libboost-dbg 1.55.0.2 Boost C++ Libraries with debug symbols (default version) http://www.boost.org/	This package forms part of the Boost C++ Libraries collection. These libraries are built with debug symbols. They are useful to debug programs which use Boost. These must be used also at build/link time. This package is a dependency package, which depends on Debian's default Boost version (currently 1.55).
libc6-dbg 2.19-18+deb8u6 GNU C Library: detached debugging symbols http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html	This package contains the detached debugging symbols for the GNU C library.

Section devel

Name, Version, Description, Homepage	Long Description
astyle 2.04-1 Source code indenter for C, C++, Objective-C, C#, and Java http://astyle.sourceforge.net/	Artistic Style is a source code indenter, formatter, and beautifier for the C, C++, C++/CLI, Objective-C, C# and Java programming languages. This package contains the command line tool.
autoconf-archive 20140228-1.1 Autoconf Macro Archive http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/	Autoconf Macro Archive aims to provide a central repository of useful and tested Autoconf macros for software developers around the world. This package contains the complete content of the Autoconf Macro Archive as found at http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/.
automake 1:1.14.1-4+deb8u1 Tool for generating GNU Standards-compliant Makefiles http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/	Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's from files called `Makefile.am'. The goal of Automake is to remove the burden of Makefile maintenance from the back of the individual GNU maintainer (and put it on the back of the Automake maintainer). The `Makefile.am' is basically a series of `make' macro definitions (with rules being thrown in occasionally). The generated `Makefile.in's are compliant with the GNU Makefile standards. Automake 1.14 fails to work in a number of situations that Automake 1.4, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10 and 1.11 did, so previous versions are available as separate packages.
autopoint 0.19.3-2 The autopoint program from GNU gettext http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/	The `autopoint' program copies standard gettext infrastructure files into a source package. It extracts from a macro call of the form `AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION(VERSION)', found in the package's `configure.in' or `configure.ac' file, the gettext version used by the package, and copies the infrastructure files belonging to this version into the package.
autoproject 0.20-6 create a skeleton source package for a new program	autoproject interviews the user, then creates a source package for a new program which follows the GNU programming standards. The new package uses autoconf to configure itself, and automake to create the Makefile. `make distcheck' succeeds. The idea is that you execute autoproject just once when you start a new project. It will ask a few questions, then create a new directory and populate it with standard files, customized for the new project. Optionally, the new package will use a command line parser generator. Currently, autoproject supports two parser generators: clig by Harald Kirsch <kir@iitb.fhg.de> (see http://wsd.iitb.fhg.de/software/), and autogen by Bruce Korb <bkorb@gnu.org> (see http://autogen.sourceforge.net/).
autotools-dev 20140911.1 Update infrastructure for config.{guess,sub} files http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/config/	This package installs an up-to-date version of config.guess and config.sub, used by the automake and libtool packages. It provides the canonical copy of those files for other packages as well. It also documents in /usr/share/doc/autotools-dev/README.Debian.gz best practices and guidelines for using autoconf, automake and friends on Debian packages. This is a must-read for any developers packaging software that uses the GNU autotools, or GNU gettext. Additionally this package provides seamless integration into Debhelper or CDBS, allowing maintainers to easily update config.{guess,sub} files in their packages.
bison 2:3.0.2.dfsg-2 YACC-compatible parser generator http://www.gnu.org/software/bison/	Bison is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a grammar description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a C program to parse that grammar. Once you are proficient with Bison, you may use it to develop a wide range of language parsers, from those used in simple desk calculators to complex programming languages. Bison is upward compatible with Yacc: all properly-written Yacc grammars ought to work with Bison with no change. Anyone familiar with Yacc should be able to use Bison with little trouble. Documentation of the program is in the bison-doc package.
