Translations by Carlos Perelló Marín

Gendoc generates documentation from Python source code in different formats. Currently it can generate HTML, MIF, MML and plain old ascii (MIF and MML are FrameMaker formats). If you want to generate HTML files, I strongly suggest you grab a copy of Robin Friedrich's HTMLgen package, with which gendoc generates quite nice pages, optionally with frames.

Advanced Maryland Automatic Network Disk Archiver (Libs)

This package contains libraries required by the amanda client and server packages.

Maintain Debian packages in a package pool

apt-move is used to move a collection of Debian package files into a proper archive hierarchy as is used in the official Debian archive. It is intended as a tool to help manage the apt-get(8) file cache, but could be configured to work with any collection of Debian packages.

Running apt-move periodically will assist in managing the resulting partial mirror by optionally removing obsolete packages, and creating valid local Packages.gz files. It can also build a partial or complete local mirror of a Debian binary distribution (including an ``installed-packages only'' mirror).

package search by file and on-demand package installation tool

auto-apt checks the file access of programs running within its environments, and if a program tries to access a file known to belong in an uninstalled package, auto-apt will install that package using apt-get. This feature requires apt and sudo to work.

Fast lookup in BibTeX bibliography data bases

bibindex converts a .bib file to a .bix file, which is a compact binary representation of the .bib file containing hash tables for fast lookup, as well as byte offset positions into the corresponding .bib file.

biblook provides an interactive lookup facility using the .bix and .bib files. It verifies that the file version number and bibindex version number match its own values, and also compares the file time stamps so that it can detect whether the .bix file is out-of-date with respect to the .bib file. In either case, execution terminates.

This Debian package features a command line history mechanism through the GNU readline library.

a mail notification tool

biff is a small program that prints a message to your terminal when new email arrives. Actually, the message is printed by the comsat daemon, and biff just enables/disables the u+x permission flag for the terminal, which comsat uses to determine whether or not to write to your terminal.

By default, the biff service is disabled. To use biff email notification, you must enable this service by running 'update-inetd --enable biff' after the package is installed. You may also need to modify the configuration of your mail transport agent to enable comsat notification.

Buffered audio file player/recorder

The bplay package provides a simple command-line utility for playing and recording audio files in raw sample, VOC and WAV formats.

To use this program you need a soundcard of some kind and the appropriate driver configured into your kernel.

When run the program creates two processes which share a memory buffer. It does reading/writing on the disk and the sound device simultaneously, in order to be less liable to `pause' because the disk is too slow or too busy.

User daemon that tracks URLs looked at and logs them

Browser-history came from the will to overcome a Netscape bug: there is no global history, and if you close a window, its whole history is lost. For people browsing lots of sites, having the possibility of backtracking to where one has been before means that you don't have to put everything in your bookmarks file. If you are not sure if a site may be worth remembering, don't add it in your bookmarks. If you need it later, just browse your history files.

It works with: Netscape Navigator, Arena, and Amaya. Support for `browser-history' can easily be added to other browsers, provided you can program and have the browser sources.

A manual page and simple documentation will be installed in /usr/share/doc/browser-history/browser-history.html, along with a simple CGI interface to grep the history log and display the result. The optional CGI program requires `cgiwrap' or Apache configured with `suexec'.

CDDB DiscID utility

cd-discid is a backend utility to get CDDB discid information from a CD-ROM disc.

The GNU C preprocessor

Shoot-em-up a la galaxian

Note: criticalmass uses OpenGL, and will probably not run well if you do not have a 3d accelerator which is supported by X.

criticalmass, aka critter, is a shoot-'em-up in the style of Galaxian with very colorful and smooth graphics (provided that you have 3d acceleration)

Attach/detach from interactive processes across the network

detachtty lets you run interactive programs non-interactively, and connect to them over the network when you do need to interact with them. It's designed for long-running Lisp processes. Unlike screen, it works in emacs comint modes, and unlike qcmu, it deals correctly with passing on a SIGINT sent to it. Needs ssh for operation over the net.

Linux HOWTOs in German

This package installs the German versions of the current Linux HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs on your Debian system. The version number reflects the month in which doc-linux-de was created.

Linux docs in Polish: HOWTO - ascii version

This package installs the Polish versions of Linux HOWTO and mini-HOWTO documents (JTZ project) on your Debian system. The version number reflects the packaging date.

All files are available at ftp://ftp.jtz.org.pl/JTZ/ (with versions in ascii, html, dvi, ps and sgml formats).

SYSV and DOS filename conflicts check

Checks filenames for conflicts under 14-character SYSV and 8.3 DOS limitations.

4.4bsd dump and restore for ext2 filesystems

Dump examines files on a filesystem and determines which files need to be backed up. These files are copied to the given disk, tape or other storage medium for safe keeping.

The restore command performs the inverse function of dump. A full backup of a file system may be restored and subsequent incremental backups layered on top of it. Single files and directory subtrees may be restored from full or partial backups.

Manipulate .dvi files

Allows you to select, change the order, and/or shift the pages in a .dvi file.

Library of commonly-used Emacs functions

Elib is designed to be for Elisp programs what libg++ is for C++ programs: a collection of useful routines which don't have to be reinvented each time a new program is written.
