Translations by Stephan Woidowski

cron-like program that doesn't go by time

Computer language translation has become a common task. While compilers and tools for traditional computer languages (such as C or Java) are still being built, their number is dwarfed by the thousands of mini-languages for which recognizers and translators are being developed. Programmers construct translators for database formats, graphical data files (e.g., PostScript, AutoCAD), text processing files (e.g., HTML, SGML). ANTLR is designed to handle all of your translation tasks.

Each Apache Multi-Processing Module provides a different "flavor" of web server binary, compiled with a different processing model.

Apport intercepts program crashes, collects debugging information about the crash and the operating system environment, and sends it to bug trackers in a standardized form. It also offers the user to report a bug about a package, with again collecting as much information about it as possible.

This package extends Apport by some "symptom" scripts, so that bug reporters do not have to guess the correct package, but report problems based on symptoms that they have (like "sound problem"), through an interactive process.

transaction based package management service

The programs in this package are used to assemble, link and manipulate binary and object files. They may be used in conjunction with a compiler and various libraries to build programs.

This package includes header files and static libraries necessary to build programs which use the GNU BFD library, which is part of binutils. Note that building Debian packages which depend on the shared libbfd is Not Allowed.

Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a grammar description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a C program to parse that grammar. Once you are proficient with Bison, you may use it to develop a wide range of language parsers, from those used in simple desk calculators to complex programming languages.

Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: all properly-written Yacc grammars ought to work with Bison with no change. Anyone familiar with Yacc should be able to use Bison with little trouble. Documentation of the program is in the bison-doc package.

Documentation for the Bison parser generator

This package contains the PDF and Info documentation for Bison.

This package contains everything you need to use BLT with your Tcl/Tk scripts and Tcl/Tk-enabled apps.

BLT is a library of useful extensions for the Tcl language and the popular Tk graphical toolkit. It adds a vector and tree data type, background execution and some debugging tools to Tcl, and provides several new widgets for Tk, including graphs, bar-charts, trees, tabs, splines and hyper-links, as well as a new geometry manager, drag & drop support, and more.

This package contains the headers and libraries needed to extend or embed BLT.

Bluetooth tools and daemons

This package contains tools and system daemons for using Bluetooth devices.

This package contains a driver operate with the ALSA stack.

Access software for a blind person using a braille display

BRLTTY is a daemon which provides access to the Linux console (text mode) for a blind person using a braille display. It drives the braille display and provides complete screen review functionality.

collection of more utilities from FreeBSD

This package contains lots of small programs many people expect to find when they use a BSD-style Unix system.

This package used to contain whois and vacation, which are now distributed in their own packages. Also here was tsort, which is now in the "coreutils" package.

Basic utilities from 4.4BSD-Lite

Java scripting environment (BeanShell) Version 2

Java scripting environment (BeanShell) Version 2 (native code)

BeanShell is a small, free, embeddable, Java source interpreter with object scripting language features, written in Java. BeanShell executes standard Java statements and expressions, in addition to obvious scripting commands and syntax. BeanShell supports scripted objects as simple method closures like those in Perl and JavaScript(tm).

You can use BeanShell interactively for Java experimentation and debugging or as a simple scripting engine for you applications. In short: BeanShell is a dynamically interpreted Java, plus some useful stuff.

This package contains an informational list of packages which are considered essential for building Debian packages. This package also depends on the packages on that list, to make it easy to have the build-essential packages installed.

If you have this package installed, you only need to install whatever a package specifies as its build-time dependencies to build the package. Conversely, if you are determining what your package needs to build-depend on, you can always leave out the packages this package depends on.

This package is NOT the definition of what packages are build-essential; the real definition is in the Debian Policy Manual. This package contains merely an informational list, which is all most people need. However, if this package and the manual disagree, the manual is correct.

This package contains the bzip2 user manual.

easy to use distributed version control system

Merging in Bazaar is easy, as the implementation is able to avoid many spurious conflicts, deals well with repeated merges between branches, and is able to handle modifications to renamed files correctly.

Install python-paramiko if you are going to push branches to remote hosts with sftp, and python-pycurl if you'd like for SSL certificates always to be verified.

Collection of tools for bzr

This package contains a collection of plugins for bzr - a distributed version control system. Some of these tools may work their way into bzr itself at some point, and some are just convenient addons useful for day to day operations.

Pre Processor Pretty Printer for OCaml

This package contains the basic CamlP4 executables and libraries for pre-processing and pretty-printing OCaml sources both interactively and in a batch fashion.

CamlP4 is a Pre-Processor-Pretty-Printer for Objective Caml. It offers tools for syntax (Stream Parsers and Grammars) and the ability to modify the concrete syntax of the language (Quotations, Syntax Extensions).

common build system for Debian packages

This package contains the Common Debian Build System, an abstract build system based on Makefile inheritance which is completely extensible and overridable. In other words, CDBS provides a sane set of default rules upon which packages can build; any or all rules may be overridden as needed.
