Homebrew installs the stuff you need that Apple (or your Linux system) didn’t. Homebrew installs packages to their own directory and then symlinks their files into /usr/local. Homebrew won’t install files outside its prefix and you can place a Homebrew installation wherever you like. Trivially create your own Homebrew packages. It’s all Git and Ruby underneath, so hack away with the knowledge that you can easily revert your modifications and merge upstream updates. Homebrew formulae are simple Ruby scripts. Homebrew complements macOS (or your Linux system). Install your RubyGems with gem and their dependencies with brew. Homebrew Cask installs macOS apps, fonts and plugins and other non-open source software. Making a cask is as simple as creating a formula.

RDI is a library that gives your application the ability to install its dependencies at runtime. Perfect for plugins oriented architectures. Many kind of deps: RPMs, DEBs, .so, .dll, RubyGems... Easily extensible to new kinds.

Ruby text-based router search designed to query Cisco 72xx and 10k Routers for Cable modem and CPE information. It is designed to work both on UNIX and NT enviroments. Requirement is the Ruby language interpreter.

RubyGems is a system used to package other Ruby libraries into single, self-contained files that also contain metadata about the library, such as name, category, dependencies, etc.

TSC Package Manager is a mutli-platform generic Ruby based package preparation and installation facility. Sub-packages are self-extracting well-compressed files that may be installed, removed, updated or patched. Well suited for non-root installations. Moved to: https://github.com/tsc-collection/tsc-tpm Now part of GitHub's TSC Collection available at https://github.com/tsc-collection

Tar2RubyScript transforms a directory, containing your application into one single Ruby script, along with some code to handle this archive. When this script is run, it extracts the archive and runs the application.

rubynet is the backend for a distributed module and documentation project for the Ruby programming language.

Elaborate Visual Studio .vcxproj / .vcproj projects to CMakeLists.txt converter, enabling Makefile or Ninja or IDE builds, i.e. full multi-platform CMake functionality (Linux, Mac, Windows...). Live Update capability: supports side-by-side tracking of evolving original proj files, within build tree!! Script hooks for static CMake defs, powerful definition-to-variable mapping. Access to project data content is via git repository _only_ (it's a developer infrastructure project, thus alternatives are less suitable). Be aware of several branches available for checkout (git branch -a): "experimental_unverified" is for the daring (to start with current most featureful code), while usability of "experimental" always gets hardened via a large build. For instructions see README.txt - for ad-hoc access see Browse Code button (experimental_unverified head) -, then attempt guided installation on a .vc[x]proj-based source tree, via install_me_fully_guided.rb . Devel cooperation welcome!!
