://www.manno.name/source/wiki/gmp3sort
Tux Commander - Two-Pane Windows-Commander-Like file manager - VERY RECOMMENDED AND STABLE VERSION 5.70
http://tuxcmd.sourceforge.net/
Gmerlin - A Mplayer-clone, seems to be the future mplayer since mplayer is getting shutdown for patent violations.. not many functions but a player and a transcoder
http://gmerlin.sourceforge.net/
OpenVIP - Modular video editing project. Many many modules included (color and hue restrictions, cutting,...)
http://openvip.sourceforge.net/
Lumiere - Xmms-style xine frontend - for people who like small and to-the-point movie players, not high-class good lookings ones
http://www.nongnu.org/lumiere/
LostIRC - a simplier version of XChat (for slower machines or people who want simple)
http://lostirc.sourceforge.net/
XChat-Gnome - a more gnome-based version to xchat, not much difference, maybe a little more features than xchat
http://xchat-gnome.navi.cx/
K-3D - A very powerful (not for 386's) 3d animation studio, i understand that this will take a long time and does not need to be in portage soon
http://k3d.sourceforge.net/new/
Gnome Configurator - Yet another "advanced" gnome configurator (this is pretty stable and well-developed unlike many others)
http://www.krakoa.dk/linux-software.html#COG
DiskSearch - Builds a database of removable media and allows to search files on the media without inserting it
http://disksearch.sourceforge.net/
Qemu-Launcher - Very nice utility i like to use, its a graphical frontend to launch qemu images on x86 machine, many options,etc.
http://emeitner.f2o.org/projects/qemu-launcher/
GtkSysInfo - A program i actually try to updated, it tells various information about hardware and the linux system, very nice program, stable (very!) - perl/gtk written
http://gtksysinfo.sourceforge.net/
I know there are many alternatives to these programs, but gentoo is about choice, and these are the choices.
I understand this is a big list, but try over time to take a look into getting these into portage.
If you need help getting dependcy-links or files i can help you with that.
Please keep me informed!
Thank you!

You have to use bugzilla for such requests. Ideally: write some ebuilds and post them on bugzilla.

K-3D has been in portage for some time, as media-gfx/k3d, including the most recent stable version (0.4.2):
$ ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge k3d

They will probably get faster than if you don't write ebuilds 
In any case, until they get in, if you write ebuilds and then install them you will have these software handled by the portage tools.

| For f-spot, there's an ebuild in bugs.gentoo.org for 0.10, works great renamed to 0.12. |

How about: Perlbox speech program ? It is really nice to have it.

mplayer getting shut down? I think what you see on www.mplayerhq.hu is just a protestation against the European Union's patent legislation plans.

There's a link at the bottom of that page that takes you through to the site. They're just trying to make a point (a perfectly valid one IMHO), but I don't think there is any danger of mplayer going away in the near future. |

I've got a special assigment at my uni (Poznan University of Technology) - prepare and contribute 10 ebuilds. Your wishlist is therefore very helpful for me
I've already managed to contribute (see bugs.gentoo.org):
-disksearch
-gmp3sort
k-3b, f-spot and tux commander are already done. There is something strange about tuxcmd - an ebuild was contributed long time ago but developers decided not to inclue it (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33478). Because it's "binary only, similar to other packages already in Portage...". Strange isn't it? |

I don't quite know what the Kylix thing is but if it's available only as an x86 binary and there are others open source (or with source code available) software similar, then developers might not want to invest effort maintaining this package.
Someone could still maintain a 3rd party ebuild. Supposily portage will eventually support multiple portage tree which should make installation/upgrade of ebuilds from different sources easier.

| Hey this app is GPL'ed and fully open source. It would be just very problematic to install it from sources (consider registering and downloading Open Kylix development suite) and what's more - the end user would gain nothing from it (because there are no processor specific optimalisations). It's not the case of OS idealogy. That's why I'm so suprised. |

Actially it is. In case of Java there are big and vibrant developer community around Java-related projects and major efforts to make future versions of GCJ compatible with free programs written in Java (from both sides of fence: GCJ developers are adding features, free software developers are accepting patches to make software GCJ-compatible when patches are not too scary). Tuxcommander is using proprietary half-abandoned package (last version of Kylix was released more then three years ago, it's not compatible with NPTL and so on - i.e. effectively abandoned) and does not even try to be compatible with free implementation (FPK).
Noone likes to support such a thing - unless you really need it. |
