CVSsuck is a mirroring tool for CVS repositories. Unlike other tools such as CVSup or rsync, it uses cvs command to access the repository. So, it works well with remote repositories without a special server or shell account. However, it is inefficient because the CVS client/server protocol is not designed for mirroring.
CVSup is a software package for transferring and updating collections of files across a network. It consists of a server called cvsupd and a client called cvsup. CVSup is faster (often by an order of magnitude) and more flexible than traditional network packages such as rdist and sup. In addition, CVSup has special knowledge of RCS files (as used by CVS). Software projects using CVSup to distribute their CVS repositories include FreeBSD, KDE, and (shortly) Postgres.
Super Sparrow enables users to load balance traffic between geographically-separated points of presence by finding the site network-wise closest to clients. This is done by accessing BGP routing information, the information that determines the path that traffic will take on the Internet. It is designed to work in conjunction with Ultra Monkey.
The SE Toolkit is a collection of scripts for performance analysis and system diagnostics. It allows automatic analysis of system health status and gives advice on performance improvement. The scripts are written in SymbEL, an interpreted language focused on reading kernel data. It has been a standard in system performance monitoring for the Solaris platform over the last 10 years.
FIGlet is a program for making large letters out of ordinary text. It prints its input using large characters made up of ordinary screen characters. FIGlet output is generally reminiscent of the sort of "signatures" many people like to put at the end of email and UseNet messages. It is also reminiscent of the output of some banner programs, although it is oriented normally, not sideways.
The Machine Emulator, or tme, provides a general-purpose framework for computer emulation. The goal is to create a large library of modules, each emulating a specific computer chip, bus, board, etc. These modules offer standard interfaces that allow you to connect them together to create a whole machine emulation with a minimum of effort. It is possible to emulate a Sun 2/120 and a 3/150, both with NetBSD, and a SparcStation 2 with NetBSD or SunOS 4.1.4 (aka Solaris 1.1.2).
The XE Toolkit is a multi-platform, network-aware, secure performance monitoring solution for tactical analysis of enterprise computing systems. It uses Java and provides an API in the form of Java jar files that contain the programmatic interfaces needed to craft custom tools. It remains a toolkit, perhaps more complex than the SE Toolkit, but also far more versatile.
GCC for SPARC Systems extends GCC to be able to use the optimizing Sun Code Generator for SPARC systems. The compiler commands are the same as GCC. All of the GCC command-line options are available. Programs compiled with GCC for SPARC Systems follow the same ABI as programs compiled by GCC. You can mix and match objects compiled with GCC for SPARC Systems and objects compiled with GCC.
AvantFAX allows users on any platform to view and send faxes without having to install special software. It also allows administrators to manage users, their permissions, fax lines, fax categories, etc. AvantFAX can be accessed from the local network and remotely via Internet using standard networking equipment.
Faxfrontend is a clean way to print to fax while using a desktop. It provides a GUI interface to print to fax using CUPS to Hylafax. When you print, a box pops up that lets you provide the fax number or find the number to use from the built in address book. It can also run as a standalone application to fax files or just a cover sheet.
The System Data Recorder has a collection part, or the part that handles recording the data from each system, and a reporting side where it permanently stores and generates simple reports and graphs. For some configurations, it can use only the recording part without the reporting side at all. The data recorder consists of many simple utilities developed in Korn and Perl that extract different telemetry from the Solaris kernel statistic module. Some recorders gather their data from various processes directly using OS or third party utilities. There are 5 recorders that should be installed and deployed in any system, and optional recorders needed only in certain cases: CMT and JVM.
WavPack is a completely open audio compression format that provides lossless compression, high-quality lossy compression, and a unique hybrid compression mode. The lossless compression ratio depends on the source material, but generally is between 30% and 70%. The hybrid mode provides all the advantages of lossless compression with an additional feature. Instead of creating a single file, this mode creates both a relatively small, high-quality lossy file that can be used all by itself, and a "correction" file that (when combined with the lossy file) provides full lossless restoration. WavPack employs only well known, public domain techniques in its implementation. Methods and algorithms that have ever been patented are specifically avoided. This ensures that WavPack encoders and decoders will remain open and royalty-free.
