GNU Accounting Utilities is a set of utilities which reports and summarizes data about user connect times and process execution statistics.

"Login accounting" provides summaries of system resource usage based on connect time, and "process accounting" provides summaries based on the commands executed on the system.

The 'last' command is provided by the sysvinit package and not included here.

Modern computers support the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) to allow intelligent power management on your system and to query battery and configuration status.

ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for delivering ACPI events. It listens on a file (/proc/acpi/event) and when an event occurs, executes programs to handle the event. The programs it executes are configured through a set of configuration files, which can be dropped into place by packages or by the admin.

adns is a resolver library for C (and C++) programs. In contrast with the existing interfaces, gethostbyname et al and libresolv, it can be used in an asynchronous, non-blocking manner. Many queries can be handled simultaneously.

Includes useful test tools and utilities for IP address resolving in logfiles.

aircrack-ng is an 802.11a/b/g WEP/WPA cracking program that can recover a 40-bit, 104-bit, 256-bit or 512-bit WEP key once enough encrypted packets have been gathered. Also it can attack WPA1/2 networks with some advanced methods or simply by brute force.

It implements the standard FMS attack along with some optimizations, thus making the attack much faster compared to other WEP cracking tools. It can also fully use a multiprocessor system to its full power in order to speed up the cracking process.

aircrack-ng is a fork of aircrack, as that project has been stopped by the upstream maintainer.

Alien allows you to convert LSB, Red Hat, Stampede and Slackware Packages into Debian packages, which can be installed with dpkg.

It can also generate packages of any of the other formats.

This is a tool only suitable for binary packages.

This package contains various configuration files for the ALSA drivers.

For ALSA to work on a system with a given sound card, there must be an ALSA driver for that card in the kernel. Linux 2.6 as shipped in linux-image packages contains ALSA drivers for all supported sound cards in the form of loadable modules. A custom alsa-modules package can be built from the sources in the alsa-source package using the m-a utility (included in the module-assistant package). Please read the README.Debian file for more information about loading and building modules.

ALSA is the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.

This package contains ALSA driver modules for kernel 2.6.28.7-venenux-libre.

If kernel version 2.6.28.7-venenux-libre is running when this package is installed then applications using ALSA sound drivers will be forcibly stopped and any loaded ALSA sound drivers will be reloaded. Consequently it is a good idea to exit sound related applications before installing this package.

Please note that ALSA driver modules are included in kernel-image packages of version 2.6 or higher. Therefore, you do not need to install an alsa-modules package if you are running a 2.6 kernel. You may still want to install an alsa-modules package for a 2.6 kernel because the drivers in alsa-modules packages are usually more current than those in kernel-image packages. In any case, if you do install an alsa-modules package then the module loader will prefer its modules over those from the kernel-image package.

ALSA is the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.

This package contains a program loader, aoss, which wraps applications written for OSS in a compatibility library, thus allowing them to work with ALSA.

There are two ways of getting an application to work with ALSA if the application was written for OSS. The first way is to load the special ALSA drivers that emulate the OSS kernel interface; these allow the application to open /dev/dsp0 and other OSS device files. The second way is to wrap the application in the libaoss library provided in this package; the wrapper causes the application to access native ALSA device files such as /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c instead of OSS device files.

Use of the alsa-oss library is recommended over the use of OSS-emulation drivers if you want to use ALSA's PCM plugin layer.

ALSA is the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture:
http://alsa.sourceforge.net OSS is the free version of the Open Sound System.

This package contains utilities for configuring and using ALSA, including:
o amixer: command line mixer
o alsamixer: curses mixer
o amidi: read from and write to ALSA RawMIDI ports
o aplay, arecord: command line playback and recording
o aplaymidi, arecordmidi: command line MIDI playback and recording
o aconnect, aseqnet, aseqdump: command line MIDI sequencer control

ALSA is the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.

Amarok tries to be a little different, providing a simple drag and drop interface that really makes playlist handling easy.

Features include:
- rapid playlist creation, with drag and drop from a directory view
- nice playlist browser for your existing playlists (PLS or M3U formats)
- collection-indexing support, for smart browsing and playlist creation
- possibility of accessing media via kioslaves, allowing you to play
via smb:// or fish:// (normal streams are of course supported)
- inline ID3 tag editing, capable of retrieving tags via MusicBrainz
- album cover support: automatically displays album covers from the
filesystem, or downloaded on the fly
- miscellaneous audio effects, including crossfading
- easy bindable global shortcuts, rich DCOP interface
- On-Screen Display (OSD), on track change or at keypress
- iPod and iRiver support
- Last.fm stream playing support
- Track "mood" display (requires moodbar package installed)

Support for libvisual visualization plugins is also compiled in (you need to have libvisual-0.4-plugins installed to be able to use it).

