Source code patches by Dechifro
These are patches for software that is either no longer maintained,
or maintained by authors who don't like my patches.
-
Super-patch for John Bradley's
XV image viewer
-
Provides a better Smooth24() function,
prevents segfaults when saving a color-adjusted image in PostScript
format, and adds PNG support, raw photo decoding, non-destructive
deletion, and simulated color-blindness.
-
Byte order patch for the
coreutils
"od" command
-
"od" cannot display multi-byte integers or floats correctly if
they are stored in the opposite byte order of your CPU. With
this patch, "od -I" is little-endian on all CPUs and "od -M"
is big-endian everywhere.
-
Off-by-one patch for the
coreutils
"tail" command
-
"tail -n +3" skips the first two lines of input, and "tail -c +2k"
skips the first 2047 bytes. This patch adds a "-z" option telling
"tail" to skip the exact number of lines or bytes specified.
-
Acceleration patch for the
FlightGear flight simulator
-
Time acceleration makes long simulated flights less tedious.
Without this patch, FlightGear doesn't speed up the clock to
match the accelerated aircraft, causing some instruments to
malfunction, and allowing small planes to outrace the sun.
-
Prefix-matching patch for
StarDict
-
When StarDict 2.4.8 fails to find an exact match, it shows only words
that collate after the search word, missing much closer words
that collate before it. With this patch, StarDict looks for the longest
matching prefix instead.
