Involved Projects and Packages
netconsole is a kernel feature to log the dmesg output via the network.
The used network driver must support the polling function.
netconsole-server is a wrapper for insmod to load netconsole.o with the
correct options. Use netcat on the client side to receive the kernel
messages.
A interim network configuration library, currently implementing the
libnetcf interface for libvirt.
Command line tools for viewing and setting ACLs (Access Control Lists)
when using NFSv4 to access a remote filesystem. The remote filesystem
must also support ACLs.
Obex-Data-Server provides a obex dbus api. Used for bluetooth
applications to transfer and receive data.
For reference, read RFC2440. Due to some possible security problems,
the library also implements parts of
draft-ietf-openpgp-rfc2440bis-06.txt.
The aim of the library is not to replace any available OpenPGP version.
There is no real support for key management (sign, revoke, alter
preferences, etc.) and some other parts are only rudimentarily
available. The main purpose is to handle and understand OpenPGP packets
and to use basic operations. For example, to encrypt and decrypt, sign
and verify, and provide packet routines.
This package detects other OSes available on a system and outputs the results
in a generic machine-readable format. Support for new OSes and Linux
distributions can be added easily.
The PCRE library is a set of functions that implement regular
expression pattern matching using the same syntax and semantics
as Perl 5.
This tool allows you to edit Mac partition tables.
NOTE: This is **NOT** backwards compatible with the pre-1.99 versions.
This is entirely OO-based, hence any older scripts relying on the
old versions will need to be rewritten.
Provides modules: Net::Gen, Net::Inet, Net::TCP, Net::UDP, Net::UNIX,
Net::TCP::Server, and Net::UNIX::Server.
Net::IPv4Addr provides functions for parsing IPv4 addresses both in
traditional address/netmask format and in the new CIDR format. There
are also methods for calculating the network and broadcast address and
also to see check if a given address is in a specific network.
This module provides an object-oriented abstraction on top of IP addresses
or IP subnets, that allows for easy manipulations. Version 4.xx of
NetAdder::IP will will work older versions of Perl and does *not* use
Math::BigInt as in previous versions.
The internal representation of all IP objects is in 128 bit IPv6 notation.
IPv4 and IPv6 objects may be freely mixed.
This is an implementation of Term::ReadLine using the GNU
Readline/History Library. This package also has the interface with the
almost all functions and variables which are documented in the GNU
Readline/History Library Manual.
A parallel implementation of gzip for modern multi-processor,
multi-core machines
PolicyKit is a toolkit for defining and handling authorizations.
It is used for allowing unprivileged processes to speak to privileged
processes.
Powerpc32 is a simple utility for compiling PowerPC32 packages on
PowerPC64 machines. Powerpc32 creates an environment for the specified
program (shell) and all child processes. In the created environment,
uname -m returns ppc, so you can create 32 bit PowerPC programs.
pwgen generates random, meaningless but pronounceable and thus easy to
remember passwords. The also contained makepasswd gives even more
options which are more aimed at security.
Cool collection of 3D screensavers. Linux port of Really Slick Screensavers
This package contains the SuSE Advanced X-Configuration
This tool is for issuing SCSI-2 reservation and release commands, for
controlling exclusive access to a SCSI device that is shared between
more than one SCSI host adapter.
The spu-tools package contains user space tools for Cell/B.E.
Currently, it contain two tools: - spu-top: a tool like top to
watch the SPU's on a Cell BE System. It shows information about
SPUs and running SPU contexts.
- spu-ps: a tool like ps, which dumps a report on the currently running
SPU contexts.
A tree-like directory listing program with dircolors support
A full-featured C library optimized for size. uClibc (pronounced
yew-see-lib-see) is a C library for developing embedded Linux systems.
It is much smaller than the GNU C Library, but nearly all applications
supported by glibc also work perfectly with uClibc. Porting
applications from glibc to uClibc typically involves just recompiling
the source code. uClibc even supports shared libraries and threading.
udisks provides a daemon, D-Bus API and command line tools
for managing disks and storage devices.
The udisks package, second useless edition
