Dynebolic Wishlist

This is a Dynebolic wishlist. If you want something added to Dynebolic, you can add it here. Please only add software that is free (as in speech).

Please say who you are that wants it, and why (say something about it)

See also the DyneBolicSoftwareList

Features

  • ltsp, so only one server with dynebolic and all other clients can boot directly into x without needing expesive hardware. can make lots of 386/486 be usefull again.
  • What about if I could install a new application on my hard-disk and then burn a new Dynebolic Bootable CD including it?
  • Docking
    • A simple script for an HD installation ( knoppix like )
  • Xfree
  • kernel 2.6
    • Necessary kernel extensions "squashfs" and "OpenMosix" are not available for kernel versions above 2.4.22. -martin

  • Drivers (hardware support) for:

Applications

protocols popular in Poland (but not only). [http://gadu.gnu.pl/index.php?lang=en&page=news]

Only useful when JACK is available

  • Ardour, hard disc recorder [http://ardour.sf.net/]

  • Creox, a real time sound processor, [http://www.uid0.sk/zyzstar/?creox], it's really nice as a guitar effector, and is easier to use than for instance jack-rack.

  • SuperCollider, real time audio programming language [http://supercollider.sf.net/]

    • This is still in cvs, but already quite usable, GNU/Linux version will probably be in cvs for a long long while, so it would be kewl to include it anyway, oh and there's already a Debian package somewhere. Including it will be a great way to attract hurds of enthusiastic Mac OS X musicians :)

Dynebolic Unwishlist

What do you think should be removed from dynebolic, and why?

Features

Fluxbox

Fluxbox and Windowmaker seem to give almost exactly the same functionality. They seem as bad as each other to me, :) and having two systems to do the same thing increases complexity, and doubles the work in maintaining the menus etc etc. (which, in practice, is not done: in d:b 1.1.1, the flux box menu is months out of date and does not reflect reality.) -martin

Applications

Lives video editor

LiVES decodes each frame into a single JPEG file in /tmp. 3 hours of Lord of the Rings at 25 frames per second is a LOT of files, never mind the disk space. LiVES is unusable as a direct result of this. Another video editor (cinelerra) just moves up and down the file and seems to have little problem with even the largest file. This is the right approach. -martin, quoting jimbo

* possibility to change window size of "GNU screen" windows (with + and - keys)