build-essential 11.7 Informational list of build-essential packages	If you do not plan to build Debian packages, you don't need this package. Starting with dpkg (>= 1.14.18) this package is required for building Debian packages. This package contains an informational list of packages which are considered essential for building Debian packages. This package also depends on the packages on that list, to make it easy to have the build-essential packages installed. If you have this package installed, you only need to install whatever a package specifies as its build-time dependencies to build the package. Conversely, if you are determining what your package needs to build-depend on, you can always leave out the packages this package depends on. This package is NOT the definition of what packages are build-essential; the real definition is in the Debian Policy Manual. This package contains merely an informational list, which is all most people need. However, if this package and the manual disagree, the manual is correct.
ccache 3.1.12-1 Compiler cache for fast recompilation of C/C++ code http://ccache.samba.org	ccache is a compiler cache. It speeds up recompilation by caching previous compilations and detecting when the same compilation is being done again. Supported languages are C, C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++.
clang 1:3.5-25 C, C++ and Objective-C compiler (LLVM based)	Clang project is a C, C++, Objective C and Objective C++ front-end for the LLVM compiler. Its goal is to offer a replacement to the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). Clang implements all of the ISO C++ 1998 and 2001 standards and also provides a partial support of C++1y. This is a dependency package providing the default clang compiler.
cmake 3.0.2-1+deb8u1 cross-platform, open-source make system http://cmake.org/	CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. CMake is quite sophisticated: it is possible to support complex environments requiring system configuration, pre-processor generation, code generation, and template instantiation. CMake was developed by Kitware as part of the NLM Insight Segmentation and Registration Toolkit project. The ASCI VIEWS project also provided support in the context of their parallel computation environment. Other sponsors include the Insight, VTK, and VXL open source software communities.
cmake-curses-gui 3.0.2-1+deb8u1 curses based user interface for CMake (ccmake) http://cmake.org/	CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. This package provides the CMake curses interface. Project configuration settings may be specified interactively through this GUI. Brief instructions are provided at the bottom of the terminal when the program is running. The main executable file for this GUI is "ccmake".
colorgcc 1.3.2.0-10 Colorizer for GCC warning/error messages	A Perl wrapper to colorize the output of compilers with warning / error messages matching the gcc output format.
cvsutils 0.2.5-1 CVS utilities for use in working directories http://www.red-bean.com/cvsutils/	files in the working directory of a developer using CVS. The utilities included in this package are: + cvsu: Offline "cvs update" simulator. Lists the files found in the current directory (or in the directories which you specify). + cvsco: "Cruel checkout". Removes results of compilation and discards local changes. Deletes all the files except listed unmodified ones and checks out everything which seems to be missing. + cvsdiscard: Discards local changes but keeps results of compilation. Works like "cvsco", but only deletes files which are likely to cause merge conflicts. + cvspurge: CVS-based "make maintainer-clean". Removes results of compilation but keeps local changes intact. Removes unknown files, but keeps changes in files known to CVS. + cvstrim: Removes files and directories unknown to CVS. + cvschroot: Makes it possible to change CVS/Root in all subdirectories to the given value. + cvsdo: Simulates some of the CVS commands (currently add, remove and diff) without any access to the CVS server. + cvsnotag: Reports untagged files.[..]
ddd 1:3.3.12-5 The Data Display Debugger, a graphical debugger frontend http://www.gnu.org/software/ddd/	The Data Display Debugger (DDD) is a popular graphical user interface to UNIX debuggers such as GDB, DBX, XDB, JDB and others. Besides typical front-end features such as viewing source texts and breakpoints, DDD provides an interactive graphical data display, where data structures are displayed as graphs. Using DDD, you can reason about your application by watching its data, not just by viewing it execute lines of source code. Other DDD features include: debugging of programs written in Ada, Bash, C, C++, Chill, Fortran, Java, Modula, Pascal, Perl and Python; machine-level debugging; hypertext source navigation and lookup; breakpoint, backtrace, and history editors; preferences and settings editors; program execution in terminal emulator window; debugging on remote host; on-line manual; interactive help on the Motif user interface; GDB/DBX/XDB command-line interface with full editing, history, and completion capabilities. This version is linked against Lesstif, an LGPL-ed implementation of Motif.

