New Ports of the Week #3 (January 19)

There are 16 new ports for the week of January 13 to January 19:

devel/py-sip, emulators/dynagen, emulators/dynamips, emulators/gns3, emulators/kqemu, games/atomix, games/micropolis, games/mnemosyne, misc/p5-Finance-IIF, sysutils/libgksu, sysutils/libgksuui, sysutils/p5-Filesys-Df, www/py-quixote, www/twill, x11/py-qt3, x11/py-qt4

Ports are listed in the order they were committed to the tree:

• misc/p5-Finance-IIF
  • Finance::IIF is a module for working with IIF files for QuickBooks in Perl. This module reads IIF data records from a file passing each successive record to the caller for processing.
• devel/py-sip
  • SIP is a tool for automatically generating Python bindings for C and C++ libraries.
    SIP comprises a code generator and a Python module. The code generator processes a set of specification files and generates C or C++ code which is then compiled to create the bindings extension module. The SIP Python module provides support functions to the automatically generated code.
• games/atomix
  • Atomix is a little mind game where you have to build molecules out of single atoms. These are laying around between the walls and obstacles on the playfield. Once you have pushed an atom in one direction it moves until it hits an obstacle or another atom. It needs some thinking how to construct complex molecules with this atom behaviour. The game is inspired by the original Amiga version.
• sysutils/p5-Filesys-Df
  • Filesys::Df is a module that provides a way to obtain filesystem disk space information.
• www/py-quixote
  • Quixote is a framework for developing Web applications in Python. Quixote is based on a simple, flexible design, making it possible to write applications quickly and to benefit from the wide range of available third-party Python modules. Deployed appropriately, Quixote has excellent performance that allows you to put Quixote-based applications into large-scale production use.
• www/twill
  • twill is a simple language that allows users to browse the web from a command-line interface. With twill, you can navigate through web sites that use forms, cookies, and most standard web features. twill supports automated web testing and has a simple Python interface.
• x11/py-qt4
  • PyQt v4 is a set of python bindings for Qt4.
• x11/py-qt3
  • PyQt v3 is a set of python bindings for Qt3.
• games/mnemosyne
  • The Mnemosyne Project has two aspects:
    • It's a sophisticated free flash-card tool which optimises your learning process.
    • It's a research project into the nature of long-term memory.
    The Mnemosyne software resembles a traditional flash-card program to help you memorise question/answer pairs, but with an important twist: it uses a sophisticated algorithm to schedule the best time for a card to come up for review. Difficult cards that you tend to forget quickly will be scheduled more often, while Mnemosyne won't waste your time on things you remember well.
• sysutils/libgksuui
  • The libgksuui library comes from the gksu program. It provides a Gtk+ dialog and X authentication facilities for running programs as root or another user in a X session.
• sysutils/libgksu
  • The libgksu library comes from the gksu program. It provides a simple API to use su and sudo in programs that need to execute tasks as other user. It provides X authentication facilities for running programs in a X session.
• games/micropolis
  • Micropolis, Unix Version, (A.K.A. "S*mC*ty"). This game was released for the Unix platform in or about 1990 and has been modified for inclusion in the One Laptop Per Child program.

• emulators/dynamips
  • Dynamips emulates various MIPS64 and PowerPC-based processors and other hardware found in Cisco routers, including many NM/PA modules e.g. Ethernet, fast Ethernet, serial, ATM, switch.
    
    It is able to boot a large number of Cisco IOS releases (not included) for the 7200, 3600, 3700 and 2600 platforms.
• emulators/dynagen
  • Dynagen is a text-based front-end, using an INI-like configuration file to provision Dynamips emulator networks.
    
    It takes care of specifying the right port adapters, generating and matching up NIO descriptors, specifying bridges, frame-relay, ATM switches, etc.
    
    It also provides a management CLI for listing devices, suspending and reloading instances, determining and managing idle-pc values, etc.
• emulators/gns3
  • GNS3 is a graphical network simulator that allows you to design complex network topologies and to launch simulations on them.
    It is an excellent complementary tool to real labs for administrators of Cisco networks or people wanting to pass their CCNA, CCNP, CCIP or CCIE certifications. It can also be used to experiment features of Cisco IOS or to check configurations that need to be deployed later on real routers.
    It is strongly linked to Dynamips and Dynagen.
• emulators/kqemu
  • The QEMU Accelerator (KQEMU) is a driver allowing a user application to run x86 code in a Virtual Machine (VM). The code can be either user or kernel code, in 64, 32 or 16 bit protected mode. KQEMU is very similar in essence to the VM86 Linux syscall call, but it adds some new concepts to improve memory handling.
    
    KQEMU is ported on many host OSes (currently Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, Solaris). It can execute code from many guest OSes (e.g. Linux, Windows 2000/XP) even if the host CPU does not support hardware virtualization.