This package contains architecture independent files needed for Amarok to run properly. It also provides Amarok documentation. Therefore, unless you have 'amarok' package installed, you will hardly find this package useful.

You need to install Python if you intend to use Zeroconf support, WebControl and/or playlist2html scripts. You will also need python-qt3 for the WebControl script.

This package provides the xine engine for Amarok. Xine is capable of playing most of media formats and usually does not require any additional configuration therefore this engine is default and recommended.

This package includes Amarok yauap engine, which provides a frontend to Yauap Commandline Audio Player. DBus is used as a means of communication between the engine and Yauap. Please note that some extra Amarok features (like visualizations) might not be available while using this engine.

This package serves merely as a reference point if you want to install all available Amarok engines. It depends on those Amarok engines that generally can be used by most users. You can safely remove this metapackage as you can remove the amarok-engine-$engine packages that you don't use.

This package contains the Amarok sidebar plugin for konqueror from KDE 3 series. The sidebar provides a convenient way for a user to control amarok directly from the running konqueror instance.

A set of ambisonics plugins, mainly to be used within Ardour. Mono and stereo to B-format panning, horizontal rotator, square, hexagon and cube decoders.

aMule is a peer-to-peer file sharing application, designed to connect to the eDonkey and Kad networks. It has a wide range of features, including many of the original eMule client, like:


* online signature, source exchange, compressed transfers, secure
identification, and IP filter support
* boolean search, which can be local, global, or in the Kad network
* checks against aggressive clients
* slot allocation, to decide the number of remote clients
* systray works well both in GNOME and KDE
* translations to many languages

A daemonized version of the application that does not need a graphic environment to run is available in the amule-daemon package, and various utilities of interest can be found in the amule-utils and amule-utils-gui packages, including the ed2k link handler.

This package contains localization files and webserver templates for aMule. You probably don't want to install this package alone, but amule or amule-daemon instead.

This package contains a set of command-line utilities related to aMule, the eD2k network client:


* ed2k: handles ed2k:// links, queueing them into aMule
* cas: displays the contents of your aMule online signature
* alcc: computes ed2k:// links for the given input files
* amulecmd: text-based client to control aMule or the aMule daemon

Some of these utilities have graphic versions, which can be found in the amule-utils-gui package.

Anacron (like `anac(h)ronistic') is a periodic command scheduler. It executes commands at intervals specified in days. Unlike cron, it does not assume that the system is running continuously. It can therefore be used to control the execution of daily, weekly and monthly jobs (or anything with a period of n days), on systems that don't run 24 hours a day. When installed and configured properly, Anacron will make sure that the commands are run at the specified intervals as closely as machine-uptime permits.

This package is pre-configured to execute the daily jobs of the Debian system. You should install this program if your system isn't powered on 24 hours a day to make sure the maintenance jobs of other Debian packages are executed each day.

Apollon is a graphical frontend to the giFT file-sharing system. It allows the user to perform searches and control downloads and uploads. Apollon needs a giFT daemon to be useful.

Apollon has many fine features such as file preview, multi-tabbed searching, filtering of search results, docking in the KDE/GNOME system tray, and downloading of entire remote directories.

This is Debian's next generation front-end for the dpkg package manager. It provides the apt-get utility and APT dselect method that provides a simpler, safer way to install and upgrade packages.

APT features complete installation ordering, multiple source capability and several other unique features, see the Users Guide in apt-doc.

apt-file is a command line tool for searching packages for the APT packaging system.

Unlike apt-cache, you can search in which package a file is included or list the contents of a package without installing or fetching it.

apt-show-versions parses the dpkg status file and the APT lists for the installed and available package versions and distribution and shows upgrade options within the specific distribution of the selected package.

This is really useful if you have a mixed stable/testing environment and want to list all packages which are from testing and can be upgraded in testing.

This package contains some APT utility programs such as apt-ftparchive, apt-sortpkgs and apt-extracttemplates.

apt-extracttemplates is used by debconf to prompt for configuration questions before installation. apt-ftparchive is used to create Package and other index files. apt-sortpkgs is a Package/Source file normalizer.

This package is part of KDE, as a component of the KDE utilities module. See the 'kde' and 'kdeutils' packages for more information.

The rules are simple: you ride a light cycle (a kind of motorbike that can only turn 90 degrees at a time, leaves a wall behind and cannot be stopped) and have to avoid running into walls while at the same time you have to try to get your opponent to run into them.

The idea is based on the Disney movie from 1982 called "Tron". If you ever wanted to take a try at one of those speed demons features in the movie, this is your chance.

Armagetron Advanced can be played against AI opponents, against other humans over the network, or a mixture of both.

This is a BETA release provided for users who would like to use the bleeding edge branch. It's preferred that bugs be reported upstream.

Armagetron Advanced is a 3D game based on the light cycle racing in the 80s- era movie "Tron".

