These manpages give you the most important information about Chart. There
is also a complete documentation (Documentation.pdf) within the Chart
package. Look at it to get more information. This module is an attempt to
build a general purpose graphing module that is easily modified and
expanded. I borrowed most of the API from Martien Verbruggen's GIFgraph
module. I liked most of GIFgraph, but I thought it was to difficult to
modify, and it was missing a few things that I needed, most notably
legends. So I decided to write a new module from scratch, and I've designed
it from the bottom up to be easy to modify. Like GIFgraph, Chart uses
Lincoln Stein's GD module for all of its graphics primitives calls.

This module adds XPath-style matching to your object trees. This means that
you can find nodes using an XPath-esque query with 'match()' from anywhere
in the tree. Also, the 'xpath()' method returns a unique path to a given
node which can be used as an identifier.

To use this module you must already have an OO implementation of a tree.
The tree must be a true tree - all nodes have a single parent and the tree
must have a single root node. Also, the order of children within a node
must be stable.

*NOTE:* This module is not yet a complete XPath implementation. Over time I
expect the subset of XPath supported to grow. See the SYNTAX documentation
for details on the current level of support.

This package contains specifications for permissions of specific files,
directories, and devices depending on the local security settings. The
local security setting (easy, secure, or paranoid) can be configured in
/etc/sysconfig/security.

This package contains two recovery/ forensic tools:

TestDisk checks and recovers deleted partitions. It understands all
common filesystem formats.

PhotoRec is a file data recovery software designed to recover lost
files including video, documents and archives from hard disks and CD
Rom and lost pictures (Photo Recovery) from digital camera memory.
PhotoRec ignores the filesystem and goes after the underlying data, so
it works even if your media's filesystem is severely damaged or
reformatted.

Different default privilege settings depending on local configuration

The prelink program is a utility that modifies shared libraries and
executables in the ELF format so that far less relocations need to be
resolved at run time. This decreases program start-up time.

You can enable prelink support via the YaST sysconfig editor or in
/etc/sysconfig/prelink.

Be aware that prelink modifies all libraries and executables on your
system. Applications which monitor changes in files will no longer
work.

This package contains a small configuration file of the rt2860 driver,
currently read by the kernel module. In later versions this will go
away.

socat is a relay for bidirectional data transfer between two
independent data channels. Each of these data channels may be a file,
pipe, device (serial line etc. or a pseudo terminal), a socket (UNIX,
IP4, IP6 - raw, UDP, TCP), an SSL socket, proxy CONNECT connection, a
file descriptor (stdin etc.), the GNU line editor, a program, or a
combination of two of these.

This package contains the gpg key that is used to sign official SuSE
rpm packages. It will be installed as a keyring in
/usr/lib/rpm/gnupg/pubring.gpg. Administrators who wish to add their
own keys to verify against should use the following commandline command
to add the key to the keyring as used by RPM:

gpg --no-options --no-default-keyring \ --keyring
/usr/lib/rpm/gnupg/pubring.gpg --import

Trusted Boot (tboot) is an open source, pre-kernel/VMM module that uses
Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology (Intel(R) TXT) to perform a measured
and verified launch of an OS kernel/VMM.

TOMOYO userland utilities.

Trusted Computing is a set of specifications published by the Trusted
Computing Group (TCG). The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is the
hardware component for Trusted Computing. The tpm-tools package
provides tools for enablement and configuration of the TPM and
associated interfaces. Also look inside the trousers package for more
software for TC.

The trousers package provides a TSS implementation through the help of
a user-space daemon, the tcsd, and a library Trousers aims to be
compliant to the 1.1b and 1.2 TSS specifications as available from the
Trusted Computing website http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/.

The package needs the /dev/tpm device file to be present on your
system. It is a character device file major 10 minor 224, 0600 tss:tss.

udisks-glue is a tool that can associate udisks events to user-defined
actions. In that sense, udisks-glue is almost "glue code"[1], hence the name.

udisks (formely known as DeviceKit-disks) is an abstraction layer on top of
the Linux disks subsystems that, in conjunction with the other DeviceKit
subprojects, aims to be a replacement for the now almost defunct HAL project.

Like most other recent Linux desktop frameworks, udisks exposes its API via
DBus to its clients (often desktop environments). Users wishing to have more
control about what happens when specific disk-related events often have to use
a tool like halevt[2] or ivmon[3], which work on top of HAL. Now that HAL is
no longer being actively developed and most distributions are considering
dropping support for it, those users will have to migrate to a new tool, and
udisks-glue might as well fill that gap.

udisks-glue should eventually offer the most useful features found in the
aforementioned projects. As of now, however, only the most basic functionality
is available (mounting and unmounting removable media). Contributions are
welcome.

Utempter is a utility that allows non-privileged applications such as
terminal emulators to modify the utmp database without having to be
setuid root.

An MS Windows emulator, consisting of both runtime and source
compatibility functions. You can run your MS executables with it and
write your Windows programs under Linux and link against the WINE
libraries.

It is not necessary to have a Windows installation to run WINE.

Refer to /usr/share/doc/packages/wine/README.SuSE. There is more
documentation available in that directory. Read 'man wine' for further
information.

You can invoke wine by entering 'wine program.exe'. Configure it by
running 'winecfg'.

This package contains the prepackaged Win32 Gecko rendering engine for use by Wine.

This package contains the basic X.Org terminal program.

zsync is a implementation of rsync over HTTP. It allows updating of files from
a remote Web server without requiring a full download or a special remote
server application. It uses a metafile, which is created on the server,
to determine which parts of a file the user already has; it then downloads
the remaining parts via HTTP. No special server or Web server module is
needed. It also works with gzip files, and content on the server can be
compressed to further reduce download times.

This is still for testing atm. It already builds against the 12.2 branched off project which is not final.

This is a project clone to build entire openSUSE:12.2 for the PowerPC (PPC) architecture.

This project is used to publish the official 12.2 updates.

ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for
delivering ACPI events. It listens to a file (/proc/acpi/event) and,
when an event occurs, executes programs to handle the event. The start
script loads all needed modules.

Configure it in /etc/sysconfig/powermanagement.

Bugowner

AIDE is an intrusion detection system that checks file integrity.

Cabinet (.CAB) files are a form of archive, which Microsoft uses to
distribute their software and things like Windows Font Packs.
cabextract can be used to unpack these files.
