XArchive is a GTK+2 front-end for various command line archiving
programs.
The idea is to have a generic front end for archives that uses external
wrappers around the command line archiving tools.

- roll in some patches from ubuntu via freebs:
- parse ~/.cups/lpoptions
- check whether the printer URI starts with http://,
ipp://, or smb:// to test whether its local or not
- do not warn on stderr in case of IPP_NOT_FOUND
- replace IPP_SET_PRINTER_ATTRIBUTES with CUPS_ADD_MODIFY_PRINTER
- fix a mem leak in gnome_cups_request_add_requested_attributes()
- fix PPD retrieval for printers picked up with cups browsing
(still broken, but these patches won't hurt anyway)
The Thunar Media Tags Plugin (thunar-media-tags-plugin) adds special
features for media files to the Thunar File Manager.
Currently, these are:
* a so-called bulk renamer, which allows users to rename multiple
audio files at once, based on their tags (e.g. ID3 or OGG/Vorbis),
* a special media file page for the file properties dialog, which
displays detailed information about quality, length etc.,
* and finally, an audio tag editor which is reachable from both,
renamer and the properties page.

Basically you can use this program to extract files from an ISO,
add files to an ISO, and create bootable ISOs.
It can open both ISO and NRG files but can only save as ISO.

Venician glass blowers. This cairo-based engine is very fast due to
optimization and removal of slow gradients.

* source coordinates correctness
* transformed (FilterNearest) source coordinates correctness
* composite with and without mask (with/without component alpha), with
1x1 repeating Pictures and 10x10 Pictures.
* linear gradients
* repeating sources/masks at POT and non-POT sizes

This is the back-end component for the GNUstep GUI Library. The
implementation of the GNUstep GUI Library is designed in two parts. The
first part is the front-end component which is independent of platform
and display system. This front-end is combined with a back-end
component which handles all of the display system dependent such as
specific calls to the X Window System. This design allows the GNUstep
applications to have the "look and feel" of the underlying display
system without any changes to the application, and the library can be
easily ported to other display systems.
The GNUstep GUI Backend is for platforms using the X-Window System or
Window's Systems. It works via a DPS emulation engine to emulate the
DPS functions required by the front-end system.
The GNUstep gui library is a library of graphical user interface classes
written completely in the Objective-C language; the classes are based
upon the OpenStep specification as release by NeXT Software, Inc. These
classes include graphical objects such as buttons, text fields, popup
lists, browser lists, and windows; there are also many associated
classes for handling events, colors, fonts, pasteboards and images.
The GNUstep Base Library is a library of general-purpose, non-graphical
Objective C objects. For example, it includes classes for strings,
object collections, byte streams, typed coders, invocations,
notifications, notification dispatchers, moments in time, network ports,
remote object messaging support (distributed objects), and event loops.
It provides functionality that aims to implement the non-graphical
portion of the OpenStep standard (the Foundation library).
The makefile package is a simple, powerful and extensible way to write
makefiles for a GNUstep-based project. It allows the user to write a
project without having to deal with the complex issues associated with
configuration, building, installation, and packaging. It also allows
the user to easily create cross-compiled binaries.
GNUstep is a cross-platform, object-oriented framework for desktop
application development. Based on the OpenStep specification originally
created by NeXT (now Apple), GNUstep enables developers to rapidly build
sophisticated software by employing a large library of reusable software
components.
Not connected to the build yet as this is a work in progress and there
might be some glitches.
Now that it's in CVS, hopefully more people will test this.
