Standards Based Linux NFSv4 Instrumentation Providers

The various kernel parameter providers in this package expose the Linux
kernel parameters that are accessible under subdirs of /proc/sys/. Each
subdir contains kernel parameters for the respective kernel function,
and is implemented as a separate CIM_Setting subclass. Each provider
acts as instrumentation for that particular kernel parameter subclass.

The respective kernel parameter providers allow an administrator to
view and possibly modify the many different kernel parameters of a
Linux system via the CIMOM. All kernel parameters settings can be
viewed, however only those parameters whose associated file is
writeable can be modified.

This package provides SBLIM instrumentation to expose the kernel
devices accessible via sysfs, which is a virtual filesystem in Linux
kernel versions 2.5+ that provides a tree of system devices. The sysfs
filesystem is mounted under /sys and the various subdirectories of /sys
represent the different classes of devices currently registered on the
machine.

- Syslog Configuration Instrumentation This instrumentation allows
management of syslog configuration file via CIM.

- Syslog Service Instrumentation This instrumentation allows to
manage the syslog service via CIM.

- Syslog Logfile Instrumentation This instrumentation allows viewing of
syslog logfiles via CIM.

The purpose of this package is to implement the DMTF CIM Metrics Model
for Linux, making it available via a CIMOM supporting/supported by the
CMPI provider interface.

While the Gatherer and it's plugins can be used standalone, the
greatest benefit comes from using it in conjuction with a CIM Object
Manager (CIMOM) like Pegasus (The Open Group). Basically it allows to
remoteley obtain performance information about a Linux system. For more
information about CIM and the CIM Metrics Model you are referred to the
Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) at http://www.dmtf.org.

This package is containing the agents and control programs which can be
deployed stand-alone.

This package contains a developer library for helping out when writing
CMPI providers. This library polls the registered functions for data
and, if it changes, a CMPI indication is set with the values of the
indication class properties (also set by the developer).

Small Footprint CIM Client Library (sfcc) Runtime Libraries

The tools-libra package provides common functionality required by
the task-specific resource access layers of wbem-smt tasks such as
cmpi-dns and cmpi-samba.

WBEM Command Line Interface is a standalone, command line WBEM client.
It is especially suited for basic systems management tasks as it can be
used in scripts.

The smolt hardware profiler is a server-client system that does a
hardware scan against a machine and sends the results to a public
Fedora Project turbogears server. The sends are anonymous and should
not contain any private information other than the physical hardware
information and basic OS info.

This package contains the smolt client

Star is a tar like archiver. TAR stands for Tape ARchiver. Star is the
fastest known implementation of a tar archiver.

Features:

- FIFO to keep the tape streaming.

- remote tape support.

- accurate sparse files (if the OS supports it).

- pattern matcher to archive and extract a subset of files.

- user tailorable interface for comparing tar archives against file
trees.

- path names up to 1024 Bytes may be archived.

- stores and restores all 3 file times (even creation time). With
POSIX.1-2001 the times are in nanosecond granularity.

Sudo is a command that allows users to execute some commands as root.
The /etc/sudoers file (edited with 'visudo') specifies which users have
access to sudo and which commands they can run. Sudo logs all its
activities to syslogd, so the system administrator can keep an eye on
things. Sudo asks for the password for initializing a check period of a
given time N (where N is defined at installation and is set to 5
minutes by default).

This package normally also includes the program "rmt", which provides
remote tape drive control. Since there are compatible versions of 'rmt'
in either the 'star' package or the 'dump' package, we didn't put 'rmt'
into this package. If you are planning to use the remote tape features
provided by tar you have to also install the 'dump' or the 'star'
package.

This program can "read" all or only certain packets going over the
ethernet. It can be used to debug specific network problems.

Unarj allows for unpacking of .arj files, which are widely spread in
the DOS world. It is included for compatibility reasons, to be able to
extract packages from DOS. It should not be used for compressing
packages under Linux. Use gzip, which is the standard, instead.

urlview presents a menu of all URLs from a given text file (e.g., a
mail). The user may then view the information located on those URLs.

This package contains a large variety of low-level system utilities
that are necessary for a Linux system to function. It contains the
mount program, the fdisk configuration tool, and more.

This is a new whois (RFC 954) client rewritten from scratch by Marco
d'Itri. It is derived from and compatible with the usual BSD and RIPE
whois(1) programs. It is intelligent and can automatically select the
appropriate whois server for most queries. This package also contains
mkpasswd, a simple front-end to crypt(3).

Wyrd is a text-based front-end to Remind, a sophisticated calendar and alarm
program. Remind's power lies in its programmability, and Wyrd does not hide
this capability behind flashy GUI dialogs. Rather, Wyrd is designed to make you
more efficient at editing your reminder files directly. It also offers a
scrollable timetable suitable for visualizing your schedule at a glance.

Unlike most of the calendar applications available today, Wyrd is designed to
be both lightweight and fast. Startup time is negligible, UI navigation is
instantaneous, and the wyrd process typically consumes less than 2MB of
resident memory.

Zoo is a packer based on the Lempel-Ziv algorithm. Lots of files on
DOS/AmigaDOS and TOS systems used this packer for their archives. The
compression rate of gzip is not reached, and thus zoo should only be
used for decompressing old archives.

ack is a grep-like tool tailored to working with large trees of source code.

adns includes a collection of useful DNS resolver utilities.

Calcurse is a text-based personal organizer which helps keep track of events
and everyday tasks. It has a calendar and a "todo" list, and puts your
appointments in order. The user interface is configurable, and you can choose
between different color schemes and layouts. All of the commands are
documented within an online help system.

ccache is a compiler cache. It speeds up recompilation by caching the result of
previous compilations and detecting when the same compilation is being done
again. Supported languages are C, C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++.

CGDB is a curses (terminal-based) interface to the GNU Debugger (GDB). Its goal
is to be lightweight and responsive; not encumbered with unnecessary features.

The primary feature of CGDB is the constant presence of a source display,
updated as the program executes, to help keep you focused while debugging. The
interface is inspired by the classic Unix text editor, vi. Those familiar with
vi (or vim) should feel right at home using CGDB.
