https://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/
CheckInstall will run make install (or whatever you tell it to run) and keep track of every file modified by this installation.
When it is done, CheckInstall will create a package and install it as a standard package. It will leave you a copy of the installed package in the source directory for your re-use.
https://rdiff-backup.net/ [ 1 ] was http://www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup/
Combines rsync with diff storage, so one can retrieve a backup from any point in time.
My initial impression was “Works wonderfully well.. very easy to use, very nice. Would be nice to have a GUI tool for recovery purposes though, but oh well.” .. but my 2009-04-01 glance was a flop.

An interface for userspace programs to export a filesystem to the Linux kernel.
Running things under FUSE is sub-optimal. It’s better to run under the kernel directly. However, userland stuff is the only way to achieve certain effects, like everyday user control or to work around licensing issues.
Fuse is not secure! – Noted on https://github.com/libfuse/libfuse. See issue #15

wirble is a set of enhancements for irb.
Wirble enables several items mentioned on the RubyGarden Irb Tips and Tricks page, including tab-completion, history, and a built-in ri command, as well as colorized results and a couple other goodies. The idea, of course, is to fill Irb with useful features without turning your ~/.irbrc file into swiss cheese.

Devil’s Pie is for window matching & acting just like the KDE window actions, except heinously difficult to configure.
You probably want to try wmctrl instead.
