This package provides a handy command to help you recover from Vim recovery files. Vim makes .swp files as you edit your files so that if an edit session crashes you can recover the latest changes you haven't saved. Unfortunately though, there's no easy way to compare a saved file with the recovery file, so if a session does crash you are often left with many .swp files that you have to save under new names one by one and compare to the original files. vimrecover searches for swap files in the current directory, converts them to files that can be compared to the original files, lets you compare them with meld, deletes them if they are the same as the original files and generally helps you clean up the mess. vimrecover is an interactive command-line program.

* Vincenty wrote an algorithm for calculating the bearing and distance between two coordinates on the earth and an algorithm for finding a second coordinate, given a starting coordinate, bearing and destination. The algorithms model the earth as an ellipsoid, using the WGS-84 model. This is the common GPS model for mapping to latitudes and longitudes. This is a Ruby implementation of Vincenty's algorithms, and the Vincenty class includes two methods for modeling the earth as a sphere. These were added as a reference for testing the Vincenty algorithm, but could be used on their own. The package also makes use of several other classes that may be useful in their own Right. These include class Angle, class Latitude (subclass of Angle), class Longitude (subclass of Angle), class TrackAndBearing and class coordinate (which class Vincenty is a subclass) Angle requires extensions to Numeric and String to provide to_radians (to_r) and to_degrees (to_d). String also includes a to_decimal_degrees(), which converts most string forms of Latitude and Longitude to decimal form. These extensions are included in the package in core_extensions.rb. Float has also been extended to change round to have an optional argument specifying the number of decimal places to round to. This is fully compatible with the Float.round, as the default is to round to 0 decimal places. * The Vincenty code is based on the wikipedia presentation of the Vincenty algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincenty%27s_formulae . * The algorithm was modified to include changes I found at http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong-vincenty-direct.html. * I also altered the formulae to correctly return the bearing for angles greater than 180. * Vincenty's original publication ** T Vincenty, "Direct and Inverse Solutions of Geodesics on the Ellipsoid with application of nested equations", Survey Review, vol XXII no 176, 1975 http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/PUBS_LIB/inverse.pdf

Daemon Kit tasks for Vlad the Deployer.

Vlad deployment recipes used on João Paulo II Foundation.

A few simple functions to ease provisioning FreeBSD systems.

Mercurial support for Vlad. Using it is as simple as passing <tt>:scm => :mercurial</tt> to Vlad when loading it up.

Merb support for Vlad. Prior to 2.0.0, Vlad included support to make vlad:start and vlad:stop work with Merb; this plugin adds Merb support back in, and makes it a bit more robust.

Vlad plugin providing perforce support. This was previously available in vlad but all extra modules outside of the core recipe have been removed.

Adds support to Vlad for pushing files to a remote server without SCM.

A Vlad plugin for controlling Rainbows.

Adds support to Vlad for checking app and web server status.

A series of packages to help using Vlad to manage &quot;enterprise&quot; environments, includes host OS discovery and test-based per host variable settings, targeting of environments and sub-environments, mysql and xen management tasks. Currently consists of the following: * Vlad the Translator * Vlad the Environmentalist * Vlad the DBA * Vlad the Xen Master == FEATURES/PROBLEMS: * Management of heterogenious enironments, dynamic discovery and flexible handling of remote host types. * Support of multiple environments and subenvironments, multiple projects withing an environemnt

Used to control the Gentoo 'emerge' package manager * Gem. Used to control the automated installation of Gems. Look at the rdoc for each module for a full run down of the features

A small library for yes/no voting on ActiveRecord models.

Helps calculate the next run for schedulers using a human readable syntax.

Simple solution to the sleep( ) test anti-pattern. Blocks execution until a supplied block returns true, or a specified time interval is reached, at which point an error is raised.

Means for waiting till a condition has been met or until a timeout reached.
