wxWidgets is a free C++ library for cross-platform GUI. This package contains python bindings for wxWidgets.

quvi is a commandline tool for parsing video download links. It supports
Youtube and other similar video Web sites.

This package converts various character sets.

rzsz allows you to use "sz filename" to send a file to your local
system.

This package is based on the package 'sampleicc' from project 'home:bekun'.

SampleICC provides an open source platform independent C++ library for reading, writing, manipulating, and applying ICC profiles along with applications that make use of this library.

Sed takes text input, performs one or more operations on it, and
outputs the modified text. Sed is typically used for extracting parts
of a file using pattern matching or for substituting multiple
occurrences of a string within a file.

SILC Toolkit is a software development toolkit which provides full SILC
protocol implementation for application developers. The SILC Toolkit
provides SILC Client Library, SILC Protocol Core Library, SILC Key
Exchange Library, SILC Crypto Library, SILC Math Library, SILC Utility
Library, as well as other libraries. The SILC Toolkit also includes a
full reference manual and developer guide with examples and tutorials.

SILC (Secure Internet Live Conferencing) is a protocol which provides
secure conferencing services on the Internet over insecure channels.
SILC is similar to IRC, as they both provide conferencing services and
almost have the same commands. However, they differ internally: unlike
IRC, SILC is secure and has an entirely different network model
compared to IRC.

Site configuration for autoconf based configure scripts provides smart
defaults for paths that are not specified.

SMARTmontools controls and monitors storage devices using the
Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology System (S.M.A.R.T.)
built into ATA, SATA and SCSI Hard Drives. This is used to check the
hard drive reliability and to predict drive failures. The suite
contains two utilities. The first, smartctl, is a command line utility
designed to perform simple S.M.A.R.T. tasks. The second, smartd, is a
daemon that periodically monitors the smart status and reports errors
to syslog. The package is compatible with the ATA/ATAPI-3 to -7
specification. The package is intended to incorporate as much "vendor
specific" and "reserved" information as possible about disk drives. The
commands man smartctl and man smartd will provide more information.

SoundTouch is an open source audio processing library that allows
changing the sound tempo, pitch and playback rate parameters
independently from each other.
*Easy-to-use implementation of time-stretch, pitch-shift and sample
rate transposing routines.
*High-performance object-oriented C++ implementation.
*Clear and easy-to-use programming interface via a single C++ class.
*Supported audio data format : 16Bit integer or 32bit floating point
PCM mono/stereo
*Capable of real-time audio stream processing:
input/output latency max. ~ 100 ms.
Processing 44.1kHz/16bit stereo sound in realtime requires a 133 Mhz
Intel Pentium processor or better.
*Additional assembler-level and Intel-MMX instruction set optimizations
for Intel x86 compatible processors, offering several times increase
in the processing performance.

This is a tool providing update of translations using available
upstream resources.

The tool tool is intended for use during package compilation as a first
command after unpacking of source code.

For more see README and HOWTO.

This package also includes translation update data files.

GNU VCDImager is a full-featured mastering suite for authoring,
disassembling and analyzing Video CDs and Super Video CDs.

The following features are available so far:

Support for Video CD 1.1 and 2.0 disc formats

Support for the Super Video CD 1.0 disc format

Full PBC (playback control) support (play lists, selection lists and
end lists)

Support for segment play items

Automatic padding of MPEG streams on the fly

Support for 99-minute (out-of-specification) CD-R media

Extraction of Video CDs into files (incl. the PBC information)

Use of XML for the description of Video CDs

VIGRA stands for "Vision with Generic Algorithms". It is a novel
computer vision library that puts its main emphasis on customizable
algorithms and data structures. By using template techniques similar to
those in the C++ Standard Template Library, you can easily adapt any
VIGRA component to the needs of your application, without giving up
execution speed.

WavPack is a completely open audio compression format providing
lossless, high-quality lossy, and unique hybrid compression modes.
Although the technology is loosely based on previous versions of
WavPack, the new version 4 format has been designed from the ground up
to offer unparalleled performance and functionality.

By default, lossless mode WavPack acts just like a WinZip compressor
for audio files. However, unlike MP3 or WMA encoding which can affect
the sound quality, not a single bit of the original information is
lost, so there is no chance of degradation. This makes lossless mode
ideal for archiving audio material or any other situation where quality
is paramount. The compression ratio depends on the source material, but
generally is between 30% and 70%.

The hybrid mode provides all the advantages of lossless compression
with an additional bonus. Instead of creating a single file, this mode
creates both, a relatively small, high-quality lossy file that can be
used all by itself, and a "correction" file that (when combined with
the lossy file) provides full lossless restoration. For some users this
means never having to choose between lossless and lossy compression!

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.

X Color Management tools

The Xcm tools are colour management helpers for Xorg.
A EDID parser and a colour management events observer are included.

The xlock utility locks your X Window System session and runs a screen
saver until a password is entered.

The xscreensaver program waits until the keyboard and mouse have been
idle for a period of time, and then runs a graphics demo chosen at
random. It turns off as soon as there is any mouse or keyboard
activity. It can also lock the screen immediately, after a longer idle
period, or on demand.

The xscreensaver package consists of two parts: the screensaver and the
"driver" or "daemon", which detects idleness and does locking, and the
many graphics demos that are launched by xscreensaver.

Any X program that can draw on the root window can be used with
xscreensaver, regardless of how that program is written, what language
it is written in, or what libraries it uses. The xscreensaver daemon
takes care of detecting when the user is idle, locking, and checking
passwords and all the other book-keeping. All the other programs need
to do is draw.

The benefit that xscreensaver has over the combination of the xlock and
xautolock programs is the ease with which new graphic hacks can be
installed. You do not need to recompile (or even re-run) the
xscreensaver program to add a new display mode, you just change a
config file.

Controls and monitors the status of an APC UPS under Linux. Allows your
computer or server to run for a specified length of time on UPS power
then executes a controlled shutdown in the case of an extended power
failure. Find APC on the Internet at http://www.apc.com/.

APC also made their PowerChute plus available for download at
