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
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.

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.