dh-make 1.20140617 tool that converts source archives into Debian package source	This package allows you to take a standard (or upstream) source package and convert it into a format that will allow you to build Debian packages. After answering a few questions, dh_make will then provide a set of templates that, after some small editing, will allow you to create a Debian package.
doxygen 1.8.8-5 Documentation system for C, C++, Java, Python and other languages http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/	Doxygen is a documentation system for C, C++, Java, Objective-C, Python, IDL and to some extent PHP, C#, and D. It can generate an on-line class browser (in HTML) and/or an off-line reference manual (in LaTeX) from a set of documented source files. There is also support for generating man pages and for converting the generated output into Postscript, hyperlinked PDF or compressed HTML. The documentation is extracted directly from the sources. Install the doxygen-latex package to build LaTeX based documents.
electric-fence 2.2.4 A malloc(3) debugger	Electric Fence is a debugger that uses virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory accesses. It can detect two common programming bugs: software that overruns or underruns the boundaries of a malloc() memory allocation, and software that touches a memory allocation that has been released by free(). Unlike other malloc() debuggers, Electric Fence will detect read accesses as well as writes, and it will stop and pinpoint the exact instruction that causes an error. It is not as thorough as Purify, however. In order to debug a program it needs to be linked with Electric Fence's library or dynamic linking needs to be used; README.Debian explains that in detail.
flex 2.5.39-8+deb8u2 fast lexical analyzer generator http://flex.sf.net/	Flex is a tool for generating scanners: programs which recognized lexical patterns in text. It reads the given input files for a description of a scanner to generate. The description is in the form of pairs of regular expressions and C code, called rules. Flex generates as output a C source file, lex.yy.c, which defines a routine yylex(). This file is compiled and linked with the -lfl library to produce an executable. When the executable is run, it analyzes its input for occurrences of the regular expressions. Whenever it finds one, it executes the corresponding C code.
fort77 1.15-10 Invoke f2c like a real compiler	The fort77 script invokes the f2c command transparently, so it can be used like a real Fortran compiler. It can be used to compile Fortran, C and assembler code, and to link it with the f2c libraries.
g++ 4:4.9.2-2 GNU C++ compiler	This is the GNU C++ compiler, a fairly portable optimizing compiler for C++. This is a dependency package providing the default GNU C++ compiler.
g++-multilib 4:4.9.2-2 GNU C++ compiler (multilib files)	This is the GNU C++ compiler, a fairly portable optimizing compiler for C++. Dependency package on architectures with multilib support, the package contains dependencies for the non-default multilib architecture(s).