It knows about a wide variety of hex, binary, octal, Teletype mnemonic, ISO/ECMA code point, slang names, XML entity names, and other representations. Given any one on the command line, it will try to display all others. Called with no arguments it displays a handy small ASCII chart.

GNU Aspell is a spell-checker which can be used either as a standalone application or embedded in other programs. Its main feature is that it does a much better job of suggesting possible spellings than just about any other spell-checker available for the English language, including Ispell and Microsoft Word. It also has many other technical enhancements over Ispell such as using shared memory for dictionaries and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when more than one Aspell process is open at once.

Aspell is designed to be a drop-in replacement for Ispell.

This is the Spanish dictionary for use with the aspell spellchecker. It is based on ispell dictionary put together by Santiago Rodriguez and Jesus Carretero.

If you do not plan to build Debian packages, you don't need this package. Starting with dpkg (>= 1.14.18) this package is required for building Debian packages.

This package contains an informational list of packages which are considered essential for building Debian packages. This package also depends on the packages on that list, to make it easy to have the build-essential packages installed.

If you have this package installed, you only need to install whatever a package specifies as its build-time dependencies to build the package. Conversely, if you are determining what your package needs to build-depend on, you can always leave out the packages this package depends on.

This package is NOT the definition of what packages are build-essential; the real definition is in the Debian Policy Manual. This package contains merely an informational list, which is all most people need. However, if this package and the manual disagree, the manual is correct.

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv, mount, tar, etc.). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts.

This package installs the BusyBox binary but does not install symlinks for any of the supported utilities. You can use /bin/busybox --install to install BusyBox to the current directory (you do not want to do this in / on your Debian system!).

bzip2 is a freely available, patent free, high-quality data compressor. It typically compresses files to within 10% to 15% of the best available techniques, whilst being around twice as fast at compression and six times faster at decompression.

bzip2 compresses files using the Burrows-Wheeler block-sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression is generally considerably better than that achieved by more conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors.

The archive file format of bzip2 (.bz2) is incompatible with that of its predecessor, bzip (.bz).

This package includes PEM files of CA certificates to allow SSL-based applications to check for the authenticity of SSL connections.

It includes, among others, certificate authorities used by the Debian infrastructure and those shipped with Mozilla's browsers.

cdebootstrap is used to create a Debian base system from scratch.

CDfs is a file system for Linux systems that `exports' all tracks and boot images on a CD as normal files. These files can then be mounted (e.g. for ISO and boot images), copied, played (WAVE audio and VideoCD tracks)... The primary goal for developing this file system was to `unlock' information in old ISO images.

This package was compiled for the kernel-image-2.6.28.7-venenux-libre package. You need to rebuild it or use another prepared package if your Linux kernel is not version 2.6.28.7-venenux-libre.

An audio extraction tool for sampling CDs. Unlike similar programs such as cdda2wav, cdparanoia goes to great lengths to try to extract the audio information without any artifacts such as jitter.

cdrdao records audio or data CD-Rs in disk-at-once (DAO) mode based on a textual description of the CD contents.

Recording in disk-at-once mode writes the complete disc, i.e. lead-in, one or more tracks and lead-out, in a single step. The commonly used track-at-once (TAO) mode writes each track independently which requires link blocks between two tracks. You probably want to use this if you're copying a CD with multiple tracks, like most audio CDs.

cdrdao can also handle the bin/cue format commonly used for VCDs or disks with subchannel data.

If you just want to burn a normal data CD, you probably want wodim instead.

This is a dummy package to ease the transition to wodim, the fork of cdrecord. It provides a cdrecord symlink to wodim for compatibility purposes. Please use wodim instead of cdrecord.

This package provides the standard data files for the Linux console tools.

This includes keyboard definitions (keymaps), console fonts for various encodings, maps defining the standard charsets for use by text applications, and fallback tables allowing to approximate an unavailable character's glyph with the glyph of another character in the current font.

The package provides the Linux console with the same versatile keyboard configuration that the X Window System uses. As a result there is no need to duplicate or change the keyboard files just to make simple customisations such as the use of dead keys, the key functioning as AltGr or Compose key, the key(s) to switch between Latin and non-Latin mode, etc.

The package also contains console fonts supporting many of the world's languages. It provides an unified set of font faces - the classic VGA, the simplistic Fixed, and the cleaned Terminus, TerminusBold and TerminusBoldVGA.

This package installs in /usr/share/consolefonts several console variants of the Terminus font. If you have to work for extended time in front of monitor (i.e. over eight hours), you may find that using of these fonts reduces your eyes-fatigue.

The following charsets are supported: western European Latin, central European Latin, Turkish Latin, Romanian Latin, Slavic Cyrillic and Asian Cyrillic (Bashkyr, Kazakh, Mongolian and others).

