| = 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 (which, in practice, is not done: in d:b 1.1.1, the flux box menu is months out of date and does not reflect reality.)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 * Maybe xpde can take over one of them? Many Gnubies would feel at home instantly :) http://xpde.com/ * I think that qvwm+xfm [http://www.qvwm.org/] it's much better... == 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) |
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
- ALSA 1.0.8, for better sound module support (specifically the Motif R and a number of USB keyboards)
- something similar to ltsp, easy configuration of remote X server-terminals architecture
- What about if I could install a new application on my hard-disk and then burn a new Dynebolic Bootable CD including it?
- that can probably be UnionFS, help is welcome to set that up -jrml
- kernel 2.6 in dyne:II
Necessary kernel patch "OpenMosix" is not available for kernel versions above 2.4.x -martin
- The FATX driver for Linux 2.6 is broken: serious Linux distributions for XBoxes must still use the 2.4 kernel. When they come out with Dynebolic 2, we'll lose XBox support for FATX formatted partitions (if the XBox has cromwell instead, you could wipe the drive clean and format it all as an ext3 filesystem).
- Drivers (hardware support) for:
WebCam Go (Creative Labs). Driver: [http://go.lamarinapunto.com/modules/news/ w9968cf] -axeloide
- Wacom Graphire II tablet mouse - I can't use dynebolic at all as I only have the tablet: X-Evian includes support for this already so I suspect drivers are easilyavailable.
- updates to X will support this.

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
