en: ElectricFence(Description)
target: If you know what malloc() violations are, you'll be interested in
    ElectricFence. ElectricFence is a tool which can be used for
    C programming and debugging. It uses the virtual memory
    hardware of your system to detect when software overruns
    malloc() buffer boundaries, and/or to detect any accesses of
    memory released by free(). ElectricFence will then stop
    the program on the first instruction that caused a bounds
    violation and you can use your favorite debugger to
    display the offending statement.
    
    This package will install ElectricFence, which you can
    use if you're searching for a debugger to find
    malloc() violations.

en: MPEG(Description)
target: The MPEG package contains a public domain video encoder and decoder
    developed in accordance with the MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group)
    standard.  The MPEG standard applies to a family of higher quality
    digital video compression standards and file formats.  This MPEG codec
    is capable of encoding all MPEG frame types. This tool should be able
    to encode and decode streams for most MPEG players.
    
    MPEG uses algorithms for rate control, buffer-constrained encoding, and
    quantization decisions similar, but not identical, to those used in the
    simulation model 1-3 MPEG document.  The rate control used is a simple
    proportional Q-stepsize/Buffer loop that works, but doesn't work very
    well (higher quality rate-control essential for good quality
    buffer-constrained MPEG encoding).  Verification of the buffering is
    possible to provide streams for real-time decoders.

en: Mesa(Description)
target: The Mesa 3-D graphics library is a powerful and generic toolset for
    creating hardware assisted computer graphics.  To the extent that Mesa
    utilizes the OpenGL command syntax or state machine, it is being used
    with authorization from Silicon Graphics, Inc.  However, the author
    (Brian Paul) makes no claim that Mesa is in any way a compatible
    replacement for OpenGL or associated with Silicon Graphics, Inc. Those
    who want a licensed implementation of OpenGL should contact a licensed
    vendor.  However, Mesa is very similar to OpenGL, and you might find Mesa
    to be a valid alternative to OpenGL.

en: Mesa-demos(Description)
target: Mesa-demos contains demonstration programs for the Mesa 3-D graphics
    library (a graphics toolkit very similar to Silicon Graphics' OpenGL).
    You don't need to install mesa-demos if you're upgrading from a
    previous version of Mesa, or if you just aren't interested in the
    demonstrations.  If you're new to Mesa, however, you should install
    them along with the mesa package.

en: Mesa-glut(Description)
target: Mesa-glut contains the GLUT (OpenGL Utility Toolkit) library.
    GLUT is a window system independent toolkit for writing small to
    medium-sized OpenGL programs.  OpenGL is a Silicon Graphics, Inc.,
    graphics utilities toolkit.  Since Mesa (a graphics library) is very
    similar to OpenGL, OpenGL programs will work with Mesa.
    
    GLUT is well-suited for learning OpenGL and developing simple OpenGL
    applications, but it is not a full-featured toolkit.  If you're
    interested in creating large applications requiring sophisticated user
    interfaces, you're probably better off using a native window system
    toolkit like Motif. If you're interested in learning how to create OpenGL
    applications or in creating small and simple OpenGL applications, you
    should install mesa-glut along with mesa and possibly mesa-demos.  You
    may also want to install mesa-devel, which provides a development
    environment for Mesa programming.

target: Xvfb (X Virtual Frame Buffer) is an X Windows System server
    that is capable of running on machines with no display hardware and no
    physical input devices.  Xvfb emulates a dumb framebuffer using virtual
    memory.  Xvfb doesn't open any devices, but behaves otherwise as an X
    display.  Xvfb is normally used for testing servers.  Using Xvfb, the mfb
    or cfb code for any depth can be exercised without using real hardware
    that supports the desired depths.  Xvfb has also been used to test X
    clients against unusual depths and screen configurations, to do batch
    processing with Xvfb as a background rendering engine, to do load testing,
    to help with porting an X server to a new platform, and to provide an
    unobtrusive way of running applications which really don't need an X
    server but insist on having one.
    
    If you need to test your X server or your X clients, you may want to
    install Xvfb for that purpose.

    server processes in order to improve the performance of serving Web
    pages.  This package is PCGI for use with the Zope application server
    and portal toolkit.
    
    It is not necessary for ZServer to actually listen for incoming HTTP
    requests.  If you want Apache to do the actual listening and serving,
    then you can use ZServer's PCGI component to communicate with Apache.
    
