Adam Luter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> described the package as follows: License: gpl Other License: Package: Ruffle - Ruby-base Music Shuffle Player System name: ruffle Type: non-GNU Description: http://c3.ath.cx/~gryn/ruffle/ruffle-0.4.0.tar.bz2 Ruffle is a Ruby/Ncurses based music player. It is fully functional and learns the user's preferences for good and bad songs automatically (determined by skip/not-skip for each song play). However Ruffle is released dead (as far as the only developer [me], is concerned), because on my small 400mhz Celeron it is too much of a CPU and memory hog. Also the Ruby language does not have real threads so it is easy for Ruffle to skip even though it is "multi-threaded". Ruffle is replaced by Squash a C-based version. Ruffle does contain a nice windowing engine and good example code for ! people looking to try this sort of project on their own. Other Software Required: Ruffle depends on several ruby libraries. These are included in the tar ball because they are small and the site they came from is in Japanese and hard to read (unless you know Japanese). Other Comments: I plan on releasing Squash now too. Squash has all the functionality that ruffle has but much smaller footprint. Also it has a niffty text-based spectrum analyser! Squash will (hopefully soon) also allow you to tweak the playlist, instead of just being on automatic pilot all the time. _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Savannah-hackers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/savannah-hackers
