SCons
A software construction tool
SCons is a software construction tool that is a superior alternative to the classic "Make" build tool that we all know and love. SCons is implemented as a Python script and set of modules, and SCons "configuration files" are actually executed as Python scripts. This gives SCons many powerful capabilities not found in other software build tools. We make SCons available in three distinct packages, for different purposes. - The scons package is the basic package to install SCons. You don't need any other package if you just want to try out SCons. - The scons-local package executes as a SCons standalone, out of a local directory. It's intended to be dropped in to and shipped with packages of other software for builds with SCons but not as a required install. - The scons-src package is the complete source tree, including everything we use to package SCons and all of the regression tests. -

MSBuild
The Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild) build platform for .NET and VS
The Microsoft Build Engine is a platform for building applications. This engine, which is also known as MSBuild, provides an XML schema for a project file that controls how the build platform processes and builds software. Visual Studio uses MSBuild, but MSBuild doesn't depend on Visual Studio. By invoking msbuild.exe on your project or solution file, you can orchestrate and build products in environments where Visual Studio isn't installed. Visual Studio uses MSBuild to load and build managed projects. The project files in Visual Studio (.csproj, .vbproj, .vcxproj, and others) contain MSBuild XML code that executes when you build a project by using the IDE. Visual Studio projects import all the necessary settings and build processes to do typical development work, but you can extend or modify them from within Visual Studio or by using an XML editor. Starting with Visual Studio 2022, when you build in Visual Studio, the 64-bit version of MSBuild is used. -

MTProxy
Simple MT-Proto proxy
MTProxy is Telegram’s official MTProto proxy server implementation that enables users to create and run proxy nodes for the Telegram messaging platform, helping people connect securely and reliably when direct access to Telegram is restricted or blocked. It implements the MTProto proxy protocol, which obfuscates encrypted Telegram traffic so it appears indistinguishable from normal HTTPS/TLS flows, making it harder for ISPs or authorities to detect and block Telegram traffic based on signatures. The repository includes C source code, build instructions, and configuration files for compiling and running the proxy on Unix-like systems, with dependencies including OpenSSL and zlib. By launching an MTProxy instance with a secret and configuration file, system administrators can allow clients to connect through custom proxies and generate shareable proxy links for Telegram clients. -

nsisbi
NSISBI aims to remove the current 2GB limit found in NSIS.
NSISBI aims to remove the current 2GB limit found in NSIS. This version adds support for using a separate file for storing the install data, therefore allowing installer sizes up to a theoretical max size of 8EB (this is controlled by NSIS_CONFIG_EXTERNAL_FILE_SUPPORT, this is turned on by default). On versions before 7069-1, the compiler (makensis) is designed to run on 64 bit machines as this is the feature needed to make installers bigger than 2GB. On versions before 7208-1, source files added to the installer are limited to 2GB per file (this is controlled by NSIS_CONFIG_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT, this is turned on by default). This project is the result of several different experiments focused on relieving the 2GB limit in NSIS, so it's still a work in progress. I'll try to keep it up to date with each major NSIS release. -
