Software - Linux

This site is a copy of my old website, www.youmustbejoking.demon.co.uk, retained for historical raisins.

Binaries are compiled for i386 or amd64.

If you're using att.tartarus.org for this, you need to edit your sources.list - remove the 'att.'.

If you're looking for RPMs, you won't find any here. If you're looking for VDR RPMs, there's an RPM repository for FC3 which may be of use (some of its content is based on my packages).

There is also an HTML version of the package list.

 i386 packages for Debian GNU/Linux "sid" (unstable)

deb http://tartarus.org/~ds/debian sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://tartarus.org/~ds/debian sid main contrib non-free

If you were using distribution "amd64", you should switch; it is deprecated, and will become obsolete when etch is released.

If you've just added this repository to your list or you see apt complaining about a missing public key, you probably need this key for validation purposes. To add it to apt's keyring:

    Linux DVB kernel patches C updated 2006-6-14

Download 20060614 (local) (signature)
Older versions: 20060519 (local) (signature) 20060427 (local) (signature) 20060401 (local) (signature) 20060208 (local) (signature) 20060206 (local) (signature) 20060129 (local) (signature)

This patchset does various things to the V4L/DVB IR code. It modifies the way in which keymaps are handled, fixes up a few things for cards which need the cx88 driver, and provides a more sensible keymap for the remote control for the older version of the Hauppauge Nova-T PCI (budget-ci + tda1004x). The budget-ci IR handling is substantially rewritten and allows for a faster repeat rate.

As of 2006-11-22, modified and improved versions of the budget-ci patches are present in the LinuxTV v4l-dvb repository.

These patches require that you rebuild either your whole kernel or the DVB modules. If you break out in uncontrollable cold sweat at the thought of that, don't do it.

    Chic Tech. Corp. Browser Mouse support patch C new 2006-5-14

Download 2.6.16, 2.6.17 (local) (signature)

This patch provides support for horizontal scrolling and the task button on Chic Technology Corp. Browser Mice when connected to a USB port. Without this patch, the extra three functions appear to user programs as pairs of standard (ExplorerPS/2) buttons and there is no auto-repeat for the extra wheel functions. (The patch also provides a framework for supporting other USB mice with this kind of quirk.)

One such mouse is the Advent 5-button wireless rechargeable mouse (described on the mouse itself as "4-way navigation mouse"); there is another listed at the Linux USB devices site.

This patch require that you rebuild either your whole kernel or the usbhid module. If you break out in uncontrollable cold sweat at the thought of that, don't do it.

  gtk-icon-theme-list C new 2006-8-6

0.1.1 (local) (signature)

This program displays a popup menu of themed icons. Click on one and its name is displayed; you can put it on the X clipboard by piping output into xclip, e.g. you might create a shortcut which causes
sh -c 'gtk-icon-theme-list | xclip -selection clipboard'
or something similar to be executed.

  mimedecode C updated 2002-12-31

1.10 (local) (signature)

mimedecode decodes transfer-encoded text parts of MIME messages. It reads a single message on stdin and writes to stdout, and as such is useable as a filter. It is assumed that the message has been delivered and, as such, 8-bit text types can be handled natively.

Version 1.9 is in Debian.

    cdrtools patch new 2004-6-4

Download for 2.01a30 (local) (signature)

This patch adds to mkisofs support for Acorn NFS-created filename comma extensions for both typed and untyped files and the load and exec address storage method for the latter.

Those of you who are using Debian stable, testing or unstable may do something similar to the following:

$ apt-get source mkisofs
$ cd cdrtools-2.0+a30.pre1
$ sudo apt-get build-dep mkisofs
$ cp -a ../cdrtools.patch debian/patches/99_acorn.dpatch
$ echo 99_acorn >>debian/patches/00list
$ debuild binary
$ sudo dpkg -i ../mkisofs_2.0+a30.pre1-1_i386.deb
