unoconv is a tool that converts between any document format supported by
LibreOffice/OpenOffice.
Example of how to convert an .odt file to .pdf:
unoconv -f pdf some-file.odt
Homepage: http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/unoconv/
Implementation notes:
unoconv must use the same python version as libreoffice (unless it will
not be able to load the pyuno module from libreoffice). And because we
recently switched to libreoffice 4.x, which uses python3, I had to
include unoconv-python3.patch. The patch comes from upstream unoconv.git
repo, so it will be included in the next release.
BaseX is a very fast and light-weight, yet powerful XML database and
XPath/XQuery processor, including support for the latest W3C Full Text
and Update Recommendations. It supports large XML instances and offers a
highly interactive front-end (basexgui). Apart from two local standalone
modes, BaseX offers a client/server architecture.

Implementation notes:
- I'm using the pre-built java package (because it's simple)
- I copied the basex.svg icon file from the Ubuntu package because I
couldn't find it anywhere else. It's 9.3 KiB.
Give dstat access to the "curses" module in the Python standard library
so that it can color its output. This is similar to how other distros
package it (e.g. Fedora, Ubuntu).
Thanks to @phreedom for reporting the broken URL used fetchgit, which
was because I deleted my fork repository. Fortunately, in the meantime
other forks got to a more "working" state and being more actively
maintained than my fork. So that's why I switched using @nemerle's fork
now, as it is the the most usable one out there, at least in our case.
One stupid thing I've done in the first place was to use "1.0pre" as the
version and the fork uses "alpha 0.3.2", so it essentially is some kind
of a "downgrade" if you just look at the version.
Fortunately, peer-unreviewed research based on guesswork has shown that
I'm the only one using Boomerang on NixOS, so this shouldn't have a big
impact on the other non-existent users.
Also, this drops dependencies on boehmgc and cppunit, because building
with either one or both will fail at the moment.

Also leaving 0_8 branch, as it's compatible with older ffmpeg versions.
I'm planning that all expressions will be able to switch easily
between ffmpeg and libav (whatever default we choose, but I prefer libav).
Edited (twice) according to notes on the reverted b003138.
This commit also fixes an issue where pkgconfig was only added as a
dependency when gtk support was enabled. This made ./configure unable
to find other libraries (libtiff, libxml2, gnutls, and others).
The jing expression now creates its own "jing" wrapper script, so there
is no need for jing_tools anymore.
jing hasn't been updated in years, so I assume (or hope) that not many
(if any) have jing_tools in their configuration.nix. If you do, just
change it to jing and it should behave the same.
Duply is a shell front end for the duplicity backup tool
http://duplicity.nongnu.org/. It greatly simplifies it's usage by
implementing backup job profiles, batch commands and more. Who says
secure backups on non-trusted spaces are no child's play?

it helps, but is incomplete.
more fixes are coming, but including these would change too much
generic btrfs code, which might cause trouble for others.
so the best advice is not to use btrfs send yet and wait for 3.11 or 3.12