    Please note that versions of the Apache Web server prior to 1.3 do not
    have a sufficiently implemented rewrite module to provide authentication
    for Zope.  You'll need to upgrade your Apache if you're using a version

    server allows clients to name resources or objects and share the
    information with other network machines.  The named DNS server can be
    used on workstations as a caching name server, but is generally only
    needed on one machine for an entire network.  Note that the
    configuration files for making BIND act as a simple caching nameserver
    are included in the caching-nameserver package.
    
    Install the bind package if you need a DNS server for your network.  If
    you want bind to act a caching name server, you will also need to install
    the caching-nameserver package.

en: bison(Description)
target: Bison is a general purpose parser generator which converts a grammar
    description for an LALR context-free grammar into a C program to parse
    that grammar.  Bison can be used to develop a wide range of language
    parsers, from ones used in simple desk calculators to complex programming
    languages.  Bison is upwardly compatible with Yacc, so any correctly
    written Yacc grammar should work with Bison without any changes.  If
    you know Yacc, you shouldn't have any trouble using Bison (but you do need
    to be very proficient in C programming to be able to use Bison).  Many
    programs use Bison as part of their build process. Bison is only needed
    on systems that are used for development.
    
    If your system will be used for C development, you should install Bison
    since it is used to build many C programs.

    entry for that particular client; if a local bootparams file doesn't
    exist, it looks at the appropriate Network Information Service (NIS)
    map.  Some network boot loaders (notably Sun's) rely on special boot
    server code on the server, in addition to the RARP and TFTP servers.
    This bootparamd server process is compatible with SunOS bootparam clients
    and servers which need that boot server code.
    
    You should install bootparamd if you need to provide boot information to
    diskless clients on your network.

    old ASCII, new ASCII, crc, HPUX binary, HPUX old ASCII, old tar and POSIX.1
    tar.  By default, cpio creates binary format archives, so that they are
    compatible with older cpio programs.  When it is extracting files from
    archives, cpio automatically recognizes which kind of archive it is reading
    and can read archives created on machines with a different byte-order.

en: cpp(Description)
target: Cpp (or cccp) is the GNU C-Compatible Compiler Preprocessor.
    Cpp is a macro processor which is used automatically
    by the C compiler to transform your program before actual
    compilation. It is called a macro processor because it allows
    you to define macros, abbreviations for longer
    constructs.
    
    The C preprocessor provides four separate functionalities: the
    inclusion of header files (files of declarations that can be
    substituted into your program); macro expansion (you can define macros,
    and the C preprocessor will replace the macros with their definitions
    throughout the program); conditional compilation (using special
    preprocessing directives, you can include or exclude parts of the
    program according to various conditions); and line control (if you use
    a program to combine or rearrange source files into an intermediate
    file which is then compiled, you can use line control to inform the
    compiler about where each source line originated).
    
    You should install this package if you are a C programmer and you use
    macros.

    files in case something goes wrong.  Since cproto uses a Yacc generated
    parser, it shouldn't be confused by complex function definitions as much
    as other prototype generators) because it uses a Yacc generated parser.

en: cracklib(Description)
target: CrackLib tests passwords to determine whether they match certain

    users from choosing passwords which would be easy to guess. CrackLib
    performs certain tests:
    
    * It tries to generate words from a username and gecos entry and
      checks those words against the password;
    * It checks for simplistic patterns in passwords;
    * It checks for the password in a dictionary.
    
    CrackLib is actually a library containing a particular
    C function which is used to check the password, as well as
    other C functions. CrackLib is not a replacement for a passwd
    program; it must be used in conjunction with an existing passwd
    program.
    
    Install the cracklib package if you need a program to check users'
    passwords to see if they are at least minimally secure. If you

en: cvs(Description)
target: CVS means Concurrent Version System; it is a version control
    system which can record the history of your files (usually,
    but not always, source code). CVS only stores the differences
    between versions, instead of every version of every file
    you've ever created. CVS also keeps a log of who, when and
    why changes occurred, among other aspects.
    
    CVS is very helpful for managing releases and controlling
    the concurrent editing of source files among multiple
    authors. Instead of providing version control for a
    collection of files in a single directory, CVS provides
    version control for a hierarchical collection of
    directories consisting of revision controlled files.
    
    These directories and files can then be combined together
    to form a software release.
    
