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.

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.

FOLDOC dictionary database

This package contains the FOLDOC, the Free On Line Dictionary of Computing, supplemented by a number of Debian-specific definitions, formatted for use by the dictionary server in the dictd package.

This package will be of limited use without the server found in the dictd package.

This package contains the GNU version of the Collaborative International Dictionary of English, formatted for use by the dictionary server in the dictd package. The GCIDE contains the full text of the 1913 Webster's Unabridged Dictionary, supplemented by many definitions from WordNet, the Century Dictionary, 1906, and many additional definitions contributed by volunteers.

The definitions in the core of this dictionary are at least 85 years old, so they can not be expected to be politically correct by contemporary standards, and no attempt has been, or will be, made to make them so.

This package will be of limited use without the server found in the dictd package, or another RFC 2229 compliant server.

dict package for The Jargon Lexicon

The Jargon File is a comprehensive compendium of hacker slang illuminating many aspects of hackish tradition, folklore, and humor.

This package includes "The Jargon Lexicon" (main section of The Jargon File, version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003), formatted for use by the dictionary server in the dictd package.

The complete Jargon File is available in the jargon-text package.

Largest and most comprehensive thesaurus

Moby Thesaurus is the largest and most comprehensive thesaurus data source in English available for commercial use. This second edition has been thoroughly revised adding more than 5,000 root words (to total more than 30,000) with an additional _million_ synonyms and related terms (to total more than 2.5 _million_ synonyms and related terms).

This is formatted for use by the dictionary server in the dictd package.

Dictionary of computer related acronyms -- dict format

compression utility for dictionary databases

This package provides a utility to compress dictionary databases with the LZ77 algorithm in a manner which is completely compatible with gzip(1), but using an extension that allows for random access to chunks of about 57kB without the overhead of decompressing the entire file.

This package also includes dictunzip, to decompress dictzipped files, and dictzcat, for viewing dictzipped files.

produces graph of changes introduced by a diff file

This program is a simple filter that reads the output of the 'diff' program, and produces a histogram of the total number of lines that were changed. It is useful for scanning a patch file to see which files were changed.

File comparison utilities

The diffutils package provides the diff, diff3, sdiff, and cmp programs.