This package allows you to set-up and manipulate the Linux console (ie. screen and keyboard), and manipulate console-font files.

`console-tools' was developed from version 0.94 of the standard `kbd' package, and integrates many fixes and enhancements, including new kbd features up to 0.99.

CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS. Unlike the simpler systems, CVS does not just operate on one file at a time or one directory at a time, but operates on hierarchical collections of directories consisting of version controlled files.

CVS helps to manage releases and to control the concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. CVS allows triggers to enable/log/control various operations and works well over a wide area network.

This package contains a simple command line client called cw, which sounds characters as Morse code on the console speaker. The included cwgen binary can generate groups of random characters for Morse code practice.

The Debian Almquist Shell (dash) is a lightweight POSIX-compliant shell derived from ash.

It can be usefully installed as /bin/sh (because it executes scripts faster than bash), or as the default shell for the superuser. It depends on fewer libraries than bash, and is therefore less likely to be affected by an upgrade problem or a disk failure. It is also useful for checking the POSIX compliance of scripts.

This program takes an xBase file and sends queries to an MySQL server to insert it into an MySQL table and vice versa.

D-Bus is a message bus, used for sending messages between applications. Conceptually, it fits somewhere in between raw sockets and CORBA in terms of complexity.

D-Bus supports broadcast messages, asynchronous messages (thus decreasing latency), authentication, and more. It is designed to be low-overhead; messages are sent using a binary protocol, not using XML. D-Bus also supports a method call mapping for its messages, but it is not required; this makes using the system quite simple.

It comes with several bindings, including GLib, Python, Qt and Java.

This package contains the D-Bus daemon and related utilities.

The client-side library can be found in the libdbus-1-3 package, as it is no longer contained in this package.

See http://dfu-programmer.sourceforge.net/ for more information.

dhcdbd provides a D-Bus interface to dhclient, the DHCP client from ISC, so applications such as NetworkManager can query and control dhclient. This allows an application-neutral interface for such operations.

Many sites use SLIP or PPP links to connect to other sites over phone lines. Normally these links must be explicitly turned on or off. diald can be used to bring a SLIP or PPP link up when there are Internet packets to be sent to another site, and to close the link down when it is idle.

diald operates by starting a virtual link on a pseudo tty and setting up a route to the resulting interface. This interface is called the proxy. diald monitors the proxy to determine when to bring up a real communications link. When a real link is up diald routes packets from the proxy to the real link and monitors the real link to decide if it needs to be shut down. As well, if the link goes down unexpectedly diald will attempt to reestablish the link. The rules for controlling these operations are extensively configurable in run time startup files.

Diald requires that you use either the ethertap interface (available in recent Linux kernels) or SLIP to provide the proxy interface. Thus, one or the other of these interfaces is required for diald to work.

Diald needs a program like "chat" or "expect" to actually dial. Sorry, "dip" cannot be used.

This application provides a method of displaying several different types of dialog boxes from shell scripts. This allows a developer of a script to interact with the user in a much friendlier manner.

Discover is a hardware identification system based on the libdiscover2 library. Discover provides a flexible interface that programs can use to report a wide range of information about the hardware that is installed on a Linux system. In addition to reporting information, Discover includes support for doing hardware detection at boot time.

The Discover hardware detection library uses XML data files to describe software interfaces to various ATA, PCI, PMCMIA, SCSI, and USB devices. While the Discover library can retrieve data from anywhere on the net, it is often convenient to have a set of Discover XML data files on one's system; thus, this package.

The official reference manual for the DocBook 4.x SGML and XML DTD, by Norman Walsh, Leonard Muellner, and Bob Stayton. This version is an evolution of the book of the same name published by O'Reilly (which documented DocBook 3.1).

This is a work in progress, which attempts to fully document DocBook 4.5, but may be inconsistent in some places.

DocBook is an XML document type definition (DTD). That is, it contains the "DocBook" document structure. This is used by authors or editors writing documents in the DocBook XML format. DocBook was designed for books, articles, or reference documentation about technical matters or software. It has emerged as an open, standard DTD in the software industry, and is the documentation system of choice for many free software projects.

This package contains the XML DTD for DocBook, which describes the formal structure for documents following this format. If you wish to author DocBook documents using SGML rather than XML, use the 'docbook' package. You will need other packages in order to edit (psgml), validate (opensp, libxml2-utils) or format (docbook-xsl, docbook-dsssl) DocBook documents.

This package ships with the latest DocBook 4.5 XML DTD, as well as a select set of legacy DTDs for use with older documents, including 4.0, 4.1.2, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4.

The primary goal of this project is to support multi-byte character encodings and large character sets for East Asian languages by using CID-keyed font technology. The secondary goal is to support as many features as pdfTeX developed by Han The Thanh.