    Install the cvs package if you need to use a version
    control system.

en: dump(Description)
target: The dump package contains both dump and restore.  Dump examines files in
    a filesystem, determines which ones need to be backed up, and copies
    those files to a specified disk, tape or other storage medium.  The
    restore command performs the inverse function of dump; it can restore a
    full backup of a filesystem.  Subsequent incremental backups can then be
    layered on top of the full backup.  Single files and directory subtrees
    may also be restored from full or partial backups.
    
    Install dump if you need a system for both backing up filesystems and
    restoring filesystems after backups.

en: faces(Description)
target: Faces is a program for visually monitoring a list (typically a list of
    incoming mail messages, a list of jobs in a print queue or a list of
    system users).  Faces operates in five different modes: monitoring for
    new mail, monitoring an entire mail file, monitoring a specified print
    queue, monitoring users on a machine and custom monitoring.  Faces also
    includes a utility for including a face image (a compressed, scanned
    image) with mail messages.  The image has to be compressed in a certain
    way, which can then be uncompressed and displayed on-the-fly in the mail
    program.  This feature of faces is typically used with the exmh mail
    handling system.
    
    Install faces if you'd like to use its list monitoring capability or
    its face image inclusion capability.  If you would like to include
    face images in email, you'll also need to install the faces-xface

en: isapnptools(Description)
target: The isapnptools package contains utilities for configuring ISA
    Plug-and-Play (PnP) cards which are in compliance with the PnP ISA
    Specification Version 1.0a.  ISA PnP cards use registers instead of
    jumpers for setting the board address and interrupt assignments.  The
    cards also contain descriptions of the resources which need to be
    allocated.  The BIOS on your system, or isapnptools, uses a protocol
    described in the specification to find all of the PnP boards and
    allocate the resources so that none of them conflict.
    
    Note that the BIOS doesn't do a very good job of allocating resources.
    So isapnptools is suitable for all systems, whether or not they
    include a PnP BIOS. In fact, a PnP BIOS adds some complications.  A
    PnP BIOS may already activate some cards so that the drivers can find
    them.  Then these tools can unconfigure them or change their settings,
    causing all sorts of nasty effects. If you have PnP network cards that
    already work, you should read through the documentation files very
    carefully before you use isapnptools.
    
    Install isapnptools if you need utilities for configuring ISA PnP
    cards.

en: mkinitrd(Description)
target: Mkinitrd creates filesystem images for use as initial ramdisk (initrd)
    images.  These ramdisk images are often used to preload the block
    device modules (SCSI or RAID) needed to access the root filesystem.
    
    In other words, generic kernels can be built without drivers for any
    SCSI adapters which load the SCSI driver as a module.  Since the
    kernel needs to read those modules, but in this case it isn't able to
    address the SCSI adapter, an initial ramdisk is used.  The initial
    ramdisk is loaded by the operating system loader (normally LILO) and
    is available to the kernel as soon as the ramdisk is loaded.  The
    ramdisk image loads the proper SCSI adapter and allows the kernel to
    mount the root filesystem.  The mkinitrd program creates such a
    ramdisk using information found in the /etc/conf.modules file.

    mod_php module enables the Apache web server to understand and process
    the embedded PHP language in web pages.
    
    This package contains PHP.  If you use applications which specifically
    rely on PHP/FI (PHP v2 and earlier), you should instead
    install the PHP/FI module contained in the phpfi package.  If you're
    just starting with PHP, you should install this package.  You'll also
    need to install the Apache web server.

target: Rsync uses a quick and reliable algorithm to very quickly bring
    remote and host files into sync.  Rsync is fast because it just
    sends the differences in the files over the network (instead of
    sending the complete files). Rsync is often used as a very powerful
    mirroring process or just as a more capable replacement for the
    rcp command.  A technical report which describes the rsync algorithm
    is included in this package.

en: rxvt(Description)
target: Rxvt is a color VT102 terminal emulator for the X Window System.  Rxvt
    is intended to be an xterm replacement for users who don't need the
    more esoteric features of xterm, like Tektronix 4014 emulation,
    session logging and toolkit style configurability.  Since it doesn't
    support those features, rxvt uses much less swap space than xterm
    uses.  This is a significant advantage on a machine which is serving a
    large number of X sessions.
    
    The rxvt package should be installed on any machine which serves a
    large number of X sessions, if you'd like to improve that machine's
