WebP is an image format that does lossy compression of digital
photographic images. WebP consists of a codec based on VP8, and a
container based on RIFF. Webmasters, web developers and browser
developers can use WebP to compress, archive and distribute digital
images more efficiently.

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

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.

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.

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.

Pixman is a pixel manipulation library for X and cairo.

Pygobjects is an extension module for python that gives you access to
GLib's GObjects.

This package contains:

- The freedesktop.org shared MIME database spec.

- The merged GNOME and KDE databases, in the new format.

- The update-mime-database command, used to install new MIME data.

The default freedesktop.org sound theme following the XDG theming
specification. (http://0pointer.de/public/sound-theme-spec.html).

WebRTC is an open source project that enables web browsers with Real-Time
Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple Javascript APIs. The WebRTC
components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.

WebRTC implements the W3C's proposal for video conferencing on the web.

yelp-tools is a collection of scripts and build utilities to help create,
manage, and publish documentation for Yelp and the web. Most of the heavy
lifting is done by packages like yelp-xsl and itstool. This package just
wraps things up in a developer-friendly way.

This package contains XSL stylesheets that are used by the yelp help browser.

The Farsight project is an effort to create a framework to deal with
all known audio/video conferencing protocols. On one side it offers a
generic API that makes it possible to write plugins for different
streaming protocols, on the other side it offers an API for clients to
use those plugins.

The CELT codec is an experimental audio codec for use in low-delay
speech and audio communication.

Check is a unit test framework for C. It features a simple interfacefor
defining unit tests, limitating the developer the less possible. Tests
are run in a separate address space, so Check cancatch both, assertion
failures and code errors that cause segmentationfaults or other
signals. The output of unit tests can be used within source code
editors and IDEs.

This library provides an unified way to recalculate colors
in order to present alternative views on images for colorblind
people.

This package provides a PolicyKit helper to configure cups with
fine-grained privileges. For example, it's possible to let users
enable/disable printers without requiring a password, while still
requiring a password for editing printer settings.

D-Feet is a graphical D-Bus debugger. D-Bus is an RPC library used on
the Desktop. D-Feet can be used to inspect D-Bus objects of running
programs and invoke methods on those objects.

A library providing an efficient extensible abstraction for dealing
with different spell checking libraries.

eSpeak is a compact open source software speech synthesizer for English
and other languages.

eSpeak uses a "formant synthesis" method. This allows many languages to
be provided in a small size. The speech is clear, and can be used at
high speeds, but is not as natural or smooth as larger synthesizers
which are based on human speech recordings.

FFADO aims to provide a generic, open-source solution
to support FireWire(IEEE1394, iLink) based (semi-)
professional audio interfaces.
It's the successor of the FreeBoB project. FFADO is a
volunteer-based community effort, trying to provide Linux
with at least the same level of functionality that is
present on the other operating systems.
The range of FireWire Audio Devices that we would like
to support is broad: from pure audio interfaces over
mixed audio-control devices to DSP algorithm devices.

This library implements the algorithm as described in the "Unicode
Standard Annex #9, the Bidirectional Algorithm,
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr9/". FriBidi is exhaustively
tested against the Bidi Reference Code and, to the best of the
developers' knowledge, does notcontain any conformance bugs.

The API was inspired by the document "Bi-Di languages support - BiDi
API proposal" by Franck Portaneri, which he wrote as a proposal for
adding BiDi support to Mozilla.

This C library provides an API and ABI compatible file alteration
monitor mechanism compatible with FAM but not dependent on a system wide
daemon.
