new packages
i finally got around to applying to become a debian developer. so i
want to announce here my intention to package the following programs:
f77reorder
f77 compiler script calling f2c/gcc. Handles some fortran 77
extensions by calling f77reorder to change the code.
vat
The LBNL audio tool, vat, is a real-time, multi-party, multimedia
application for audio conferencing over the Internet. Vat is based on
the Draft Internet Standard Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP)
developed by the IETF Audio/Video Transport working group. RTP is an
application-level protocol implemented entirely within vat -- you need
no special system enhancements to run RTP. Although vat can be run
point-to-point using standard unicast IP addresses, it is primarily
intended as a multiparty conferencing application. To make use of the
conferencing capabilities, your system must support IP Multicast, and
ideally, your network should be connected to the IP Multicast Backbone
(MBone).
.
Vat provides only the audio portion of a multimedia conference; video,
whiteboard, and session control tools are implemented as separate
applications. Our video tool is called vic and our whiteboard tool wb,
UCL developed the session directory tool sdr Other related
applications include ISI's Multimedia Conference Control, mmcc, the
Xerox PARC Network Video tool, nv and the INRIA Video-conferencing
System, ivs.
xmmix
Xmmix is an audio mixer utility for the X window system using the
Motif graphical user interface. It operates the input and output
mixer section on many PC sound cards.
xrn
X11 USENET news reader, based on rn.
nt
NTE is a shared text editor designed for use on the Mbone. It is not a
word processor (it is not clear that word processing is a useful task
to share) and it is not a whiteboard - if you want a whiteboard, wb
from LBL is a much better whiteboard.
.
Using NTE can be very interactive - unless you lock a block of text,
anyone else in your session can edit that text or delete it. This is
intentional. Many people can (if they wish) edit the same document
simultaneously. Many people can even edit the same block of text
simultaneously, but if more than one person tries to edit the same
line at one time, a conflict will occur, which results in only one of
the changes being preserved.
and some of the packages which need an smotif/dmotif version and don't
have a maintainer yet (xmg, ddd, etc).
all these are already available by anonymous ftp from caliban.lbl.gov
in /pub/debian.
