Linux Software Map Entry Template _______________________________________________________________ The LSM is a publically searchable directory of information about each of the software packages available via FTP for the Linux operating system. _______________________________________________________________ Empty Template Copy this to your text editor, fill it in, submit it (with your software package) via ftp to: ftp://ibiblio.org/incoming/Linux Begin4 Title: Version: Entered-date: Description: Keywords: Author: Maintained-by: Primary-site: Alternate-site: Original-site: Platforms: Copying-policy: End _______________________________________________________________ Instructions Any new packages or updates to old entries should be entered in the template above and submittted with your upload to ibiblio.org DO NOT RENAME FIELDS. DO NOT REMOVE THE BEGIN OR END MARKERS. There are no longer any limits on the fields lengths, but please try to be short. Complete as many fields as possible. Mandatory fields: Title, Version, Entered-date, Description, Primary-site. Do not remove the header "Begin4" and the footer "End". These lines are essential for archiving the in LSM project. _______________________________________________________________ Title: Full application name - see: http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/NAMES Version: Version number - see: http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/NAMES Entered-date: Date of when the LSM entry was last modified. Description: Begin with a one line description for the database header.A short description of the package should follow. Keywords: A short list of carefully selected keywords that describe the package. Author: author@email.address (Author's Name) Original author(s) of package. Email address first, followed by name in parenthesis Multiple persons may be given, one per line. Maintained-by: maintainer@email.address (Maintainer's Name). Note this information is essential. Submissions cannot be processed without maintainer information! Primary-site: This should be the final location, not an "incoming" directory. First line lists site and base directory Next is the sizes and names of all files. The size can be left off. Alternate-site: One alternate site may be given. It should not be a site that mirrors the primary site. Original-site: The original package, if this is a port to Linux. Platforms: Note ususual software or hardware that is required. A floppy disk or a C compiler would not be unusual. A Python interpreter or tape drive probably would be. If the requirements are evident from the description, it need not be repeated here.

The intent is to eventually extend it to be a useful system for doing molecular nanotechnology design work. At the moment it's a PDB file viewer and Buckminsterfullerine editor. Keywords: nanotechnology, hydrocarbon, fungimol, molecular dynamics, pdb, pdb viewer, graphics Author: tim@infoscreen.com (Tim Freeman), brenner@eos.ncsu.edu (Donald Brenner) Maintainer: tim@infoscreen.com (Tim Freeman) Primary-site: http://www.infoscreen.com/fungimol 2M fungimol-0.2.2-0.i386.rpm 180K brennermd-0.1.0-0.i386.rpm 1.1M fungimol-0.2.2-0.src.rpm 160K brennermd-0.1.0-0.src.rpm 1.1M fungimol-0.2.2.tgz 168K brennermd-0.1.0.tgz 1K fungimol.lsm Platforms: Built with GNU C++ compiler that supports anonymous namespaces. g++ 2.95.2 definitely works, 2.7.0 might work, prior to 2.7.0 probably won't work. Non-GNU C++ compiler might work too, but I haven't tried it. Also needs X windows, 16 bits-per-pixel or more TrueColor display.
