A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden
Jeroen van den Berg <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License:
Package: FreeLCD
System name: flcd
Type: GNU
Description:
FreeLCD is a collection of applications for displaying information on an LCD or
VFD. It supports graphical and character-oriented displays, and most of the
common widths and heights.
Data and layout information is provided by clients, in a device-independent
format. The server tries to render this as good as possible to the connected
device. Information is scheduled for display according to rate of change
(dynamic content is shown more often) and importance (alerts show more and
longer).
Possible uses:
- Server stats (cpu load, users, uptime, up/download, temperature)
- Alerts (new email, buddy online, build finished)
- Information from online sources (news headlines, dynamic TV guide)
Planned features:
- Unicode
- Good l10n support
- Truetype text rendering to graphical displays
- Support for more than one connected device
A very pre-alpha version can be downloaded here:
http://hippie.nu/~unicorn/freelcd-0.1.0.tar.gz
Other Software Required:
ncurses (GPL)
expat (MIT)
freetype (GPL)
