correctly read (or write) a region of a block device

devio is a command line program to read correctly from mtd character (and other block) devices. devio allows access to specific regions of the device and allows output of data from specific locations. The primary difference between devio and other command line utilities, such as dd and cat, is that it is not stream based - it writes directly into the object rather than reading and writing a stream of data.

debhelper extension for the apport crash report system

This package provides a debhelper extension to make it easier for other packages to include apport hooks.

Debhelper addon to track package versions used to build a package

This script is designed to be run at build-time, and registers in a file the list of packages declared as build-time dependencies, as well as build-essential packages, together with their versions, as installed in the build machine.

This will hopefully help to track packages (auto-)built with package versions which are known to be buggy, and, more generally, to find out whether a package needs to be rebuilt because of a significant change in a package it has a build-time dependency on.

Debhelper addon for debian-installer

This debhelper addon automates various specialised tasks needed to build packages that form part of the Debian installer (d-i).

tool that converts source archives into Debian package source

This package allows you to take a standard (or upstream) source package and convert it into a format that will allow you to build Debian packages.

After answering a few questions, dh_make will then provide a set of templates that, after some small editing, will allow you to create a Debian package.

helper tools for maintaining OCaml-related Debian packages

dh-ocaml is a set of tools and documents to help maintaining Debian packages related to the Objective Caml (OCaml) programming language.

DHCP client

This is the client from version 3 of the Internet Software Consortium's implementation of DHCP. For more information visit http://www.isc.org.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol like BOOTP (actually dhcpd includes much of the functionality of bootpd). It gives client machines "leases" for IP addresses and can automatically set their network configuration. If your machine depends on DHCP (especially likely if it's a workstation on a large network, or a laptop, or attached to a cable modem), keep this or another DHCP client installed.

Extra documentation can be found in the package dhcp3-common.

common files used by all the dhcp3* packages

This package contains the files used by all the packages from ISC DHCP version 3.

API for accessing and modifying the DHCP server and client state

OMAPI is an API for accessing and modifying the DHCP server and client state.

DHCP server for automatic IP address assignment

This is the server from version 3 of the Internet Software Consortium's implementation of DHCP. For more information, visit http://www.isc.org.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol like BOOTP (actually dhcpd includes much of the functionality of bootpd). It gives client machines "leases" for IP addresses and can automatically set their network configuration.

This server can handle multiple ethernet interfaces.

Diagram editor (common files)

This package contains hardware independent files common to dia and dia-gnome

Diagram editor (GNOME version)

This package contains the GNOME version of Dia.

Diagram editor (library files)

Dia is an editor for diagrams, graphs, charts etc. There is support for UML static structure diagrams (class diagrams), Entity-Relationship diagrams, network diagrams and much more. Diagrams can be exported to postscript and many other formats.

This package contains library files common to dia and dia-gnome

dictionary client

This package provides a client application to query a dictd server. The client-server protocol is TCP-based; the server may then be local or accessed through the network.

The DICT Development Group maintains several public servers which can be accessed from any machine connected to the Internet. The default configuration is to query one of these servers first. This may be changed in the configuration file /etc/dictd/dict.conf.

This package also provides dictl, which allows using UTF-8 encoded dictionaries with terminals that do not support UTF-8.
