DebLib: deblib is a simple module for Python that allows you to look at the debian packages database. For example, it allows you to ask if a specific version of a package exist on the tested system. deblib has been created to facilitate the development of the dsacheck project.

Deroff: deroff strips off roff constructs and macros. The preprocessor (eqn, tbl, pic, grap, and vgrind) sections are removed entirely. The resulting outptu is suitable fo rspelling with (eg) spell

Distcc: 'distcc' distributes compilation of C or C++ code across several machines on a network. It should always generate the same results as a local compile, is simple to install and use, and is often significantly faster than a local compile. 'distcc' does not require all machines to share a filesystem, have synchronized clocks, or to have the same libraries or header files installed. Machines can be running different operating systems, as long as they have compatible binary formats or cross-compilers. 'distcc' sends the complete preprocessed source code across the network for each job, so all it requires of the volunteer machines is that they be running the distccd daemon, and that they have an appropriate compiler installed.

Dmidecode: 'Dmidecode' reports information about your system's hardware as described in your system BIOS according to the SMBIOS/DMI standard. This information typically includes system manufacturer, model name, serial number, BIOS version, asset tag as well as other details of varying level of interest and reliability. This other information often includes usage status for the CPU sockets, expansion slots (e.g. AGP, PCI, ISA) and memory module slots, and the list of I/O ports (e.g. serial, parallel, USB).

DoIt comes from the idea of bringing the power of build-tools to execute any kind of task. It will keep track of dependencies between "tasks" and execute them only when necessary. It was designed to be easy to use and "get out of your way". DoIt can be used as:

a build tool (generic and flexible)
home of your management scripts (it helps you organize and combine shell scripts and python scripts)
a functional tests runner (combine together different tools)

Drbd: 'drbd' is a block device for building high-availability clusters. DRBD takes over the data, writes it to the local disk and sends it to the other host. On the other host, it takes it to the disk there. The other components needed are a cluster membership service, which is supposed to be heartbeat, and an application that works on top of a block device (ie, a filesystem and fsck). Each device has either a 'primary' or 'secondary' state. The application should run and access the device on the node with the primary device. Every write is sent to the local 'lower level block device' and to the node with the device in 'secondary' state. The secondary device then writes the data to its lower level block device. If the primary node fails, heartbeat is switching the secondary device into primary state and starts the application there. If the failed node comes up again, it is a new secondary node and will synchronise its content to the primary node whithout interruption of service in the background. Only those parts of the device that actually have been changed will resync.

ELF statifier: Executable files may be linked statically or dynamically. Dynamically linked executables use less disk space and memory, but require appropriative dynamic libraries present in order to run. ELF statifier make one executable file with no run-time dependencies from a dynamically linked executable and all its libraries. This file can be copied and run on another machine with no need for all of the libraries.

ETS- Enthought Tool Suite: The Enthought Tool Suite (ETS) is a collection of components developed by Enthought and our partners, which we use every day to construct custom scientific applications. This project is a "meta-project wrapper" that bundles up all the other projects in ETS.

ETS- Enthought Tool Suite Project Tools: ETSProjectTools provides commands to make it easier for developers to work on projects that have a large number of dependencies, such as the ETS project itself. These commands are all predicated on a concept we call a "checkout", which is the coherent set of projects and versions that are required to satisfy all documented dependencies for the user-requested project(s).

Eboxy: eboxy is an application for building simple user interfaces for entertainment PCs, suitable for use with a remote on a TV screen. It uses SDL for graphics and XML-based interface description files, supports TrueType fonts and PNG alpha transparency, and has a plugin extension system.

Editline: Editline is an autotool- and libtoolized port of the NetBSD Editline library (libedit). This command line editor library provides generic line editing, history, and tokenization functions, similar to those found in GNU Readline.

Epto: 'epto' is a library for industrial strength shell script programming with sh. It features convenient error handling, tracing, logging, option handling, documentation template, process level transaction safety (sort of), and more. It takes less than five minutes of learning to start using it.

FASM: The Flat Assembler is efficient; supports 16/32/64-bit (both AMD64 and EM64T) instructions; MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, and 3DNow! extensions; and generates binary/MZ/PE/COFF/ELF output formats.

FOSSology: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fossology/ Scan files for licenses and copyrights, perhaps more analysis in the future.

FileTools: This is a candidate for deletion: Links broken. No links to page. Email to maintainer broken. Poppy-one (talk) 11:31, 31 July 2018 (EDT) 'FileTools' can be used to split and join files with automatic checksum, to compare two files byte-by-byte and to calculate Adler-32 and Fletcher-32 checksum of a file. It doesn't require installation (on some environments you should run it from /home/(your user name)/ path or the equivalent for your system).

Filepp: filepp is a generic file preprocessor that lets C preprocessor functionality be used with any file type. It supports the full set of C preprocessor keywords (#include, #define, #if, etc.). filepp is also highly customizable and allows users to easily add their own keywords or modify the behaviour of existing keywords, and is more user friendly than cpp. Common uses include as an HTML preprocessor, to maintain consistency between software and documentation, and as a simple 'sed' replacement.

