This package contains the programs necessary for user-specific process
accounting: sa, accton, and lastcomm.

A swallowable applet shows clock and calendar. Supports themes for
different looks.

This package contains a theme without trademarked logos.

This is a program designed to speed up writing tapes on remote tape
drives. When this program is put "in the pipe," two processes are
started. One process reads from standard-in and the other writes to
standard-out. Both processes communicate via shared memory.

Utilities for system wide CA certificate installation

This package contains the root certificates from cacert.org

This package contains some CA root certificates for OpenSSL extracted
from MozillaFirefox

Programs, libraries, and man pages for configuring and using the device
mapper.

PowerPC kernels are moving towards requiring a small Open
Firmware-style device tree as the only means of passing information
from bootloaders/firmware to the kernel. This does not require a full
Open Firmware implementation. DTC (Device Tree Compiler) is a tool to
create a static device tree, which is adequate for most embedded
systems (since their topology will not vary across reboots). DTC is
available via a git tree: git://ozlabs.org/srv/projects/dtc/dtc.git

eSpeak is a compact open source software speech synthesizer for English
and other languages.

eSpeak uses a "formant synthesis" method. This allows many languages to
be provided in a small size. The speech is clear, and can be used at
high speeds, but is not as natural or smooth as larger synthesizers
which are based on human speech recordings.

Mono with its 'resgen' program uses a design that Microsoft created and
that gives the power to the software vendor and not to the user: it
doesn't allow the end-user to create his own localisations for existing
programs. As documented in the gettext manual:

The advantages of the .dll' format over the .resources' format are:

1. 1. Freedom to localize: Users can add their own translations to an
application after it has been built and distributed. Whereas
when the programmer uses a ResourceManager' constructor provided
by the system, the set of .resources' files for an application
must be specified when the application is built and cannot be
extended afterwards.

2., 3., 4. ...

The included GNU.Gettext.dll gives the user this freedom back and the
also included msgfmt.net.exe and msgunfmt.net.exe handle PO files more
reliably than 'resgen'.

This package includes the tools needed to support message catalogs in
Java applications. It also includes example code for java, java+awt and
java+swing.

This package contains the intl library as well as tools that ease the
creation and maintenance of message catalogs. It allows you to extract
strings from source code. The supplied Emacs mode (po-mode.el) helps
editing these catalogs (called PO files, for portable object) and
adding translations. A special compiler turns these PO files into
binary catalogs.

Iperf was developed by NLANR/DAST as a modern alternative for
measuring maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth performance.
Iperf allows the tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics.
Iperf reports bandwidth, delay jitter, datagram loss.

Provides a suite of utilities to manage and configure SCSI devices
supported by the ipr SCSI storage device driver.

This package contains some small network tools for IPv4 and IPv6 like
rdisc, ping6, traceroute6, tracepath, and tracepath6.

iWatch monitor the filesystem's integrity in realtime and will send
alarm immediately to the system administrator when there is any changes
in the monitored filesystem. iWatch is written in Perl and based on
inotify, a file change notification system, a kernel feature that
allows applications to request the monitoring of a set of files against
a list of events.

Currently it can:

- run in command line mode as well as in daemon mode

- using an easy xml configuration file

- can watch directory recursively and watch new created directory

- can have a list of exceptions

- can use regex to compare the file/directory name

- can execute command if an event occures

- send email

- syslog

- print time stamp

Jigsaw Download, or jigdo, is an intelligent tool that can be used on
the pieces of any chopped-up big file to create a special template file
that makes reassembly of the file very easy for users who only have the
pieces. What makes jigdo special is that there are no restrictions on
what offsets or sizes the individual pieces have in the original big
image. This makes the program very well suited for distributing CD or
DVD images (or large zip or tar archives) because you can put the files
of the CD on an FTP server--when jigdo is presented the files along
with the template you generated, it is able to recreate the CD image.

kbdsniffd is a keyboard grabber daemon applications like screenreaders
(sbl) can connect via network socket to the daemon and set a modifier
key to enable the grabbing mode if the modifier key is pressed all
key-strokes are send to the connected application this is useful if a
blind user wants to use a screenreader without a braille display the
grabbed keys can be used to trigger special screenreader functions

The OpenSuSE KIWI Image System provides a complete operating system
image solution for Linux supported hardware platforms as well as for
virtualization systems like Xen.

Nih is a library of C helper functions.

It duplicates much of glib for no (really) good reason.

The OpenSSL Project is a collaborative effort to develop a robust,
commercial-grade, full-featured, and open source toolkit implementing
the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS
v1) protocols with full-strength cryptography. The project is managed
by a worldwide community of volunteers that use the Internet to
communicate, plan, and develop the OpenSSL toolkit and its related
documentation.

Derivation and License

OpenSSL is based on the excellent SSLeay library developed by Eric A.
Young and Tim J. Hudson. The OpenSSL toolkit is licensed under an
Apache-style license, which basically means that you are free to get it
and to use it for commercial and noncommercial purposes.

librelp is an easy to use library for the RELP protocol. RELP in turn provides
reliable event logging over the network (and consequently RELP stands for
Reliable Event Logging Protocol). RELP was initiated by Rainer Gerhards after
he was finally upset by the lossy nature of plain tcp syslog and wanted a cure
for all these dangling issues.

RELP (and hence) librelp assures that no message is lost, not even when
connections break and a peer becomes unavailable. The current version of RELP
has a minimal window of opportunity for message duplication after a session has
been broken due to network problems. In this case, a few messages may be
duplicated (a problem that also exists with plain tcp syslog). Future versions
of RELP will address this shortcoming.

Please note that RELP is a general-purpose, extensible logging protocol. Even
though it was designed to solve the urgent need of rsyslog-to-rsyslog
communication, RELP supports many more applications. Extensible command verbs
provide ample opportunity to extend the protocol without affecting existing
applications.

LILO boots Linux from your hard drive. It can also boot other operating
systems, such as MS-DOS and OS/2, and can even boot DOS from the second
hard drive. The configuration file is /etc/lilo.conf.

The PowerPC variant can be used on new PowerMacs and CHRP machines.

The ix86 variant comes with Memtest86, offering an image that can be
booted to perform a memory test.
