Pidgin allows you to talk to anyone using a variety of messaging
protocols including AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, Jabber, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, ICQ,
IRC, Novell Groupwise, QQ, Lotus Sametime, SILC, Simple and Zephyr.
These protocols are implemented using a modular, easy to use design. To
use a protocol, just add an account using the account editor.

Pidgin supports many common features of other clients, as well as many
unique features, such as Perl scripting, TCL scripting and C plugins.

Pidgin is not affiliated with or endorsed by America Online, Inc.,
Microsoft Corporation, Yahoo! Inc., or ICQ Inc.

This is a pidgin plugin which implements Off-the-Record (OTR)
Messaging. OTR allows you to have private conversations over IM
by providing:

- Encryption

- No one else can read your instant messages.

- Authentication

- You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is.

- Deniability

- The messages you send do _not_ have digital signatures that are
checkable by a third party. Anyone can forge messages after a
conversation to make them look like they came from you. However,
_during_ a conversation, your correspondent is assured the
messages he sees are authentic and unmodified.

- Perfect forward secrecy

- If you lose control of your private keys, no previous conversation is
compromised.

A third-party plugin for the Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger.
It implements the extended version of SIP/SIMPLE used by various products:

* Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS 2007/2007 R2 and newer)
* Microsoft Live Communications Server (LCS 2003/2005)
* Reuters Messaging

With this plugin you should be able to replace your Microsoft Office
Communicator client with Pidgin.

This package provides the icon set for Pidgin.

Pixman is a library that provides low-level pixel manipulation features such as image compositing and trapezoid
rasterization.

Poppler is a fork of the xpdf PDF viewer developed by Derek Noonburg of
Glyph and Cog, LLC. The purpose of forking xpdf is twofold. First, we
want to provide PDF rendering functionality as a shared library, to
centralize the maintenence effort. Today a number of applications
incorporate the xpdf code base, and whenever a security issue is
discovered, all these applications exchange patches and put out new
releases. In turn, all distributions must package and release new
version of these xpdf based viewers. It's safe to say that there's a
lot of duplicated effort with the current situation. Even if poppler
in the short term introduces yet another xpdf derived code base to the
world, we hope that over time these applications will adopt poppler.
After all, we only need one application to use poppler to break even.

Second, we would like to move libpoppler forward in a number of areas
that doesn't fit within the goals of xpdf. By design, xpdf depends on
very few libraries and runs a wide range of X based platforms. This is
a strong feature and reasonable design goal. However, with poppler we
would like to replace parts of xpdf that are now available as standard
components of modern Unix desktop environments. One such example is
fontconfig, which solves the problem of matching and locating fonts on
the system, in a standardized and well understood way. Another example
is cairo, which provides high quality 2D rendering. See the file TODO
for a list of planned changes.

This package consists of encoding files for use with poppler. The
encoding files are optional and poppler will automatically read them if
they are present. When installed, the encoding files enables poppler
to correctly render CJK and Cyrrilic properly. While poppler is
licensed under the GPL, these encoding files are copyright Adobe and
licensed much more strictly, and thus distributed separately.

Popt is a C library for parsing command line parameters. Popt was
heavily influenced by the getopt() and getopt_long() functions, but
it improves on them by allowing more powerful argument expansion.
Popt can parse arbitrary argv[] style arrays and automatically set
variables based on command line arguments. Popt allows command line
arguments to be aliased via configuration files and includes utility
functions for parsing arbitrary strings into argv[] arrays using
shell-like rules.

PortAudio is a portable audio I/O library designed for cross-platform
support of audio. It uses a callback mechanism to request audio
processing. Audio can be generated in various formats, including 32 bit
floating point, and will be converted to the native format internally.

Raptor is the RDF Parser Toolkit for Redland that provides a set of
standalone RDF parsers, generating triples from RDF/XML or N-Triples.

Rasqal is a library providing full support for querying Resource
Description Framework (RDF) including parsing query syntaxes,
constructing the queries, executing them and returning result formats.
It currently handles the RDF Data Query Language (RDQL) and SPARQL
Query language.

The Readline library provides a set of functions that allow users to
edit command lines. Both Emacs and vi editing modes are available. The
Readline library includes additional functions for maintaining a list
of previously-entered command lines for recalling or editing those
lines, and for performing csh-like history expansion on previous
commands.

This is a port of the library and development tools to Windows.

Redland is a library that provides a high-level interface for RDF
(Resource Description Framework) implemented in an object-based API. It
is modular and supports different RDF parsers, serializers, storage and
query languages. Redland is designed for developers to provide RDF
support in their applications as well as a core library for RDF
developers to start with.

MinGW Win64 cross-compiler runtime, base libraries.

This package contains:
- The freedesktop.org shared MIME database spec.
- The merged GNOME and KDE databases, in the new format.
- The update-mime-database command, used to install new MIME data.

SQLite is a C library that implements an SQL database engine. A large
subset of SQL92 is supported. A complete database is stored in a
single disk file. The API is designed for convenience and ease of use.
Applications that link against SQLite can enjoy the power and
flexibility of an SQL database without the administrative hassles of
supporting a separate database server.

T1lib is a library for generating character and string glyphs from
Adobe Type 1 fonts under UNIX. T1lib uses most of the code of the X
Window System rasterizer donated by IBM to the X Window System project.
Some disadvantages of the rasterizer included in the X Window System
have been eliminated.

Tango Icon Theme.

This is the GNU termcap library -- a library of C functions that
enable programs to send control strings to terminals in a way
independent of the terminal type. The GNU termcap library does not
place an arbitrary limit on the size of termcap entries, unlike most
other termcap libraries.

This package contains libraries for the MinGW cross-compiled version.

This package contains the library and support programs for the TIFF
image format (MinGW Win32 version).

Tk is a graphical user interface toolkit that takes developing desktop
applications to a higher level than conventional approaches. Tk is the
standard GUI not only for Tcl, but for many other dynamic languages,
and can produce rich, native applications that run unchanged across
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and more.

WavPack is an open-source lossless audio codec.

The win_iconv is an implementation of iconv for Windows by Yukihiro Nakadaira
that has a much smaller footprint than GNU libiconv.

WV is a program that can understand the Microsoft Word 8 binary file
format (Office97). It currently converts Word into HTML, which can then
be read with a web browser.

XPM (X PixMap) is a format for storing/retrieving X pixmaps to/from files.

Here is provided a library containing a set of four functions, similar to
the X bitmap functions as defined in the Xlib: XpmCreatePixmapFromData,
XpmCreateDataFromPixmap, XpmReadFileToPixmap and XpmWriteFileFromPixmap
for respectively including, storing, reading and writing this format, plus
four other: XpmCreateImageFromData, XpmCreateDataFromImage,
XpmReadFileToImage and XpmWriteFileFromImage for working with images
instead of pixmaps.

This new version provides a C includable format, defaults for different
types of display: monochrome/color/grayscale, hotspot coordinates and symbol
names for colors for overriding default colors when creating the pixmap. It
provides a mechanism for storing information while reading a file which is
re-used while writing. This way comments, default colors and symbol names
aren't lost. It also handles "transparent pixels" by returning a shape mask
in addition to the created pixmap.
