| stow |
1.3.3 |
None |
GNU Stow is a program for managing the installation of software packages,
keeping them separate (/usr/local/stow/emacs vs. /usr/local/stow/perl, for
example) while making them appear to be installed in the same place
(/usr/local). Stow is a Perl script which should run correctly under
Perl 5.005 and above. You must install Perl before running Stow. Stow
was inspired by Carnegie Mellon's Depot program, but is substantially
simpler.
|
| make |
3.79.1 |
None |
GNU Make examines the timestamps on a set of interdependent files, and,
if necessary, issues commands to bring them up-to-date. The user creates
a makefile describing the files, their relationships, and the commands
to run. Most often make is used to rebuild libraries and programs when
their sources are changed, but it can be used for any situation where
one set of files needs to be generated from another set.
|
| tar |
1.15.1 |
tar-1.15.1-11.FC4 |
GNU `tar' saves many files together into a single tape or disk archive,
and can restore individual files from the archive. It includes multivolume
support, the ability to archive sparse files, automatic archive
compression/decompression, remote archives and special features that
allow `tar' to be used for incremental and full backups. It also includes
`rmt', the remote tape server (the `mt' tape drive control program is
in GNU `cpio').
|
| patch |
2.5.4 |
patch-2.5.4-24 |
patch takes a patch file containing a difference listing
produced by the diff program and applies those differences
to one or more original files, producing patched versions.
Normally the patched versions are put in place of the
originals. Backups can be made.
|
| GNU Coreutils |
5.2.1 |
coreutils-5.2.1-48.1 |
GNU Coreutils are a set of basic file, shell, and text manipulation
utilities for the GNU operating system that are expected to exist on
every operating system. Previously, they were offered as three individual
packages: fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils.
|
| gmp |
4.2.1 |
gmp-4.1.4-6, gmp-devel-4.1.4-6 |
GMP is a free library for arbitrary precision arithmetic, operating on
signed integers, rational numbers, and floating point numbers. There is
no practical limit to the precision except the ones implied by the
available memory in the machine GMP runs on. GMP has a rich set of
functions, and the functions have a regular interface.
|
| mpfr |
2.2.0 |
gmp-4.1.4-6, gmp-devel-4.1.4-6 |
The MPFR library is a C library for multiple-precision floating-point
computations with exact rounding (also called correct rounding). It is
based on the GMP multiple-precision library.
The main goal of MPFR is to provide a library for multiple-precision
floating-point computation which is both efficient and has a well-defined
semantics. It copies the good ideas from the ANSI/IEEE-754 standard for
double-precision floating-point arithmetic (53-bit mantissa).
|
| binutils |
2.16.1 |
binutils-2.15.94.0.2.2-2.1 |
GNU binutils work mostly behind the scenes of Linux development, largely
because GNU make and the GCC frontend does so many things automatically.
Utilities include: ld as nm objdump objcopy nm ar ranlib strip c++filt
size addr2line and dlltool.
|
| gcc |
4.1.1 |
None |
The GNU Compiler Collection contains frontends for C, C++, Objective-C,
Fortran, Java, and Ada as well as libraries for these languages. It is a
full-featured ANSI C compiler with support for K&R C as well. GCC provides
many levels of source code error checking traditionally provided by other
tools (such as lint), produces debugging information, and can perform
many different optimizations to the resulting object code.
|
| grep |
2.5.1 |
grep-2.5.1-48.2 |
GNU grep is based on a fast lazy-state deterministic matcher (about twice
as fast as stock Unix egrep) hybridized with a Boyer-Moore-Gosper search
for a fixed string that eliminates impossible text from being considered
by the full regexp matcher without necessarily having to look at every
character. The result is typically many times faster than Unix grep or
egrep.
|
| findutils |
4.1.20 |
findutils-4.2.20-1 |
The findutils package consists of three programs. `find' is a program
which searches a directory tree to find a file or group of files. It walks
the directory tree and reports all occurences of a file matching the
user's specifications. `locate' scans one or more databases of filenames
and displays any matches. `xargs' builds and executes command lines by
gathering together arguments it reads on the standard input. Most often,
these arguments are lists of file names generated by `find'.
|
| m4 |
1.4.4 |
m4-1.4.3-1 |
GNU m4 is an implementation of the traditional Unix macro processor. It
is mostly SVR4 compatible, although it has some extensions (for example,
handling more than 9 positional parameters to macros). GNU m4 also has
built-in functions for including files, running shell commands, doing
arithmetic, etc.
|
| autoconf |
2.59 |
None |
Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell
scripts to automatically configure software source code packages.
These scripts can adapt the package to many kinds of UNIX-like
systems without manual user intervention.
|
| automake |
1.9.6 |
None |
Automake is a tool for automatically generating Makefiles compliant
with the GNU Coding Standards. It was inspired by the 4.4BSD make
and include files, but aims to be portable and to conform to the GNU
standards for Makefile variables and targets. Automake is a Perl script.
The input files are called Makefile.am. The output files are called
Makefile.in; They are intended for use with Autoconf. Automake requires
certain things to be done in your configure.in. This package also
includes the "aclocal" program. aclocal is a program to generate an
'aclocal.m4' based on the contents of 'configure.in'. It is useful as
an extensible, maintainable mechanism for augmenting autoconf.
|
| libtool |
1.5.22 |
None |
GNU libtool is a generic library support script. Libtool hides the
complexity of using shared and static libraries behind a consistent,
portable interface. Libtool supports building static libraries on
all platforms.