Fileutils: Included tools duplicate files, list files, display disk usage, change file permissions, change group and owner ownership, rename, delete and creates file nodes including technology to delete files securely (indefinitely). This program has been folded into GNU core utilities.

Fltk: The Fast Light Tool Kit ("FLTK", pronounced "fulltick") is a C++ graphical user interface toolkit. FLTK also includes FLUID, the Fast Light User Interface Designer, which allows you to graphically design applications, widgets, or classes for your GUI. The program was designed to be small and modular enough to be statically linked. It also works well as a shared library. 'fltk' does not use macros, templates, multiple inheritance, or exceptions. It is written directly atop Xlib for maximum speed.

Freedce: 'freedce' is a free implementation of DCE RPC, with development aimed at implementing DCOM for GNU/Linux (and other *NIX systems).

FunctionCheck: FunctionCheck is a profile generator for C/C++ programs. It uses the gcc '-finstrument-functions' feature to track each function entry and exit. It computes local and total times in functions, the number of calls, the average time per call, and function calls. It can also count time spent in sub-functions not compiled with '-finstrument-functions'. The time balance between functions is always respected. It also can trace memory allocations and report on memory leaks, showing the call stack leading up to the allocation of the leaked blocks.

G-wrap: 'G-Wrap' is a tool (and Guile library) for generating function wrappers for inter-language calls. It currently supports generating Guile wrappers for C functions.

GAA Argument Analyzer: The GAA Argument Analyser helps programmers to analyze the arguments given to their program from the command line or from a configuration file. You will only have to write a text file in GAA language, and GAA will provide you .c and .h files to manage arguments.

GENDIST: GENDIST (the Distribution Generator) lets you easily create your own distribution. It is particularly intended for special-purpose mini-distributions, which typically consist of a kernel and a root-filesystem, both packed together on one or a few floppies or CD-ROMs. It creates a makefile-based build system for your distribution, and helps you to automate the following three tasks: maintaining your root filesystem, maintaining your "CD filesystem" (in case you create a bootable CD), and packaging everything on media.

GIT-Goggles: A series of GIT utilities to streamline working with remote branches and reviewing code. You can think of git-goggles as 'git branch -a' on steroids. Just install and run 'git goggles' git-goggles is a git management utilities that allows you to manage your source code as it evolves through its development lifecycle.

GK Log: This is a candidate for deletion: can't find software anywhere, not on archive.org, my email to maintainer was returned to sender. Danm (talk) 12:30, 18 November 2017 (EST)

GatO: 'gatO' (GTK At Operation) is an interface to the UNIX command 'at.'

Gazpacho: Gazpacho is a GUI builder for the GTK+ toolkit designed to be ultra easy to use. It is strongly inspired by the Glade project but it is written from scratch in Python. As a result there are few lines of code to read, understand and maintain. One of the project's goals is that the .glade files that Gazpacho generates be fully compatible with libglade so you can use Gazpacho regardless of the language in which your application is written.

Gconf: GConf is a "registry" system, a library applications can use to store key-value pairs persistently. It's written for GNOME, but it does not require GNOME or even X to work. Use outside GNOME is encouraged and will be supported.

GeSHi: GeSHi is a generic syntax highlighter for PHP that takes any source code and highlights it in XHTML and CSS. It features case-sensitive or insensitive highlighting, auto-caps/non-caps of any keyword, an unlimited scope for styling, the use of CSS in which almost any aspect of the source can be highlighted, the use of CSS classes to massively reduce the amount of output code, function-to-URL capabilities, line numbering, and much more. Over 50 languages are supported, including Java, C, PHP, HTML, CSS, SQL, Pascal, C++, XML, ASP, and ASM.

Gecode: Gecode is an open, free, portable, accessible, and efficient environment for developing constraint-based systems and applications. It is written in C++.

Generic Coloriser: Inspired by logcolorizer, colorlog, acl, colorgcc, colortail, and others, Generic Colouriser can be used to colourise any files or outputs of commands. It's written in python and configurable via regular expressions.

Gengen: Gengen (GENerator GENerator) is a tool that, starting from a parameterized text, called template, generates a text generator that can substitute parameters with values. At the moment Gengen can generate C++ or C code, other target languages are under development (e.g., Java).

Gengetopt: 'gengetopt' takes an easy-to-do description of options and generates a C function that uses the GNU getopt_long(3) function to parse and validate the options. gengetopt is perfect if you don't want to write all the stuff required to call GNU getopt_long(3), or if you have a program and wish it took many options. The generated code works if you use autoconf or automake.

Genroms: 'genroms' is a utility meant to aid in generating ROM files for arcade machines or emulators. You pass it in a standard Intel Hex File (.IHX) along with a description of the ROM layout in memory (.ROMS), and it will generate the ROM files as specified in the ROM layout file. It is meant for programers who are developing for arcade machines, or for circumstances where the ROM layout may be strange or non-contiguous.

