Pending approval of my application for maintainer-ship, I intent to package the following for contrib (none will make it into slink):
Package: xwatch Depends: libc6, libforms0.86, xlib6g (>= 3.3-5) Suggests: syslogd Description: Xwatch monitors logfiles and displays in an X window. The displayed logs are colour-coded according to severity. Basically, you get to see what's going on _during_ say a break-in, instead of having to check the logfiles after the damage is done. Of course, you need to have the syslog daemons configured right, so that the logfiles are created. Xwatch reads options from its commandline as well as from a app-defaults resource file (example supplied). XWatch requires the XForms libraries to run. Package: xplot Also depends on libforms0.86 Description: XPlot is a simple x-y data plotter for X. It's designed to show one- or twodimensional datasets, either from a file or from a pipe. Sliders on the control panel let you change displayed axes limits and zoom in on any portion of the plot. This is a terrific way to quickly explore x-y datasets. Package: xcolmix Also depends on libforms0.86 Description: Color mixer to quickly to determine RGB values of a colour. You can select colours for both foreground or background using sliders to gradually select RGB values. Furthermore, xcolmix lets you retrieve RGB values from the X system's database of `predefined' colors. I've packaged xwatch already, save to fixing the man page a little for Debian. The others will be very quick to do. All of these packages were written by Karel Kubat, a very productive coder (author of yodl) who unfortunately doesn't code for Linux anymore. I hope that Debian exposure of the packages will allow them to survive, and that perhaps a free toolkit coder will decide to port them (to fltk for example). -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
