nss-mdns is a plug-in for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS)
functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing a hostname
resolution via Multicast DNS (aka Zeroconf, aka Apple Rendezvous, aka
Apple Bonjour), and effectively allowing name resolution by common
Unix/Linux programs in the ad-hoc mDNS domain .local.
nss-mdns provides only client functionality, which means that you have
to run a mDNS responder daemon separately from nss-mdns if you want to
register the local hostname via mDNS. I recommend Avahi.
By default, nss-mdns tries to contact a running avahi-daemon to resolve
hostnames and addresses and makes use of its superior record cacheing.
This package provides as much compatibility as possible for packages
installed into the old /opt/gnome prefix. The package installs the
/opt/gnome directory structure and configures system and GNOME
components to support this prefix.
This package deletes itself, if it does not find any useful files in
/opt/gnome. If you want to install this package, you need to have at
least one useful file in /opt/gnome or create it just now.
The Opus codec is designed for interactive speech and audio transmission over
the Internet. It is designed by the IETF Codec Working Group and incorporates
technology from Skype's SILK codec and Xiph.Org's CELT codec.
ORBit is a high-performance CORBA (Common Object Request Broker
Architecture) ORB (Object Request Broker). It allows programs to send
requests and receive replies from other programs, regardless of the
locations of the two programs. CORBA is an architecture that enables
communication between program objects, regardless of the programming
language they are written in or the operating system they run on.
You will need to install this package if you want to run programs that
use the CORBA technology ORBit implementation.
Orca is a free, open source, flexible, and extensible screen reader
that provides access to the graphical desktop via user-customizable
combinations of speech, braille, and/or magnification.
PackageKit is a system designed to make installing and updating
software on your computer easier. The primary design goal is to unify
all the software graphical tools used in different distributions, and
use some of the latest technology like PolicyKit to make the process
suck less.

PAN is a very powerful newsreader. Its user interface is loosely based
on other popular newsreaders.
Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis
on internationalization. It can be used anywhere that text layout
is needed.
Pango forms the core of text and font handling for GTK+.
pangomm provides a C++ interface to the pango library.
PulseAudio Preferences (paprefs) is a simple GTK based configuration
dialog for the PulseAudio sound server.
Please note that this program can only configure local servers, and
requires that a special module module-gconf is loaded in the sound
server.
PulseAudio Volume Control (pavucontrol) is a simple GTK based volume
control tool ("mixer") for the PulseAudio sound server. In contrast to
classic mixer tools this one allows you to control both the volume of
hardware devices and of each playback stream separately.
Pidgin is a chat program which lets you log in to accounts on multiple
chat networks simultaneously.
Pidgin is compatible with the following chat networks out of the box:
AIM, ICQ, Google Talk, Jabber/XMPP, MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, Bonjour,
Gadu-Gadu, IRC, Novell GroupWise Messenger, QQ, Lotus Sametime, SILC,
SIMPLE, MXit, MySpaceIM, and Zephyr. It can support many more with
plugins.
This is a gaim plugin which implements Off-the-Record (OTR)
Messaging. OTR allows you to have private conversations over IM
by providing: - Encryption
- No one else can read your instant messages.
- Authentication
- You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is.
- Deniability
- The messages you send do _not_ have digital signatures that are
checkable by a third party. Anyone can forge messages after a
conversation to make them look like they came from you. However,
_during_ a conversation, your correspondent is assured the
messages he sees are authentic and unmodified.
- Perfect forward secrecy
- If you lose control of your private keys, no previous conversation is
compromised.
A third-party plugin for the Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger.
It implements the extended version of SIP/SIMPLE used by various products:
* Microsoft Office Communications Server (OCS 2007/2007 R2 and newer)
* Microsoft Live Communications Server (LCS 2003/2005)
* Reuters Messaging
With this plugin you should be able to replace your Microsoft Office
Communicator client with Pidgin.
This package provides the icon set for Pidgin.
Pixman is a pixel manipulation library for X and cairo.
The pkg-config program is used to retrieve information about installed
libraries in the system. It is typically used to compile and link
against one or more libraries.
Planner is a project management tool for the GNOME desktop, for
planning, scheduling and tracking projects.
polkit-gnome provides an authentication agent for PolicyKit
that matches the look and feel of the GNOME desktop.
AT-SPI is a general interface for applications to make use of the
accessibility toolkit. This version is based on dbus.
This package contains the python bindings for AT-SPI.
Pygobjects is an extension module for python that gives you access to
GLib's GObjects.
Liblouis is an open-source braille translator and back-translator.
It features support for computer and literary braille, supports
contracted and uncontracted translation for many, many languages
and has support for hyphenation. New languages can easily be added
through tables that support a rule- or dictionary based approach.
Liblouis also supports math braille (Nemeth and Marburg). The
formatting of braille is provided by the companion project
liblouisxml.
Liblouis is based on the translation routines in the BRLTTY
screenreader for Linux. It has, however, gone far beyond these
routines. It is named in honor of Louis Braille.
Included are also tools for testing and debugging tables.
