desktop-tools
=============
:compact-option:

'desktop-tools' is a collection of tools to run my desktop that might be useful
to other people as well:

 - 'dwmstatus' does literally everything my dwm doesn't but I'd like it to. It
   includes PulseAudio volume management and hand-written NUT and MPD clients,
   all in the name of liberation from GPL-licensed software of course.
 - 'brightness' allows me to change the brightness of w/e display device I have.
 - 'fancontrol-ng' is a clone of fancontrol that can handle errors on resume
   from suspend instead of setting fans to maximum speed and quitting;
   in general it doesn't handle everything the original does
 - 'shellify' is a simple script that sets up a shell for commands like vgdb
   and nmcli that are painfully lacking it
 - 'gdm-switch-user' tells the running GDM daemon, if any, to show the switch
   user screen
 - 'siprandom' uses the SipHash 2-4 algorithm to produce a stream of
   pseudo-random data; it should be fast enough to saturate most devices

Don't expect them to work under any OS that isn't Linux.

Packages
--------
Regular releases are sporadic.  git master should be stable enough.  You can get
a package with the latest development version from Archlinux's AUR, or from
openSUSE Build Service for the rest of mainstream distributions.  Consult the
list of repositories and their respective links at:

https://build.opensuse.org/project/repositories/home:pjanouch:git

Building
--------
Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, liberty (included) +
Runtime dependencies: libpulse, libx11, libgdm (optional)

 $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/pjanouch/desktop-tools.git
 $ mkdir desktop-tools/build
 $ cd desktop-tools/build
 $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
 $ make

To install the applications, you can do either the usual:

 # make install

Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you.  For Debian it is:

 $ cpack -G DEB
 # dpkg -i desktop-tools-*.deb