This project is a combined work of the dvipdfm-jpn project by Shunsaku Hirata and its modified one, dvipdfm-kor, by Jin-Hwan Cho

dvipng makes PNG graphics from DVI files as obtained from TeX and its relatives. It is intended to produce anti-aliased screen-resolution images as fast as is possible. This makes dvipng suitable for generating large amounts of images on-the-fly.

dvipng does not read the postamble, so it can be started before TeX finishes. It can read options interactively through stdin, and all options are usable. One can even change the input file through this interface.

dvipng supports PK, VF, PostScript Type1, and TrueType fonts, color specials and simple PostScript inclusion specials.

Dvipost is a post processor for dvi files, created by latex or tex. If the command is invoked as pplatex, it integrates the call of latex and the post processing of the dvi file.

Dvipost is used for special modes, which normally need the support of dvi drivers (such as dvips). With dvipost, these features could be implemented independent of the preferred driver. Currently, the post processor supports layout raster, change bars and overstrike mode.

Festival offers a full text to speech system with various APIs, as well an environment for development and research of speech synthesis techniques. It includes a Scheme-based command interpreter.

Besides research into speech synthesis, festival is useful as a stand-alone speech synthesis program. It is capable of producing clearly understandable speech from text.

Miscellaneous Festival utilities, providing especially the following features: Generalized concept of input events, including ability to play sounds within the synthesized text and to map logical input events to other events; replacing given words in the synthesized text by events; spelling; capital letter signalization; punctuation reading modes; miscellaneous Festival Scheme functions.

Primary focus of festival-freebsoft-utils is on Festival cooperation with Speech Dispatcher, but they may be used together with other speech frontends or for other purposes as well.

This is the CMU dictionary in Festival form. It is required for American English voices.

This package is required by all British and American English voices in the Festival speech synthesis system.

This is a diphone database for festival that uses 16k samples for high quality sound output. This is a large database (6 MB), and festival will convert text to speech more slowly using it, so you might want to install festvox-kallpc8k instead if you have low disk space or a slow computer.

The voice contained in this database is an American English male speaker. A different American English voice can be found in the festvox-kdlpc16k package if you dislike this one.

ffmpeg is a hyper fast real time audio/video encoder, a streaming server and a generic audio and video file converter.

It can grab from a standard Video4Linux video source and convert it into several file formats based on DCT/motion compensation encoding. Sound is compressed in MPEG audio layer 2 or using an AC3 compatible stream.

This package provides a command-line tool to encode/recode various video formats (basically everything that ffmpeg can read) into Theora, the free video codec.

Four-band parametric equaliser. Each section has an active/bypass switch, frequency, bandwidth and gain controls. There is also a global bypass switch and gain control.

The 2nd order resonant filters are implemented using a Mitra-Regalia style lattice filter, which has the nice property of being stable even while parameters are being changed.

All switches and controls are internally smoothed, so they can be used 'live' without any clicks or zipper noises. This should make this plugin a good candidate for use in systems that allow automation of plugin control ports, such as Ardour, or for stage use.

File tests each argument in an attempt to classify it. There are three sets of tests, performed in this order: filesystem tests, magic number tests, and language tests. The first test that succeeds causes the file type to be printed.

Starting with version 4, the file command is not much more than a wrapper around the "magic" library.

A collection of filters to do all sorts of strange things to text. This includes such favorites as B1FF and the Swedish Chef, and a wide range of others.

This package consists of filter scripts used by the printer spoolers to convert the incoming PostScript data into the printer's native format using a printer-specific, but spooler-independent PPD file. You will need to install the foomatic-db-engine package and its dependencies for this package to be useful.

For use with CUPS, you will need both the cupsys and cupsys-client packages installed on your system.

Foomatic is a printer database designed to make it easier to set up common printers for use with Debian (and other operating systems). It provides the "glue" between a print spooler (like CUPS or lpr) and your actual printer, by telling your computer how to process files sent to the printer.

This package provides Adobe-compliant PPD files for *every single printer* supported by Foomatic. Unless you want to be able to select your printer from the web interface of CUPS or PPR, you almost certainly don't want this package. Instead, you can use the "foomatic-configure" script in foomatic-db-engine, the "foomatic-gui" package, or the web interface for getting a particular PPD file at http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi

This package *does not* provide manufacturer-supported PPD files for PostScript printers; those are included in the openprinting-ppds package.

This is a console program to recover files based on their headers and footers for forensics purposes.