programs that perform pattern-matching on text. There are many
applications for Flex, including writing compilers in conjunction
with GNU Bison. Flex is a free implementation of the well known Lex
program. It features a Lex compatibility mode, and also provides
several new features such as exclusive start conditions.
|
| tcl |
8.4.15 |
None |
Tcl provides a portable scripting environment for Unix, Windows,
and Macintosh that supports string processing and pattern matching,
native file system access, shell-like control over other programs,
TCP/IP networking, timers, and event-driven I/O. Tcl has traditional
programming constructs like variables, loops, procedures, namespaces,
error handling, script packages, and dynamic loading of DLLs.

None |
NetPBM (formerly PBMplus) is a package of over 220 programs that convert
from one graphics format to another and do simple editing and analysis of
images. There are no interactive tools in this package, and nothing that
displays graphics of any kind. It is like a non-GUI equivalent of
ImageMagick, GIMP, and Adobe Photoshop, etc. Over 100 graphics formats are
handled, including JPEG, MPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, XWD, XBM, G3 fax, and
special formats used by digital cameras and handheld computers. Over 40
editing functions include scaling, cropping, quantization and dithering,
colorizing and uncolorizing, blurring, and dimming. Netpbm programs are
often invoked by other programs, for example in CGI scripts that manage
web site graphics. It also includes a C function library which helps you
write programs to process graphics at a lower level than the Netpbm
utilities.
|
| tiff |
3.8.2 |
None |

None |
CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of
files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes
occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS. Unlike the simpler systems, CVS does
not just operate on one file at a time or one directory at a time, but
operates on hierarchical collections of directories consisting of version
controlled files. CVS helps to manage releases and to control the
concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. CVS allows
triggers to enable/log/control various operations and works well over a
wide area network.

| tkcvs |
8.1 |
None |
TkCVS is a Tcl/Tk-based graphical interface to the CVS configuration
management system. It displays the status of the files in the current
working directory, and provides buttons and menus to execute CVS
commands on the selected files. TkDiff is included for browsing and
merging your changes.
TkCVS extends CVS with a method to produce a browsable, "user friendly"
listing of modules in the repository. This requires that the
CVSROOT/modules file actually lists some modules. Additional comment
fields can be added to make the browser more informative.
TkCVS runs on Unix (including Darwin) and on Windows9x and NT.

| valgrind |
3.4.0 |
None |
Valgrind is a GPL'd tool to help you find memory-management problems in
your programs. When a program is run under Valgrind's supervision, all
reads and writes of memory are checked, and calls to malloc/new/free/delete
are intercepted. As a result, Valgrind can detect problems such as:
* Use of uninitialised memory
* Reading/writing memory after it has been free'd
* Reading/writing off the end of malloc'd blocks
* Reading/writing inappropriate areas on the stack
* Memory leaks -- where pointers to malloc'd blocks are lost forever
* Passing of uninitialised and/or unaddressible memory to system calls
* Mismatched use of malloc/new/new [] vs free/delete/delete []
* Some misuses of the POSIX pthreads API

|
| nttcp |
1.47 |
None |
What does this mean? There is a well(?) know program named ttcp floating
around the net. I used this program for a while but was unsatisfied with
it in some aspects. So I tweaked the source quite a bit and arrived at
this here. The most recent version of this programm dates from Dezember
2000 and is numbered 1.47. An incomplete list of improvements:
* Ported to varity of systems (HPUX, AIX, IRIX, OFS/1, SunOS.4,
SunSolaris 5.*, [Free,Net]BSD).
* Can be started via inetd; you need not be logged in on the remote side
to make transfers to this machin.
* Output can be customized on commandline
* Different commandline options for the remote side in one call
* Measures on boths sides of the connection and reports both measurements
on the calling side.
* Can checksum the traffic, to detect data failures in UDP transmissions
* sending of multicast pakets. |

PostScript formats.
|
| rman |
3.1 |
None |
PolyglotMan takes man pages from most of the popular flavors of UNIX and
transforms them into any of a number of text source formats. In contrast
various man2html filters, which essentially translate bold and italic text
and otherwise wrap the entire manual page in PRE tags, PolyglotMan tries
to interpret the page and produce good HTML text that can be reflowed. For
example, here is a sample of the quality of output PolyglotMan produces
from formatted pages. Better translations are possible when working from
source and some aspects of pages, like tables, require source input, as
for instance the page for tbl itself. Several have written cgi programs
for WWW to format man pages on the fly; these are collected in the contrib
directory of the distribution.
PolyglotMan was formerly known as RosettaMan. The name of the binary is
still called rman, for scripts that depend on that name (mnemonically,
think "reverse man"). Previously PolyglotMan required pages to be
formatted by nroff prior to its processing. With version 3.0, it prefers
[tn]roff source and usually produces results that are better yet. And
source processing is the only way to translate tables. Source format
translation is not as mature as formatted, however, so try formatted
translation as a backup.
|
| rsync |
3.0.4 |
None |
rsync is a replacement for rcp (and scp) that has many more features. It
uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for remote
