The compressed loopback device or cloop is a module for the Linux
kernel. It adds support for transparently decompressed, read-only
block devices. It is not a compressed file system in itself.

Coccinelle is a program matching and transformation engine which
provides the language SmPL (Semantic Patch Language) for specifying
desired matches and transformations in C code. Coccinelle was
initially targeted towards performing collateral evolutions in Linux.
Such evolutions comprise the changes that are needed in client code
in response to evolutions in library APIs, and may include
modifications such as renaming a function, adding a function argument
whose value is somehow context-dependent, and reorganizing a data
structure. Beyond collateral evolutions, Coccinelle is successfully
used (by us and others) for finding and fixing bugs in systems code.

The conntrack-tools are a set of tools targeted at system
administrators. They are conntrack, the userspace command line
interface, and conntrackd, the userspace daemon. The tool conntrack
provides a full featured interface that has replaced the old procfs
interface. Using conntrack, you can view and manage the in-kernel
connection tracking state table from userspace. On the other hand,
conntrackd covers the specific aspects of stateful firewalls to
enable highly available scenarios, and can be used as statistics
collector as well.

The Latin Modern fonts are derived from the famous Computer Modern fonts designed by Donald E. Knuth and first published by the American Matematical Society (AMS) in 1997. One of the main extensions is the
addition of an extensive set of diacritical characters, covering many scripts based on the Latin character set.

DeuTex is a wad composer for Doom, Heretic, Hexen and Strife. It can be used to extract the lumps of a wad and save them as individual files. Conversely, it can also build a wad from separate files. When extracting a lump to a file, it does not just copy the raw data, it converts it to an appropriate format (such as PPM for graphics, Sun audio for samples, etc.). Conversely, when it reads files for inclusion in pwads, it does the necessary conversions (for example, from PPM to Doom picture format). In addition, DeuTex has functions such as merging wads, etc. If you're doing any wad hacking beyond level editing, DeuTex is a must.

A firewalling tool to transparently filter network traffic passing a
bridge. The filtering possibilities are limited to link layer filtering
and some basic filtering on higher network layers. The ebtables tool
can be used together with the other Linux filtering tools, like
iptables. There are no incompatibility issues.

The elftoaout utility converts a static ELF binary to a static a.out
binary. If you are using an ELF system on a SPARC, you will need to
run elftoaout on the kernel image so that the SPARC PROM can boot the
image.

GAA is a code generator that turns GAA language expressions into C
code which then analyze the arguments and creates program help
descriptions.

GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several
petabytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA
or TCP/IP interconnect into one large parallel network file system.
GlusterFS is one of the most sophisticated file systems in terms of
features and extensibility. It borrows a powerful concept called
Translators from GNU Hurd kernel. Much of the code in GlusterFS is in
user space and easily manageable.

GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file or
block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to
rescue data in case of read errors.

It is more memory and time efficient than dd_rescue+dd_rhelp on disks
with more than a few hundred bad sectors.

Partitioning software for GPT disks and to repair MBR
disks. The gdisk and sgdisk utilities (in the gdisk
package) are GPT-enabled partitioning tools; the
fixparts utility (in the fixparts package) fixes some
problems with MBR disks that can be created by buggy
partitioning software.

The gSOAP toolkit provides a cross-platform software development toolkit for C and C++ server and client Web service applications, and simplifies the overall use of XML in any type of application. The toolkit supports SOAP 1.1/1.2 RPC
encoding and document/literal styles, WSDL 1.1, MTOM/MIME/DIME attachments (streaming), SOAP-over-UDP, request-response and one-way messaging. The toolkit also supports WS-Addressing and WS-Security, with several other WS-* available or under development. See the official open-source gSOAP website http://gsoap2.sourceforge.net for project status and latest news.

This program is a file viewer, editor and analyzer for text, binary,
and (especially) executable files.

A collection of various tools. Some of the important ones:

* declone(1) — break hardlinks
* fd0ssh(1) — pipe for password-over-stdin support to ssh
* newns(8) — clone current filesystem namespace and start a process
* ofl(1) — open file lister (replaces fuser and lsof -m)
* tailhex(1) — hex dumper with tail-following support
* utmp_register(1) — make entries in the utmp/wtmp database
* vfontas(1) — VGA font file assembler

ICU is a set of C and C++ libraries that provides robust and
full-featured Unicode and locale support. The library provides calendar
support, conversions for many character sets, language sensitive
collation, date and time formatting, support for many locales, message
catalogs and resources, message formatting, normalization, number and
currency formatting, time zone support, transliteration, and word,
line, and sentence breaking, etc.

This package contains the Unicode character database and derived
properties along with converters and time zone data.

This package contains the runtime libraries for ICU. It does not
contain any of the data files needed at runtime and present in the icu
and icu-locales packages.

iksemel is an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) parser library designed for Jabber applications. It is coded in ANSI C for POSIX compatible environments, thus highly portable. It's a free software released under the GNU Lesser General Public License.

This package provides the tools ip, tc, and rtmon needed to use the new
and advanced routing options of the Linux kernel. The SUSE Linux
distribution has used this package for network setup since SuSE Linux
8.0.

ipset 6.x for kernel >= 2.6.39

Iptables is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the tables of IP
packet filter rules in the Linux kernel. This version requires kernel
2.4.0 or newer.
