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.

This package contains a library to render SVG (scalable vector
graphics) data. This format has been specified by the W3C (see
http://www.w3c.org).

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.

Libsoup is an HTTP client/server library for GNOME. It uses GObjects
and the glib main loop, to integrate well with GNOME applications.

Features:
* Both asynchronous (GMainLoop and callback-based) and synchronous APIs
* Automatically caches connections
* SSL Support using GnuTLS
* Proxy support, including authentication and SSL tunneling
* Client support for Digest, NTLM, and Basic authentication
* Server support for Digest and Basic authentication
* XML-RPC support

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.

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.

GNOME Keyring Manager is a program that keeps passwords and other
secrets for users. It is run as a daemon in the session, similar to
ssh-agent, and other applications can locate it by an environment
variable.

AA-lib is a low level gfx library. AA-lib does not require a graphics
device. In fact, there is no graphical output possible. AA-lib replaces
old-fashioned output methods with a powerful ASCII art renderer.

The accountsservice server provides a set of D-Bus interfaces for
querying and manipulating user account information.

The implementation is based on the useradd, usermod and userdel
commands.

Alacarte is a simple freedesktop.org compliant menu editor for GNOME
that lets you change your menus, simply and quickly. Just click and
type to edit, add, and delete any menu entry.

AT-SPI is a general interface for applications to make use of the
accessibility toolkit. This version is based on dbus.
