to better match other perl5 module packages. This release mirrors the
Xerces-C 1.7.0 releases and implements a DOM API (though that seems to
be broken). Also, several major memory leaks were fixed.

libgcc.a isn't linked "whole archive" into the perl executable on newer
NetBSD systems (>1.5.x). Newer NetBSD systems have libgcc_pic.a linked
into shared libraries, so this hack isn't needed. This change was tested
by building and testing textproc/xerces-p, a C++ perl5 module that uses
functions in libgcc.a.
dvd::rip is a full featured DVD copy program written in Perl. It
provides an easy to use but feature-rich Gtk+ GUI to control almost
all aspects of the ripping and transcoding process. It uses the widely
known video processing swissknife transcode and many other Open Source
tools. dvd::rip itself is licensed under GPL / Perl Artistic License.
"And note: it's spelled dvd::rip, and nothing else."
This package extracts DVD subtitles from a subtitle stream and
converts it to pgm or ppm images or into VobSub format. The main
purpose is to provide the required input to OCR software to convert
the subtitle images into ASCII text. Please note that the conversion
into ASCII is not part of this package but requires an OCR program
like gocr.
GOCR is an optical character recognition program, released under the GNU
General Public License. It reads images in many formats (pnm, pbm, pgm, ppm,
some pcx and tga image files (or PNM from stdin); if PNM-tools installed and
running linux-like system you can also use pnm.gz, pnm.bz2, png, jpg, tiff,
gif, bmp and others) and outputs a text file. You do not have to train the
program or store large font bases. Simply call gocr from the command line
and get your results.
The Gtk module allows Perl access to the Gtk+ graphical user interface
library. You can find more information about Gtk+ on http://www.gtk.org.
The Perl binding tries to follow the C interface as much as possible,
providing at the same time a fully object-oriented interface and
Perl-style calling conventions.
This is the Gtk::Gdk::Pixbuf extention of the Gtk module.
transcode is a text console video-stream processing tool.
It supports elementary video and audio frame transformations.
Some example modules are included to enable import of MPEG-1/2,
Digital Video, and other formats. It also includes export
modules for writing to AVI files with DivX, OpenDivX, XviD,
Digital Video or other codecs. Direct DVD transcoding is also
supported. A set of tools is available to extract and decode
the sources into raw video/audio streams for import and to
enable post-processing of AVI files.
tooLAME is an optimized Mpeg Audio 1/2 Layer 2 encoder. It is based heavily on
- the ISO dist10 code
- improvement to algorithms as part of the LAME project: www.sulaco.org/mp3
- work by Michael Cheng and other contributors (see CONTRIBUTORS)
- Added a "cm truncate" command to truncate an existing branch.
- Added some new consistency checking.
- Bug fixes and speedups.
While here USE_NEW_TEXINFO new framework and refill MESSAGE to 75 columns.
Bug fix release for stable version as well as a few completion
improvements. Also includes more current MASTER_SITES.
