nss-myhostname is a plugin for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS)
functionality of the GNU C Library (glibc) providing host name
resolution for the locally configured system hostname as returned by
gethostname(2). Various software relies on an always resolvable local
host name. When using dynamic hostnames this is usually achieved by
patching /etc/hosts at the same time as changing the host name. This
however is not ideal since it requires a writable /etc file system and
is fragile because the file might be edited by the administrator at
the same time. nss-myhostname simply returns all locally
configured public IP addresses, or -- if none are configured --
the IPv4 address 127.0.0.2 (wich is on the local loopback) and the
IPv6 address ::1 (which is the local host) for whatever system
hostname is configured locally. Patching /etc/hosts is thus no
longer necessary.

Note that nss-myhostname only provides a workaround for broken
software. If nss-myhostname is trigged by an application a message
is logged to /var/log/messages. Please check whether that's worth
a bug report then.

OpenAL is an audio library designed in the spirit of OpenGL--machine
independent, cross platform, and data format neutral with a clean,
simple C-based API.

OpenAL Soft is an alternative software implementation with a shared and
a cleaned up codebase, based on the windows reference implementation.

Tools to check ELF files for security relevant properties such as
non-executable stack.

PekSysTray is a system tray "notification area" dockapp similar to the GNOME
notification area applet. But it's designed for any window manager supporting
docking. It created blocks that contains the icons, when a block is full (no
more space for other icons) a new block is created.

the AnyEvent manpage provides a uniform interface to various event loops.
This allows module authors to use event loop functionality without forcing
module users to use a specific event loop implementation (since more than
one event loop cannot coexist peacefully).

The interface itself is vaguely similar, but not identical to the the Event
manpage module.

The goal of CGI::FormBuilder (FormBuilder) is to provide an easy
way for you to generate and process entire CGI form-based
applications. Its main features are:

Field Abstraction
Viewing fields as entities (instead of just params), where the
HTML representation, CGI values, validation, and so on are
properties of each field.

DWIMmery
Lots of built-in "intelligence" (such as automatic field typing),
giving you about a 4:1 ratio of the code it generates versus what
you have to write.

Built-in Validation
Full-blown regex validation for fields, even including
JavaScript code generation.

Template Support
Pluggable support for external template engines,
such as HTML::Template, Text::Template, Template Toolkit,
and CGI::FastTemplate.

Plus, the native HTML generated is valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

Net::DBus provides a Perl API for the DBus message system.

This module provides Perl bindings for GNU Libidn by Simon Josefsson
(http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/) in way that was heavily inspired by
PHP bindings for the same library done by Turbo Fredriksson (http://php-
idn.bayour.com/).

Protocol Buffers are a way of encoding structured data in an efficient yet
extensible format. Google uses Protocol Buffers for almost all of its internal
RPC protocols and file formats.

Qiv is a very small and pretty fast gdk/Imlib image viewer, designed to
view large images such as the JPEG files from today's high-megapixel
digicams.

It is super-easy to use: It creates only one window, containing only
the image to view, the SPACE key views the next image, BACKSPACE the
previous, "d" moves the current image to .qiv-trash/, "u" moves it back
and removes .qiv-trash/ if empty. "f" or the -f option toggles
full-screen mode and "m" toggles between maxpect mode (rescales images
to screen size while preserving aspect ratio) and unscaled mode with
unscaled 1:1 view with panning using cursor keys.

The mouse buttons can also be used in parallel to SPACE and BACKSPACE
to quickly flip thru images.

Furhter features are: * setting image as x11 background
(centered,tiled,stretched..), with user settable background color

* external "qiv-command" program support

* screensaver mode

* brightness/contrast/gamma correction

* real transparency

* slideshow (with random order if you want)

* flip horizontal/vertical, rotate left/right

* delete function (move to .qiv-trash/)

* jump to image number x, jump forward/backward x images

Sitecopy is useful for copying locally stored web sites to remote web
servers. The program will upload files which have changed locally to
the server and delete files from the server which have been removed
locally to keep the remote site synchronized with the local site, all
with a single command. The aim is to remove the hassle of uploading
and deleting individual files using an FTP client. FTP, WebDAV, and
HTTP-based authoring servers are supported.

The SuSE Meta PPP Daemon is the back-end for kinternet. It is required
for modem, ISDN, and DSL connections.

SuSEfirewall2 implements a packet filter that protects hosts and
routers by limiting which services or networks are accessible on the
host or via the router.

SuSEfirewall2 uses the iptables/netfilter packet filtering
infrastructure to create a flexible rule set for a stateful firewall.

Video Disk Recorder (VDR) is a digital satellite (DVB) receiver
program. It can record MPEG2 streams, as well as output the stream to
TV.

DVB Frontend Status Monitor is a plugin that displays some signal
information parameters of the current tuned channel on OSD. You can
zap through all your channels and the plugin should be monitoring
always the right frontend. The transponder and stream information
are also available in advanced display modes.

xine is a free multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs, and VCDs. It
also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from local
disk drives, and displays multimedia streamed over the Internet. It
interprets many of the most common multimedia formats available - and
some of the most uncommon formats, too.