Foremost can work on disk image files, such as those generated by dd, Safeback, Encase, etc, or directly on a drive. The headers and footers are specified by a configuration file, so you can pick and choose which headers you want to look for.

fping is a ping like program which uses the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request to determine if a target host is responding. fping differs from ping in that you can specify any number of targets on the command line, or specify a file containing the lists of targets to ping. Instead of sending to one target until it times out or replies, fping will send out a ping packet and move on to the next target in a round-robin fashion.

freecdb is a fast, reliable, simple package for creating and reading constant databases. Its database structure provides several features:


* Fast lookups: A successful lookup in a large database normally takes
just two disk accesses. An unsuccessful lookup takes only one.
* Low overhead: A database uses 2048 bytes, plus 24 bytes per record,
plus the space for keys and data.
* No random limits: cdb can handle any database up to 4 gigabytes.
There are no other restrictions; records don't even have to fit into
memory. Databases are stored in a machine-independent format.
* Fast atomic database replacement: cdbmake can rewrite an entire
database two orders of magnitude faster than other hashing packages.
* Fast database dumps: cdbdump prints the contents of a database in
cdbmake-compatible format.

This package is derived from the cdb package, and uses the original cdb library. See http://cr.yp.to/cdb.html

<insert long description, indented with spaces>

This daemon is the core component of the giFT project, a peer-to-peer filesharing abstraction layer capable of utilizing multiple networks simultaneously while providing a single consistent interface to the user through their preferred giFT client interface. The daemon uses a simple TCP/IP protocol to interact with the user and is capable of accepting both local and remote connections depending on configuration.

giFToxic is a simple and good-looking front-end to the giFT filesharing system. It allows the user to perform searches and control downloads and uploads. It needs a giFT daemon to connect to, which usually runs on the same computer as itself.

GIJ is not limited to interpreting bytecode. It includes a class loader which can dynamically load shared objects, so it is possible to give it the name of a class which has been compiled and put into a shared library on the class path.

The package contains the following plugins:


* Add Film Grain (2.4):
Helps adding realistic film grain to BW images.
* Black and White Film Simulation (1.1):
Converts the selected layer into Black and White using
the channel mixer. Tries to produce results resembling
tonal qualities of film.
* Contact Sheet:
Generates a contact sheet(s) for a directory of images.
* David's Batch Processor (1.1.7):
A simple batch processing plugin for The Gimp - it allows
the user to automatically perform operations (such as resize)
on a collection of image files.
* Diana-Holga2 (3 juin 2008):
Diana/Holga Toys Cameras effect simulator.
* Exposure Blend (1.3b):

This plugin tries to simulate an out-of-focus blur
* GREYCstoration (2.8):
A tool to denoise, inpaint and resize images
* Layer-Effects (2.4):
This script implements the following effects:
add border, bevel and emboss, color overlay, drop shadow,
gradient overlay, inner glow, inner shadow, outer glow,
pattern overlay, satin.
* Liquid Rescale (0.4.0-4):
Content-aware rescaling. Keeps the features of the image while
rescaling along a single direction.
* Normalmap (1.2.1):
Allows you to convert images into RGB normal maps for use in
per-pixel lighting applications.
* Planet Render (1-2):
Creates a planet. Color, size and sun orientation
can be set.
* Refocus (0.9.1):
The GIMP plugin to refocus images using FIR Wiener filtering.
During image processing operations such as scanning and scaling, images
tend to get blurry. The blurred impression of these images is due to the
fact that image pixels are averaged with their neighbors. Blurred images
don't have sharp boundaries and look as though they have been taken with
an unfocussed camera.
* Save for Web (0.28.5):
Allows to experiment with various popular web format options. It shows
an automatically updated preview and file size statistics.
* Separate+ (0.5.1):
Separate+ is a plug-in that generates color separations from an RGB
image, proofs CMYK colors on the monitor and exports the CMYK TIFF file.
* Smart Sharpen (redux) (2.4):
This script implements the redux version of smart sharpening. It utilizes
the Unsharp Mask or Refocus plugin to sharpen the image.
* Streak-Camera simulation (0.6):
A streak camera images an object through a slit -
thus getting a "one dimensional image". This image is
propagated along the second dimension of the image plane
at a constant speed. The result is a picture of the time
dependency of the object.
* Wavelet Denoise (0.2-beta):
The wavelet denoise plugin is a tool to selectively reduce noise in
individual channels of an image with optional RGB<->YCbCr conversion.
It has a user inteface to adjust the amount of denoising applied. The
wavelet nature of the algorithm makes the processing quite fast.

* Drop Shadow and Bevel - Add a drop shadow and/or bevel to a layer
* Foggify: Add a layer of fog to an image
* Py-Slice: Cuts an image along its guides and saves subimages + HTML
* Sphere: Generate simple spheres with drop shadows
* Whirl and Pinch: Distorts an image by whirling and pinching

This gimp plugin takes samples of textures, and synthesizes larger textures from them. It can be used to extend textures (including making tileable textures), remove objects from textures, and make themed images.

Gimp-texturize is a plug-in for the GIMP, a famous picture editor and manipulator.

A few images are designed to be copy-pasted one next to another and still look natural, but the result is usually periodic and very monotonous. The Texturize plugin allows you to have a realistic pseudo-periodicity.

