avrdude is a tool for avr microcontrollers and drives many hardware
in-system programmers. avrdude allows you to program your
microcontroller through the parallel port of your computer.

BRLTTY is a background process (daemon) which provides access to the
Linux/Unix console (when in text mode) for a blind person using a
refreshable braille display. It drives the braille display and provides
complete screen review functionality.

Calibre is an ebook library manager. It can view, convert and catalog

metadata for your books. It can download newspapers and convert them
into ebooks for convenient reading. It is cross platform, running on

Chrpath allows you to modify the dynamic library load path (rpath) of
compiled programs. Currently, only removing and modifying the rpath is
supported. It cannot extend or add an rpath.

The crda binary provides access to the wireless-regdb to the kernel
through udev.

This package contains firmware binaries needed for Intel PRO/Wireless
2100/2200BG (aka Centrino) WLAN cards. The package is covered by the
Intel license. See http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=4.

Naming and discovery service that supports ISCSI initiators and
targets.

This package is required for running Intel PRO/Wireless 6050 wireless LAN adapters.

Some wireless LAN vendors refuse to release hardware specifications or
drivers for their products for operating systems other than Microsoft
Windows. The ndiswrapper project makes it possible to use such hardware
with Linux by means of a loadable kernel module that "wraps around"
NDIS (Windows network driver API) drivers.

Contains the complete official openSUSE documentation in HTML
format. It can be accessed via the Desktop's help centers.
The following manuals are included:

* Installation Quick Start

* Start-Up

* GNOME Quick Start

* GNOME User Guide

* KDE Quick Start

* KDE User Guide

* Application Guide

* Reference

* Security Guide

pam_fprint is a PAM module for fingerprint reader support to be used with
libfprint. A list of compatible fingerprint readers can be found at
http://reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Supported_devices .

SQLite is a small fast embedded SQL database engine.

DBD::SQLite embeds that database engine into a DBD driver, so
if you want a relational database for your project, but don`t
want to install a large RDBMS system like MySQL or PostgreSQL,
then DBD::SQLite may be just what you need.

It supports quite a lot of features, such as transactions (atomic
commit and rollback), indexes, DBA-free operation, a large subset
of SQL92 supported, and more.

The perl-Devel-Leak package

HTML::TokeParser::Simple is a subclass of HTML::TokeParser that uses
easy-to-remember method calls to work with the tokens. Rather than
try to remember a bunch of array indices or try to write a bunch of
constants for them, you can now do something like:

$token->is_start_tag( 'form' )

Instead of

$token->[0] eq 'S' and $token->[1] eq 'form'

Prima is an extensible Perl toolkit for multi-platform GUI development.
The toolkit contains a rich set of standard widgets and has emphasis on
2D image processing tasks. A Perl program using PRIMA looks and behaves
identically on X, Win32 and OS/2. The toolkit includes VB, a visual
builder and a graphic POD viewer.

Sometimes subroutines need to be overridden. In fact, your author does
this constantly for tests. Particularly when testing, using a
Mock Object can be overkill when all you want to do is override
one tiny, little function.

One recurring problem in modules that use Scalar::Util's "weaken"
function is that it is not present in the pure-perl variant.

While this isn't necesarily always a problem in a straight CPAN-based
Perl environment, some operating system distributions only include the
pure-Perl versions, don't include the XS version, and so weaken is then
"missing" from the platform, despite passing a dependency on
Scalar::Util successfully.

WWW::Mechanize, or Mech for short, helps you automate interaction with a
website. It supports performing a sequence of page fetches including following
links and submitting forms. Each fetched page is parsed and its links and
forms are extracted. A link or a form can be selected, form fields can be
filled and the next page can be fetched. Mech also stores a history of the
URLs you've visited, which can be queried and revisited.

the Postfish is a digital audio post-processing, restoration, filtering
and mixdown tool. It works as a linear audio filter, much like a rack
of analog effects. The first stage of the filter pipeline provides a
bank of configurable per-channel processing filters for up to 32 input
channels. The second stage provides mixdown of the processed input
audio into a group of up to eight output channels. The third stage
applies processing filters to the output group post-mixdown.

The powerpc-utils package provides a set of tools and utilities and utilities for maintaining and enabling certain features of Linux on Power.

Platform diagnostics for Linux for Power writes events reported by the
System p or System i platform firmware to the servicelog, provides
automated reponses to urgent events such as environmental conditions
and predictive failures, and provides notifications of the event to
system administrators or connected service frameworks. Some error log
analysis parameters can be configured in
/etc/ppc64-diag/ppc64-diag.config.

PS3 kernel utilities. Containing ps3-video-mode ps3-boot-game-os
ps3-dump-bootloader ps3-flash-util ps3-rtc-init.

The IA64 Linux kernel has a Software Abstraction Layer (SAL). One of
SAL's tasks is to record machine problems such as CMC (correctable
machine checks), CPE (correctable platform errors), MCA (machine check
architecture) and INIT (cpu initialized after boot). These records are
provided by SAL to user space. salinfo saves and decodes CMC/CPE/MCA
and INIT records.

SuSE blinux is a screen reader for the Linux console. It supports
braille displays.

The goal of Speech Dispatcher project is to provide a high-level device
independent layer for speech synthesis through a simple, stable and
well documented interface.

What is a very high level GUI library to graphics, Speech Dispatcher is
to speech synthesis. The application neither needs to talk to the
devices directly nor to handle concurrent access, sound output and other
tricky aspects of the speech subsystem.