gcc-multilib 4:4.9.2-2 GNU C compiler (multilib files)	This is the GNU C compiler, a fairly portable optimizing compiler for C. Dependency package on architectures with multilib support, the package contains dependencies for the non-default multilib architecture(s).
gdb 7.7.1+dfsg-5 GNU Debugger http://www.gnu.org/s/gdb/	GDB is a source-level debugger, capable of breaking programs at any specific line, displaying variable values, and determining where errors occurred. Currently, gdb supports C, C++, D, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, OpenCL C, Pascal, assembly, Modula-2, Go, and Ada. A must-have for any serious programmer.
gdc 4.9.2-2 D compiler (language version 2), based on the GCC backend	This is a dependency package providing the default D compiler. Per policy, all packages that contain D sources must use this package in their Build-Depends line. This compiler supports D language version 2.
gfortran 4:4.9.2-2 GNU Fortran 95 compiler	This is the GNU Fortran 95 compiler, which compiles Fortran 95 on platforms supported by the gcc compiler. It uses the gcc backend to generate optimized code. This is a dependency package providing the default GNU Fortran 95 compiler.
gnat 4.9 GNU Ada compiler http://gcc.gnu.org	GNAT is a full-featured Ada 2012 compiler. A quote from http://www.adaic.org says: "Easily reused and maintained, readable and user friendly, Ada code facilitates such massive software projects as the Space Station and the Paris Metro. It has proven to be extraordinarily robust in decades' worth of daily field tests under the most rigorous conditions in which millions of lives have been at stake." Ada is the language for real-world, mission-critical programming. At the same time, Ada's radical type safety helps novice programmers avoid many common mistakes and deliver their software on time (see http://www.adaic.org/atwork/trains.html). This empty package depends on the default version of the Ada compiler for Debian, which is part of the GNU Compiler Collection. Its enforces the same version for all Ada compilations, as described in the Debian Ada Policy.
indent 2.2.11-4 C language source code formatting program	The `indent' program changes the appearance of a C program by inserting or deleting whitespace. `indent' also provides options for controlling the alignment of braces and declarations, program indenting, and other stylistic parameters, including formatting of both C and C++ comments.
insighttoolkit3-examples 3.20.1+git20120521-5 Image processing toolkit for registration and segmentation - examples http://www.itk.org/	ITK is an open-source software toolkit for performing registration and segmentation. Segmentation is the process of identifying and classifying data found in a digitally sampled representation. Typically the sampled representation is an image acquired from such medical instrumentation as CT or MRI scanners. Registration is the task of aligning or developing correspondences between data. For example, in the medical environment, a CT scan may be aligned with a MRI scan in order to combine the information contained in both. This package contains the source for example programs.
libblas-test 1.2.20110419-10 Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines 3, testing programs http://www.netlib.org/blas/	BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines) is a set of efficient routines for most of the basic vector and matrix operations. They are widely used as the basis for other high quality linear algebra software, for example lapack and linpack. This implementation is the Fortran 77 reference implementation found at netlib. This package contains a set of programs which test the integrity of an installed blas-compatible shared library. These programs may therefore be used to test the libraries provided by the blas package as well as those provided by the libatlas3-base and libopenblas-base packages. The programs are dynamically linked -- one can explicitly select a library to test by setting the libblas.so.3 alternative, or by using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_PRELOAD environment variables. Likewise, one can display the library selected using the ldd program in an identical environment.
libcgal-demo 4.5-2 C++ library for computational geometry (demos) http://www.cgal.org/	CGAL (Computational Geometry Algorithms Library) makes the most important of the solutions and methods developed in computational geometry available to users in industry and academia in a C++ library. The goal is to provide easy access to useful, reliable geometric algorithms. This package contains the demos and examples.
liblapack-test 3.5.0-4 Library of linear algebra routines 3 - testing programs http://www.netlib.org/lapack/	LAPACK version 3.X is a comprehensive FORTRAN library that does linear algebra operations including matrix inversions, least squared solutions to linear sets of equations, eigenvector analysis, singular value decomposition, etc. It is a very comprehensive and reputable package that has found extensive use in the scientific community. These testing programs have been run against the shared library in the lapack package. The results have been collected in the files test_results. These programs are provided separately here so that the user can test and compare alternate versions of the lapack libraries, such as those provided by the ATLAS packages, and the lapack package.
libtool 2.4.2-1.11 Generic library support script http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/	This is GNU libtool, a generic library support script. Libtool hides the complexity of generating special library types (such as shared libraries) behind a consistent interface. To use libtool, add the new generic library building commands to your Makefile, Makefile.in, or Makefile.am. See the documentation for details. Libtool supports building static libraries on all platforms. Libtool supports generation of C, C++, Fortran and Java libraries.
lintian 2.5.30+deb8u4 Debian package checker https://lintian.debian.org/	Lintian dissects Debian packages and reports bugs and policy violations. It contains automated checks for many aspects of Debian policy as well as some checks for common errors. It uses an archive directory, called laboratory, in which it stores information about the packages it examines. It can keep this information between multiple invocations in order to avoid repeating expensive data-collection operations. This makes it possible to check the complete Debian archive for bugs, in a reasonable time. This package is useful for all people who want to check Debian packages for compliance with Debian policy. Every Debian maintainer should check packages with this tool before uploading them to the archive. This version of Lintian is calibrated for policy version 3.9.6.
llvm-dev 1:3.5-25 Low-Level Virtual Machine (LLVM), libraries and headers	The Low-Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) is a collection of libraries and tools that make it easy to build compilers, optimizers, Just-In-Time code generators, and many other compiler-related programs. This is a dependency package providing the default libraries and headers.

kernel-package 13.014+nmu1 utility for building Linux kernel related Debian packages

