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.

The Module Loading library offers the choice to use prelinked libraries
from your application out of a pool.

D-BUS notifications library.

libproxy offers the following features: * extremely small core
footprint (< 35K)

* no external dependencies within libproxy core (libproxy modules
may have dependencies)
* only 3 functions in the stable external API
* dynamic adjustment to changing network topology
* a standard way of dealing with proxy settings across all scenarios

Library for password quality checking and generating random passwords.

The libpwquality library purpose is to provide common functions for password quality checking and also scoring them based on their apparent randomness. The library also provides a function for generating random passwords with good pronounceability. The library supports reading and parsing of a configuration file.

In the package there are also very simple utilities that use the library function and PAM module that can be used instead of pam_cracklib. The module supports all the options of pam_cracklib.

This library was designed to make it easier to access web services that
claim to be "RESTful". A reasonable description is that a RESTful
service should have urls that represent remote objects, which methods
can then be called on.

It is comprised of two parts:

* the first aims to make it easier to make requests by providing a
wrapper around libsoup.
* the second aids with XML parsing by wrapping libxml2.

A set of extensions on top of GTK+ widgets, to provide extra
functionality.

This library implements a full callback system for use in widget
libraries, abstract interfaces, and general programming. It is the most
complete library of its kind with the ability to connect an abstract
callback to a class method, function, or function object. It contains
adaptor classes for connection of dissimilar callbacks and has an ease
of use unmatched by other C++ callback libraries.

Libsocialweb is a personal social data server, that can interact with
social web services, like Flickr, Last.fm, Twitter and Vimeo.

This library is based on the TiMidity decoder from SDL_sound library.
Purpose to create this library is to avoid unnecessary dependences.
SDL_sound requires SDL and some other libraries, that not needed to
process MIDI files. In addition libtimidity provides more suitable
API to work with MIDI songs, it enables to specify full path to the
timidity configuration file, and have function to retrieve meta data
from MIDI song.

The Window Navigator Construction Kit is a library that can be used to
write task lists, pagers, and similar GNOME programs.

libXML++ provides a C++ interface for XML files. It presently uses
libxml2 to access the XML files.

GLib/GObject wrapper for the SkyDrive and Hotmail REST APIs

LibMemphis provides a GObject based API to render OpenStreetMap data on
a cairo surface. Libmemphis implements the 'Slippy Map Tilename'
specification, like Mapnik and Osmarender.

It supports zoom level 12 to 18, projected with the Mercator projection.

Application for the GNOME desktop integrated in Nautilus, that allows
simple use of Nautilus shares without signing in as root.

Features: * A new entry in your Nautilus right-click menu with a
nice icon.

* A simple dialog to share your folder, which allows you to choose a
name and decide whether to make it read-only.

* Possibility to access it from the Properties tab of your folder.

* Possibility to see whether a share name already exists by simply
typing it.

* Nautilus displays a palm icon to visually show you which folders are
shared.

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.

PAN is a very powerful newsreader. Its user interface is loosely based
on other popular newsreaders.

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.

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.
