Involved Projects and Packages
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.
NOTE: Automatically created during Factory devel project migration by admin.
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.
AT-SPI is a general interface for applications to make use of the
accessibility toolkit. This version is based on dbus.
This package contains the AT-SPI registry daemon. It provides a
mechanism for all assistive technologies to discover and interact
with applications running on the desktop.
The ATK library provides a set of accessibility interfaces. By
supporting the ATK interfaces, an application or toolkit can be used
with screen readers, magnifiers, and alternate input devices.
atkmm is the C++ binding for the ATK library.
This module is part of the GNOME C++ bindings effort.
Avahi is an implementation of the DNS Service Discovery and Multicast
DNS specifications for Zeroconf Computing. It uses D-BUS for
communication between user applications and a system daemon. The daemon
is used to coordinate application efforts in caching replies, necessary
to minimize the traffic imposed on networks.
The Avahi mDNS responder is now complete with features, implementing
all MUSTs and the majority of the SHOULDs of the mDNS and DNS-SD RFCs.
It passes all tests in the Apple Bonjour conformance test suite. In
addition, it supports some nifty things, like correct mDNS reflection
across LAN segments.

Brasero is an application to burn CD/DVDs for the GNOME Desktop. It is
designed to be as simple as possible and has some unique features to
enable users to create their discs easily and quickly.
It supports creating audio discs, data discs, burning ISO and other
image files, and duplicating discs.
Cairo is a vector graphics library with cross-device output support.
Currently supported output targets include the X Window System,
in-memory image buffers, and PostScript. Cairo is designed to produce
identical output on all output media while taking advantage of display
hardware acceleration when available.
This package provides a C++ interface for Cairo.
Caribou is a text entry and UI navigation application being developed
as an alternative to the Gnome On-screen Keyboard. The overarching goal
for Caribou is to create a usable solution for people whose primary way
of accessing a computer is a switch device.
