Need a tools stick

[402blownstroker]

I think we need a new sticky to help keep track of all the great tools that have been developed. Just to name a few:

ht-retries.sh
smocng.sh
tpc & tear's version
freqcheck.sh

Just $0.02. Currently all these tools are spread out over many different threads.

Sounds like an update to 4P system guide is in order.

First two are covered in first two posts in OCNG thread.

Re TPC: good point. I'm currently committing my changes to TPC repo; TPC drop will have
to be spun by Paolo...

Re freqcheck.sh: it's really very ugly hack that I don't think should be marketed whatsoever

If you think more should be added, contact Tobit , he is the OP of the [H]orde Central Sticky, which is where all of that would belong.

I think freqcheck.sh is a good tool. However, it would be better if we don't need input the nominal frequency manually.

There are a couple of problems with such a list:

1. Installation of most of these is not very straight-forward for new/inexperienced Linux users. Take TPC for example - I have a couple pages to spoon-feed the install here. What are the odds that the majority of even [H] Linux folders would be able to install it without step-by-step instructions? I could probably get close, but i don't think I would get it right with either a guide or pestering tear to death.

2. It takes no time at all for any instructions to get out-of-date, thus it requires constant maintenance for any "how to" thread or post. Newer versions of tools have new links - back to the TPC example, my thread was two versions old this morning when I found it. I think I have convinced tear to always have a *-current.tar.gz link, which will solve the link problem for anything he maintains. It still doesn't help with installation or usage changes - for exaample, the usage of langouste changed significantly enough that my Ubuntu install guide needed quite a bit a tweaking this morning to update how to install it - a huge improvement, but still maintenance.

I don't think that the [H]orde Central thread is the place for such a list. It hasn't been updated in over a year, and the tools in question here a very specific to MP systems or even 4p G34 systems - not something the average folder is going to need.