Have a look at http://www.manucornet.net/Informatique/Texturize.php to see how it looks like.

This is a graphical tool to import raw data from high-end digital cameras into the Gimp.

The Unidentified Flying Raw (UFRaw) is a utility for converting and manipulating raw images from digital cameras. It can be used as a stand-alone tool or as a Gimp plug-in, and images can be batch processed using the command-line interface. UFRaw reads most existing raw formats using Dave Coffin's raw conversion utility DCRaw, and it supports basic color management using Little CMS, allowing the user to apply color profiles.

gnome-keyring is a daemon in the session, similar to ssh-agent, and other applications can use it to store passwords and other sensitive information.

The program can manage several keyrings, each with its own master password, and there is also a session keyring which is never stored to disk, but forgotten when the session ends.

This module contains the base MIME and Application database for GNOME. It is meant to be accessed through the MIME functions in GnomeVFS.

The gnome-mount package contains programs for mounting, unmounting and ejecting storage devices. The goal for gnome-mount is to get the appropriate GNOME software (such as gnome-volume-manager and GnomeVFS) to use his method instead of invoking mount/umount/eject or direct HAL invoking methods.

All the gnome-mount programs utilize the methods on HAL and as such run unprivileged. The rationale for gnome-mount is to have a centralized place (in GConf) where settings (e.g. mount options and mount locations) are maintained.

A nautilus extension allows to easily change the mount options which can be user, drive or volume specific.

GNUCAP is a general purpose circuit simulator. It performs nonlinear dc and transient analyses, Fourier analysis, and ac analysis linearized at an operating point. It is fully interactive and command driven. It can also be run in batch mode or as a server. The output is produced as it simulates. Spice compatible models for the MOSFET (level 1,2,3) and diode are included in this release.

Gnuchess is an updated version of the GNU chess playing program. It has a simple alpha-numeric board display, and is also compatible with frontends like xboard and eboard.

This is the opening book for gnuchess. It was formerly distributed together with gnuchess, now it has been separated due to size and architecture-independence. It is recommended that you install it if you want to use gnuchess.

gnuhtml2latex is a Perl script that converts html files to latex files. It takes list of .html files as arguments and make .tex ones. Can also convert html stdin to latex stdout.

GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage. It can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures. It includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC2440.

GnuPG does not use any patented algorithms so it cannot be compatible with PGP2 because it uses IDEA (which is patented worldwide).

Gpart is a tool which tries to guess the primary partition table of a PC-type disk in case the primary partition table in sector 0 is damaged, incorrect or deleted.

It is also good at finding and listing the types, locations, and sizes of inadvertently-deleted partitions, both primary and logical. It gives you the information you need to manually re-create them (using fdisk, cfdisk, sfdisk, etc.).

The guessed table can also be written to a file or (if you firmly believe the guessed table is entirely correct) directly to a disk device.

Supported (guessable) filesystem or partition types:


* BeOS filesystem type.
* FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD disklabel sub-partitioning
scheme used on Intel platforms.
* Linux second extended filesystem.
* MS-DOS FAT12/16/32 "filesystems".
* IBM OS/2 High Performance filesystem.
* Linux LVM physical volumes (LVM by Heinz Mauelshagen).
* Linux swap partitions (versions 0 and 1).
* The Minix operating system filesystem type.
* MS Windows NT/2000 filesystem.
* QNX 4.x filesystem.
* The Reiser filesystem (version 3.5.X, X > 11).
* Sun Solaris on Intel platforms uses a sub-partitioning
scheme on PC hard disks similar to the BSD disklabels.
* Silicon Graphics' journalling filesystem for Linux.

Other types may be added relatively easily, as separately compiled modules.

GParted uses libparted to detect and manipulate devices and partition tables while several (optional) filesystem tools provide support for filesystems not included in libparted.

GnuPG is GNU's tool for secure communication and data storage.

gpgv is a stripped-down version of gnupg which is only able to check signatures. It is smaller than the full-blown gnupg and uses a different (and simpler) way to check that the public keys used to make the signature are trustworthy.

This package provides a daemon that captures mouse events when the system console is active, and delivers events to applications through a library.

By default, the daemon provides a 'selection' mode, so that cut-and-paste with the mouse works on the console just as it does under X.

GPP is a general-purpose preprocessor with customizable syntax, suitable for a wide range of preprocessing tasks. Its independence from any one programming language makes it much more versatile than the C preprocessor (cpp), while its syntax is lighter and more flexible than that of GNU m4. There are built-in macros for use with C/C++, LaTeX, HTML, XHTML, and Prolog files.

Gpsim is a full-featured software simulator for Microchip PIC microcontrollers.

Gpsim has been designed to be as accurate as possible. Accuracy includes the entire PIC - from the core to the I/O pins and including ALL of the internal peripherals. Thus it's possible to create stimuli and tie them to the I/O pins and test the PIC the same PIC the same way you would in the real world.

