  Description : Utilities and libraries for starting CloudABI programs

CloudABI is a Unix-like runtime environment that is purely built on the
concept of capability-based security. By using capability-based
security, applications become easier to test and reuse (due to its
similarity to dependency injection). It also makes applications more
secure, as processes only start up with a restricted set of rights.

The cloudabi-utils package provides two things:

1. libcloudabi: Native Linux versions of some of the APIs that are
   normally only available inside of CloudABI. More specifically, it
   provides ports of the functions that you normally call to launch
   CloudABI processes.

2. cloudabi-run: This utility uses libcloudabi to spawn CloudABI
   processes, providing it access to resources specified in a YAML
   configuration file.

Bug#430543: RFP: herrie -- command line music player

[Ed Schouten]

Package: wnpp
Version: N/A; reported 2007-06-25
Severity: wishlist

Herrie is a command line music player with a variety of interesting
features, like support for AudioScrobbler (Last.fm) and the ability to
chroot itself in a directory with music. Herrie's playlist can be
configured to behave in two different ways:

- The default mode is the so called `party mode' which is suited for
  parties and such where you place tracks in a queue which gets consumed
  by the application (you add tracks to the bottom and Herrie removes
  tracks from the top).
- The `XMMS mode' is modeled after the playlist of XMMS where you add
  tracks to a playlist, which can be started at an arbitrary point.

Herrie's website is http://herrie.info/. A really outdated Debian
package (for Herrie 1.3) can be found here:
