| autoconf2.1 2.13 | GPL | A GNU tool for automatically configuring source code. |
| GNU's Autoconf is a tool for configuring source code and Makefiles. Using Autoconf, programmers can create portable and configurable packages, since the person building the package is allowed to specify various configuration options. You should install Autoconf if you are developing software and you'd like to use it to create shell scripts which will configure your source code packages. If you are installing Autoconf, you will also need to install the GNU m4 package. Note that the Autoconf package is not required for the end user who may be configuring software with an Autoconf-generated script; Autoconf is only required for the generation of the scripts, not their use. -- PLEASE NOTICE ---> this version is meant to coexist with autoconf-2.5x; to that end, the various binaries are actually linked to a script which decides which version to execute. Newer version (>= 2.5x) is always executed, unless pre-generated `configure' script exists and is generated by autoconf 2.13. You can also manually select this version (2.13) by setting the environment variable WANT_AUTOCONF_2_1 to `1'. The variable WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5 has no effect now. | ||

| cvs 1.12.13 | GPL | A version control system |
| 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. | ||

| ruby-actionpack 1.12.3 | MIT | Part of Rails framework handling controller/view split |
| Action Pack splits the response to a web request into a controller part (performing the logic) and a view part (rendering a template). This two-step approach is known as an action, which will normally create, read, update, or delete (CRUD for short) some sort of model part (often backed by a database) before choosing either to render a template or redirecting to another action. Action Pack implements these actions as public methods on Action Controllers and uses Action Views to implement the template rendering. Action Controllers are then responsible for handling all the actions relating to a certain part of an application. This grouping usually consists of actions for lists and for CRUDs revolving around a single (or a few) model objects. So ContactController would be responsible for listing contacts, creating, deleting, and updating contacts. A WeblogController could be responsible for both posts and comments. Action View templates are written using embedded Ruby in tags mingled in with the HTML. To avoid cluttering the templates with code, a bunch of helper classes provide common behavior for forms, dates, and strings. And it's easy to add specific helpers to keep the separation as the application evolves. Note: Some of the features, such as scaffolding and form building, are tied to ActiveRecord[http://activerecord.rubyonrails.org] (an object-relational mapping package), but that doesn't mean that Action Pack depends on Active Record. Action Pack is an independent package that can be used with any sort of backend (Instiki[http://www.instiki.org], which is based on an older version of Action Pack, used Madeleine for example). Read more about the role Action Pack can play when used together with Active Record on http://www.rubyonrails.org. | ||

| subversion 1.3.2 | BSD CC2.0 | A Concurrent Versioning System |
| Subversion is a concurrent version control system which enables one or more users to collaborate in developing and maintaining a hierarchy of files and directories while keeping a history of all changes. Subversion only stores the differences between versions, instead of every complete file. Subversion also keeps a log of who, when, and why changes occured. As such it basically does the same thing CVS does (Concurrent Versioning System) but has major enhancements compared to CVS and fixes a lot of the annoyances that CVS users face. This package contains the client, if you're looking for the server end of things you want subversion-repos. | ||
| umb-scheme 3.2 | GPL | An implementation of the Scheme programming language |

| valgrind 3.2.0 | GPL | an open-source memory debugger for x86-linux |
| 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 [] | ||
Linux, along with Solaris, also came out ahead of Windows in terms of administration costs, despite the fact that it’s less expensive to hire Windows system administrators. The average Windows administrator in the study earned [USD]$68,500 a year, while Linux sys admins took home [USD]$71,400, and those with Solaris skills were paid [USD]$85,844. The Windows technicians, however, only managed an average of 10 machines each, while Linux or Solaris admins can generally handle several times that. — CIO Update, summarising a Robert Frances Group report
