Hi Rahul, I would really love to see the data analysis framework, ROOT[1] in Fedora. I know the user base is very niche, mostly data analysis in High Energy Physics. But still ... there are many other such popular data analysis tools which build on ROOT, like HippoDraw. Although the design goals for ROOT are very focused on data analysis for High Energy Physics, it implements almost any statistical and analysis technique under the sun making it extremely flexible and versatile. It even implements many visualization and GUI-builder tools, interfaces with scripting languages like Python and provides a very handy interpreter for C++ called CINT. So if anyone wants to, they can very easily use ROOT for other kinds of data analysis. I for example learned from their mailing list, that there are people using ROOT analysing images in astrophysics! And the best thing about all this is, the developers are very active and prompt in fixing bugs and they officially support rpms for Scientific Linux[2]. Apart from this there is a strong user community for support apart from the developers being very active in the user mailing list. It would be nice to add something like this to the educational packages category for Fedora. As for the concerns about being *free*, it is completely open source and uses GPL libraries like GNU Scientific Library and is already available in the Debian repositories[3].

It supports almost any format as its input and can generate a very large host of output files. The goal of the application was to help people be able to create the files they need to be able to play on their mobile devices or for people not hugely experienced with multimedia to generate a multimedia file without having to resort to command line tools with ungainly syntaxes." Why both? Arista is simpler, Transmageddon is more flexible but currently relies on devel version of Gstreamer.

Tor is an onion router. If you go through at least three nodes controlled by different noncooperating entities, than no one knows who you are connecting to. (The destination site may or may not know its you depending on whether you authenticate.) There are caveats with respect to traffic analysis and apps leaking info. And its especially important to note the traffic out of the end node isn't encrypted and if you need that data secret you need to do something (e.g. use ssl connections). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Compatibility packages are generally provided for specific reasons including old packages which depend on them. So distributions would vary on these, depending on which versions of software they ship if they ship it at all in the first place. It is not very useful to request a random old library without explaining what benefit it provides. I am unlikely to be interested in doing this, anyway.

I have no idea what the problem is but it is obviously completed unrelated to the question and unlikely to be solved by adding more software.

It's very easy to install, but adding it to the Fedora repo will help the users to keep up with the updates. I found some discussions about adding it to the repos, but nothing have happened since then (March 2008). It will be nice to see the omnibook module too ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/omke ). The project seems dead and the only usable version is the SVN snapshot, but I think it will help the notebook users who can't compile the module themselves and need built-in support for the specific hardware. For example, without omnibook it's impossible to use your bluetooth on such notebook. And, finally, one game - Simutrans ( http://www.simutrans.com/ ). It's a transportation simulation game. The package won't be very big, even with a few PAKs. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

I use "remind" as a substitute for evolution's appointment mechanism since I gave up on evolution ever working reliably. http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind I use it together with a silly message popup tool I wrote which I'd be perfectly willing to have in the repos as long a I didn't have to do any of the work :-). http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/qtmess.html I also use truecrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/), but I have a feeling someone somewhere would decide there are potential issues with it. Then, of course, there is gdmsetup (which I would use if only it existed :-). -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Hi, I am doing a quick survey for software that you use on a regular basis that is not available via the Fedora repository. Software that you suggest should be free and open source, free of patent and other legal issues. Tell me the home page of the software and give me a brief description on what it does. Bonus points if you can see in Google for "software-name fedora package review" to figure it if it is already in the Fedora package review queue.
