Unofficial additions to Void Linux.
The project contains work that aims to enhance Void Linux with - among others - a more capable init system/service manager and more third-party package building templates.

The project https://github.com/awesomebytes/ros_overlay_on_gentoo_prefix compiles using continous integration the latest version of ROS for Gentoo Prefix. This generates a number of open source binary packages to be distributed.

Dikt is a dictionary application that implements the Dict protocol.

Dikt is a network application, which looks up words on Dict servers, and to use it, it is not necessary to install any dictionary files.

Dikt user interface is very similar to web browsers, it should be easy to use for anyone familiar with the Web and Internet.

VPP is a high-level C++ rendering and GPU computation API based on Vulkan.

Vulkan is the new API for 3D graphics rendering and GPU computation developed by Khronos Group.

VPP adds high-level, object-oriented C++ interface over Vulkan. The goal is to make Vulkan programming easier and more intuitive.

VPP provides the following features:

- Intuitive, object-oriented abstractions over Vulkan concepts: devices, queues, render passes, pipelines, shader resources, synchronization objects and others.

- Isolation from the C-style interface of Vulkan.

- Easy, conceptual design of render passes and pipelines.

- Unique ability to write all shader code directly in C++ (as class methods), without any need to use GLSL or other intermediate language. No separate compiler passes required. Any C++ 14 compliant compiler should work. No compiler extensions required. No hardware vendor or OS dependencies. All types of shaders supported.

- C++ shaders are automatically integrated into a pipeline and can access shader resources in straghtforward, object-oriented manner. Bindings and locations are automatically generated. Entire Vulkan shader interface is supported. Shaders may easily access: vertex inputs, uniform buffers, all kinds of image resources, attachments, push constants, builtin variables, inter-shader communication variables.

- C++ shaders can be subject to advanced C++ programming and design techniques: parametrization, templating, macros, modularization, OO design.

- Support for multithreading and automatic host synchronization of objects where Vulkan requires it.

- Compile-time detection of some Vulkan usage errors.

- Integration with third party libraries (currently GLM).

Current project status: pre-beta. All core features implemented. However, currently tested only on Windows/Visual Studio platform (CL and clang compilers). Other compilers and Linux / Android platform support in plans.

Please note: we have decided to move the repositories over to github. Please see https://github.com/apes-suite.

APES is a simulation suite for highly resolved physical simulations (mainly fluid dynamics) on massively parallel computing systems. It is based on octree meshes and their partitioning with a space-filling curve for distributed execution with the Message Passing Interface (MPI).

The suite covers all necessary tools from mesh generation (seeder) to post-processing (harvesting) and includes a Discontinuous Galerkin (ateles) and a Lattice-Boltzmann (musubi) solver within in this infrastructure. APES is available as open-source but there are various open-source licenses involved for different parts of the code. A large fraction is released under the terms of the ISC license.

The APES solvers have shown good scalability on hundreds of thousands of cores and runs on a wide range of different architectures from IBMs BlueGene to NEC SX vector systems.

The core library treelm is released under the two-clause BSD-license. The Aotus library, which is used for the user interface of the tools in the APES suite is released under the terms of the MIT license, and third party code included for convenience includes: GPL for coco, which is small program used for preprocessing the Fortran source code, BSD for waf that is used as a build tool, a modified BSD for extractions of LAPACK code, a custom license by Reiji Suda for FXTPACK, which states the following:

Anyone can use FXTPACK in any software, and anyone can modify the
source files.

When you publish your software that uses FXTPACK or its modification,
please mention that FXTPACK developed by Reiji Suda is used, in the
documentation.

When you publish your paper of your research that uses FXTPACK,
please refer the paper [R. Suda, M. Takami, "A Fast Spherical Harmonics
Transform Algorithm", Math. Comp., 71-238, Apr. 2002, pp.703--715]
(and [R. SUda, "Fast Spherical Harmonic Transform Algorithm based on·
Generalized Fast Multiple Method", RIMS Kokyuroku vol 1606,
pp. 18-29, Jun. 2008, RIMS, Kyoto University]).

FXTPACK is only used as an optional feature in polynomial handling for the discontinuous Galerkin solver, another alternative is offered by the FFTW, but that library is not included in the source distribution.
