PolicyKit-gnome provides a D-Bus session bus service that is used to bring up authentication dialogs used for obtaining privileges.

GeoIP is a C library that enables the user to find the country that any IP address or hostname originates from. It uses a file based database.

This database simply contains IP blocks as keys, and countries as values and it should be more complete and accurate than using reverse DNS lookups.

IDLE is an Integrated Development Environment for Python. IDLE is written using Tkinter and therefore quite platform-independent.

The Algorithm::C3 module implements the C3 algorithm.

Perl module for merging hierarchies using the C3 algorithm

This library is a port of the auto-detection code in Mozilla.

Chardet takes a sequence of bytes in an unknown character encoding, and attempts to determine the encoding.

QPDF understands PDF files that use compressed object streams (supported by newer PDF applications) and can convert such files into those that can be read with older viewers. It can also be used for checking PDF files for structural errors, inspecting stream contents, or extracting objects from PDF files. QPDF is not PDF content creation or viewing software -- it does not have the capability to create PDF files from scratch or to display PDF files.

The libgucharmap library contains a Unicode browser widget; it is most prominently used by the "gucharmap" program. See the package of the same name for more information.

This package includes the command-line qpdf tools. It also contains the documentation.

standard XML documentation system for software and systems

QPDF is a program that can be used to linearize (web-optimize), encrypt (password-protect), decrypt, and inspect PDF files from the command-line. It does these and other structural, content-preserving transformations on PDF files, reading a PDF file as input and creating a new one as output. It also provides many useful capabilities to developers of PDF-producing software or for people who just want to look at the innards of a PDF file to learn more about how they work.

WARNING: THE NEON API IS NOT YET STABLE.

neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client library, with a C language API.

wmmisc is a simple dockapp that monitors the following: the amount of users logged in, the total number of processes, the number of running (or 'alive') processes, the total number of forks and the system load average.

Neon provides lower-level interfaces to directly implement new HTTP methods, and higher-level interfaces so that you don't have to worry about the lower-level stuff.

Python bindings for TDB

This package contains the Prelude shared library.

module to manipulate CPAN SIGNATURE files

Module::Build is a framework for easily building, testing and installing Perl packages. It is meant as a next-generation replacement for ExtUtils::MakeMaker and offers many additional features characteristic of a more modern install system, including simple subclassing for custom build actions.

Module::Signature is a Perl module that adds cryptographic authentications to CPAN distributions, via the special SIGNATURE file. It also includes various tools to sign distributions and to verify signatures and supports using many different cryptographic hashing algorithms.

mro::* interface compatibility for Perls < 5.9.5

Class::C3::XS is a Perl module designed to enhance the performance of the Class::C3 package (see libclass-c3-perl). It does so automatically and is not designed to be used directly; once installed, it should accelerate all programs that make use of Class::C3 itself.

The "mro" namespace provides several utilities for dealing with method resolution order and method caching in general in Perl 5.9.5 and higher.

Data::Section is a Perl module that provides an easy way to access multiple named chunks of line-oriented data in your module's DATA section. It was written to allow modules to store their own templates, but is probably useful for other purposes as well.

Because it is written in Pure Perl, it has very few external dependencies. In particular, it allows for installation of packages on systems without 'make' and will even work without a shell. Its only prerequisites are modules that are included with perl 5.6.0 and it is core as of perl 5.10.

Nettle is a cryptographic library that is designed to fit easily in more or less any context: In crypto toolkits for object-oriented languages (C++, Python, Pike, ...), in applications like LSH or GNUPG, or even in kernel space.

DateTime::TimeZone is a Perl module framework providing an interface to the Olson time zone database. It exposes the database as a set of modules, one for each time zone defined, allowing for various optimizations in doing time zone calculations.

Expect is a tool for automating interactive applications according to a script. Following the script, Expect knows what can be expected from a program and what the correct response should be. Expect is also useful for testing these same applications. And by adding Tk, you can also wrap interactive applications in X11 GUIs. An interpreted language provides branching and high-level control structures to direct the dialogue. In addition, the user can take control and interact directly when desired, afterward returning control to the script.

Rhythmbox is a very easy to use music playing and management program which supports a wide range of audio formats (including mp3 and ogg). Originally inspired by Apple's iTunes, the current version also supports Internet Radio, iPod integration and generic portable audio player support, Audio CD burning, Audio CD playback, music sharing, and Podcasts.

The stylesheets are modular in the sense that you can extend and, to some extent, customize them. The documentation is included in a separate package.

This package contains the French translation of Debian Developer's Reference (package: developers-reference), a set of guidelines and best practices which has been established by and for the community of Debian developers. If you are not a Debian developer, you probably do not need this package.

module with common regular expressions

These are modular XSL stylesheets for processing documents composed with DocBook 5 XML and its derivatives. Unlike in docbook-xsl the DocBook namespace prefix has been added to element names in pattern matches and expressions. However processing of DocBook 4 documents is also possible with these stylesheets. For a more detailed explanation read http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/ProcesingDb5.html.

Regexp::Common is a Perl module that exports a single hash ('%RE') that stores or generates commonly needed regular expressions.

The module currently provides the following patterns:

Generate scripting interfaces to C/C++ code

This package consists of R functions developed at the Political Science Computational Laboratory at Stanford University; it currently includes models for count data (hurdle regression and zero-inflated negative binomial and Poisson models), ordinal probit and logit (also available in MASS via polr), and an item-response theory model. Also included are Vuong tests for non-nested hypothesis testing and convenience functions for handling roll-call vote matrices.

library to provide CD/DVD writing functions

GNU R package for discrete data models

libdiscid is a library for creating MusicBrainz DiscIDs from audio CDs. It reads a CD's table of contents (TOC) and generates an identifier which can be used to lookup the CD at MusicBrainz (http://musicbrainz.org). Additionally, it provides a submission URL for adding the DiscID to the database.

wmgtemp is a dock app (a 64x64 window) which graphically displays the CPU and SYS temperatures of motherboards supported by lm_sensors.

DDCcontrol is a tool used to control monitor parameters, like brightness and contrast, without using the OSD (On Screen Display) and the buttons in front of the monitor.

This package includes the client binaries and the additional tools innotop and mysqlreport.
