* speed up update-mandb

* fix up ext3grep to work on ext4 filesystems

* Implement handling of [[C99]] [http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Variadic-Macros.html variadic macros] in [http://www.splint.org/ splint] (see [http://www.advogato.org/person/muks/diary.html/start=0 this], [http://www.buzztard.org/index.php/Splint this] and [http://www.splint.org/faq.html#quest18b of course this])

Line 9:

* [[mpd]] ought use filesystem change notification events to trigger database changes, not periodic or manual rescans

* [[valgrind]] is missing some obscure ioctl's, including [[ethtool|ethtool's]]

* canScan

* systemd Restart-with-oneshot fix

* use [[Outcurses]] with usbtop for ncurses mode

* fix bug in usbtop where disappeared devices remain forever

* systemd system-wide service for pulseaudio (requested on freedesktop.org wiki!)

* cuda fft for various SDR

* step-cli -- update debian stuff, make it bizzuild

* ubertooth-dfu without `-d` just exits cleanly, doing nothing

* neat fpga project -- bluetooth 5 (2mbit ble channel) 40x channel sniffer