GetAbsPath: 'getAbsPath' is a C header (getAbsPath.h) or an ANSI C tool (getAbsPath) which converts relative path to absolute ones. It uses the current working directory (CWD) as its basis. It can be used (for example) to find out the current path of a shell script.

GetOpts

This is yet another C++ version of the getopt function, that is, for parsing command line options and environment variables. However, unlike other versions, the design goals of this one are:

EASY to use
EASY to learn
mimc STL's streams
minimum code to type
smooth integration with STL types
Platform independant (ANSI C++)
EASY to extend for your own types

Getargs: 'getargs' is a Python module that implements a command line parser that Python scripts can use to parse their command line arguments in sys.argv. It is designed as a more powerful and flexible alternative to 'getopt'. 'getargs' supports all features provided by getopt. It also allows a command line option to take an arbitrary number of arguments, permits switches (options without arguments) and options with arguments to be interleaved on the command line, and allows the developer specify the maximum and minimum number of arguments an option can take.

Ginsu: Chop up/Stitch together large files.

GitPython: GitPython is a python library used to interact with Git repositories. GitPython provides object model access to your git repository. Once you have created a repository object, you can traverse it to find parent commit(s), trees, blobs, etc. GitPython is a port of the grit library in Ruby created by Tom Preston-Werner and Chris Wanstrath.

Glade: Glade is a rapid application development (RAD) tool to enable quick and easy development of user interfaces for the GTK+ toolkit and the GNOME desktop environment. The user interfaces designed in Glade are saved as XML and these can be loaded by applications dynamically as needed by using GtkBuilder or used directly to define a new GtkWidget derived object class using Gtk+ new template feature. The Glade XML files can also be used in numerous programming languages.

Glibbind: This is a candidate for deletion: Links broken. Email to maintainer broken. Poppy-one (talk) 15:24, 2 August 2018 (EDT) Glib Binding Properties binds properties in GLib and GTK+ objects. This lets you synchronize the properties of several objects; when one property changes the others automatically change accordingly, so you don't need to write callbacks watching for property change notifications. It supports one-way and mutual bindings and bindings with transformation by transformation functions.

Global

GLOBAL is a source code tagging system that functions in the same way across a wide array of environments, such as different text editors, shells and web browsers. The resulting tags are useful for quickly moving around in a large, deeply nested project. GNU GLOBAL has the following features:

supports C, C++, Yacc, Java, PHP4 and assembly.
works the same way across diverse environments including vi, emacs, less, bash…
finds locations of specified symbol quickly.
locates not only definitions but also references.

includes cscope-compatible program (gtags-cscope).
includes grep-like command (-g command).
supports grep-like symbol highlighting.

Gnomedb: GNOME-DB is a complete framework for developing database-oriented applications. It allows access to PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle and ODBC data sources. It also includes several applications and utilities which make it suitable for many database-related tasks.

Gnostic: gnostic is a program which executes shell scripts according to certain criteria. It is aimed at applications where there is a need to codify some types of "recipes" for doing things. It is a rule-based task execution system.

Gnulib: Gnulib is intended to be the canonical source for most of the important "portability" and/or common files for GNU projects. These are files intended to be shared at the source level; Gnulib is not a library meant to be installed and linked against. Unlike most projects, Gnulib does not normally generate a source tarball distribution; instead, developers should just grab modules directly from the repository. While portability across operating systems is not one of GNU's primary goals, it has helped introduce many people to the GNU system, and is worthwhile when it can be achieved at a low cost. This collection helps lower that cost.

Gnumach: GNU Mach is the microkernel of the GNU system. A microkernel provides only a limited functionality, just enough abstraction on top of the hardware to run the rest of the operating system in user space. The GNU Hurd servers and the GNU C library implement the POSIX compatible base of the GNU system on top of the microkernel architecture provided by Mach. Currently, GNU Mach runs on IA32 machines. GNU Mach should, and probably will, be ported to other hardware architectures in the future. Mach was ported to many operating systems in the past.

Google Mock: Google Mock is an object mocking framework for C++ unit testing. One of its important features is its collection of matcher predicates which ease unit testing. It can be used with most unit testing frameworks.

Google Test: Google Test is a unit testing framework for C++.

Gorm: Gorm (Graphic Object Relationship Modeller) is a GNUstep application for building user interfaces and application objects relationships. Its major features include drag-and-drop creation of GUI elements from palettes, run-time loading of additional palettes, direct on-screen manipulation of GUI elements, manipulation and examination of objects via inspectors, and creation of connections between objects using mouse. It is a clone of the former Interface Builder application.

Grammatica: Grammatica is a parser generator (or compiler compiler) for C# and Java. It reads a grammar file and creates source code for a parser. The grammar file format describes the language in EBNF, with tokens described as regular expressions. Currently only LL(k) grammars are supported, but future versions will probably contain support for other grammar types.
