Cyclic Gallery

Best Free software for programmers and web authors.

The Cyclic Gallery CD-ROM contains CVS, Aegis, SCCS, tkCVS and cvsweb (user interfaces to CVS), autoconf (software portability tool), and much more.

We have web pages concerning the packages on the CD-ROM:

The Cyclic Gallery packages are also available for free download (linux/windows).

Configuration Management Tools

  • RCS, automake, and libtool would be part of the packaged Cyclic Gallery except they are already included with Red Hat Linux itself (and probably most Linux distributions).
  • RCS - simpler version control tool which operates on one file at a time.
  • Automake/libtool - companions to autoconf.
  • Our contributors from http://deerbe.com/ and http://uhrerbe.com/ are also developing some Tools for PRCS and Aegis in Germany.
  • GNATS is a bug-tracking system with graphical, emacs, command line, and web user interfaces. It also has a client/server protocol so several sites can access a single bug database.
  • Other Configuration Management Tools.

  • GCC compiler for C and C++.
  • FORTRAN compilers.
  • Emacs editor/environment.