Gpsim has been designed to be as fast as possible. Real time simulation speeds of 20Mhz PICs are possible.

Gpsim has been designed to be as useful as possible. The standard simulation paradigm including breakpoints, single stepping, disassembling, memory inspect & change, have been implemented. In addition, gpsim supports many debugging features that are only available with in-circuit emulators. For example, a continuous trace buffer tracks every action of the simulator. Also, it's possible to set read and write break points on values (e.g. break if a specific value is read from or written to a register).

HAL provides an abstract view on hardware.

This abstraction layer is simply an interface that makes it possible to add support for new devices and new ways of connecting devices to the computer, without modifying every application that uses the device. It maintains a list of devices that currently exist, and can provide information about those upon request.

These utilities allow to detect automatically printers using the HAL framework when they are plugged on the system. They are then configured automatically in the CUPS printing daemon and made available to users.

The package includes:
- a HAL backend for the CUPS daemon;
- a script that is run by HAL upon detection of the printer to
configure it in CUPS.

This abstraction layer is simply an interface that makes it possible to add support for new devices and new ways of connecting devices to the computer, without modifying every application that uses the device. It maintains a list of devices that currently exist, and can provide information about those upon request.

This package contains various device information files (also known as .fdi files) for the hal package. These fdi files contain additional information that help to describe the hardware more detailed, such as suspend/resume quirks for laptops, music player or photo camera types etc.

HardInfo is a small application that displays information about your hardware and operating system. Currently it knows about PCI, ISA PnP, USB, IDE, SCSI, Serial and parallel port devices.

Get/set hard disk parameters for Linux IDE drives. Primary use is for enabling irq-unmasking and IDE multiplemode.

Its remarkable features are
- It produces good output. Special symbols (like mathematical symbols) are
translated into HTML entities which should be rendered by any graphical
browser. Picture files are only generated on demand, for instance when
translating graphics.
- It is highly configurable through (La)TeX macros. Though aimed at
LaTeX input it understands a fair subset of TeX' macro language.
- It runs fast.

This version of HeVeA is patched to generate by default picture files in the PNG format instead of the GIF format.

hexedit shows a file both in ASCII and in hexadecimal. The file can be a device as the file is not whole read. You can modify the file and search through it. You have also copy&paste and save to file functions. Truncating or appending to the file. Modifications are shown in bold.

This is the default fallback theme used by implementations of the Freedesktop.org Icon Theme specification.

This package contains an IJS printer driver for Ghostscript, which adds support for most inkjet printers and some LaserJet printers manufactured by HP. It is also required for HPLIP fax support.

The Debian package of hpijs includes the so-called rss patch, to use pure black ink instead of composite black in printers that don't do color map conversion in firmware.

HPIJS can take advantage of Ghostscript IJS KRGB support when available, to enhance black printing on printers that do color map conversion in firmware and are thus not affected by the old rss patch.

Users of the CUPS printing system are advised to also install the hplip package, and use the hp CUPS backend to send data to the printer. HPLIP supports USB, networked and parallel-port devices, and enables extended HPIJS functionality such as border-less printing. Selecting any hpijs ppd in CUPS will use hpijs automatically.

Users of spoolers other than CUPS with printers connected through USB or parallel ports are advised to install the hpoj package. Extended HPIJS functionality will not be available.

HPIJS is meant to be used through the foomatic system (see the foomatic-filters package).

This package contains PPD (printer definition) files for the printers supported through the HP Linux Printing and Imaging System HPIJS driver.

These PPDs should work well with the matching versions of HPLIP and HPIJS, but may not be the most up-to-date PPDs available for a given printer. See http://www.openprinting.org/ for the latest version of the PPDs (which are not guaranteed to work well).

The HP Linux Printing and Imaging System provides full support for printing on most HP SFP (single function peripheral) inkjets and many LaserJets, and for scanning, sending faxes and for photo-card access on most HP MFP (multi-function peripheral) printers.

HPLIP is composed of:
* System services to handle communications with the printers
* HP CUPS backend driver (hp:) with bi-directional communication with
HP printers (provides printer status feedback to CUPS and enhanced
HPIJS functionality such as 4-side full-bleed printing support)
* HP CUPS backend driver for sending faxes (hpfax:)
* HPIJS Ghostscript IJS driver to rasterize output from PostScript(tm)
files or from any other input format supported by Ghostscript, and
also for PostScript(tm) to fax conversion support
(HPIJS is shipped in a separate package)
* Command line utilities to perform printer maintenance, such as
ink-level monitoring or pen cleaning and calibration
* GUI and command line utility to download data from the photo card
interfaces in MFP devices
* GUI and command line utilities to interface with the fax functions
* A GUI toolbox to access all these functions in a friendly way