This package provides the capability to create a Debian kernel image package by just running make-kpkg kernel_image in a kernel source directory tree. It can also package the relevant kernel headers into a kernel-headers package. In general, this package is very useful if you need to create a custom kernel, if, for example, the default kernel does not support some of your hardware, or you wish a leaner, meaner kernel. It also scripts the steps that need be taken to compile the kernel, which is quite convenient (forgetting a crucial step once was the initial motivation for this package). Please look at /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/Rationale.gz for a full list of advantages of this package.

openjade 1.4devel1-21.1 Implementation of the DSSSL language http://openjade.sourceforge.net/	OpenJade is an implementation of the ISO/IEC 10179:1996 standard DSSSL language. It is based on James Clark's Jade software. The OpenJade processor, in conjunction with a DSSSL style sheet, is capable of translating SGML documents into other formats. Output formats currently supported are RTF, HTML, MIF, JadeTeX, or an XML representation of the flow object tree. Using its own non-standard system, it is also capable of transforming one SGML or XML DTD to another. Author: The OpenJade Team <jade-devel@infomansol.com>

db-util 5.3.0 Berkeley Database Utilities	This empty package depends on the recommended utilities package containing different tools for manipulating databases and installs unversioned links to current database utilities.
fakeroot 1.20.2-1 tool for simulating superuser privileges	fakeroot provides a fake "root environment" by means of LD_PRELOAD and !SysV IPC (or TCP) trickery. It puts wrappers around getuid(), chown(), stat(), and other file-manipulation functions, so that unprivileged users can (for instance) populate .deb archives with root-owned files; various build tools use fakeroot for this by default. This package contains fakeroot command and the daemon that remembers fake ownership/permissions of files manipulated by fakeroot processes.
rrdtool 1.4.8-1.2 time-series data storage and display system (programs) http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/	The Round Robin Database Tool (RRDtool) is a system to store and display time-series data (e.g. network bandwidth, machine-room temperature, server load average). It stores the data in Round Robin Databases (RRDs), a very compact way that will not expand over time. RRDtool processes the extracted data to enforce a certain data density, allowing for useful graphical representation of data values. RRDtool is often used via various wrappers that can poll data from devices and feed data into RRDs, as well as provide a friendlier user interface and customized graphs. This package contains command-line programs used to access and manipulate RRDs.

cvs 2:1.12.13+real-15 Concurrent Versions System http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/	CVS is a version control system, which allows you to keep access to old versions of files (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why changes occurred, etc., like RCS or SCCS. It handles multiple developers, multiple directories, triggers to enable/log/control various operations, and can work over a wide area network. The texinfo manual provides further information on more tasks that it can perform. There are some tasks that are not covered by CVS. They can be done in conjunction with CVS but will tend to require some script-writing and software other than CVS. These tasks are bug-tracking, build management (that is, make and make-like tools), and automated testing. However, CVS makes these tasks easier. This package contains a CVS binary which can act as both client and server, although there is no CVS dæmon; to access remote repositories, please use :extssh: not :pserver: any more.
dpatch 2.0.35 patch maintenance system for Debian source packages	dpatch is an easy to use patch system for Debian packages, somewhat similar to the dbs package, but much simpler to use. It lets you store patches and other simple customization templates in debian/patches and otherwise does not require much reorganization of your source tree. To get the patches applied at build time you simply need to include a makefile snippet and then depend on the patch/unpatch target in the build or clean stage of debian/rules - or you can use the dpatch patching script directly. It can easily apply patches only on specific architectures if needed.
git-core 1:2.1.4-2.1+deb8u2 fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (obsolete) http://git-scm.com/	Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel. Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools. Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. This is a transitional dummy package. The 'git-core' package has been renamed to 'git', which has been installed automatically. This git-core package is now obsolete, and can safely be removed from the system if no other package depends on it.
git-cvs 1:2.1.4-2.1+deb8u2 fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (cvs interoperability) http://git-scm.com/	Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel. Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools. Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server. This package provides the git cvsimport, cvsexportcommit, and cvsserver tools, which allow Git to read from and write to CVS repositories and offer access over CVS protocol to Git repositories. The git cvsimport tool can incrementally import from a repository that is being actively developed and only requires remote access over CVS protocol. Unfortunately, in many situations the import leads to incorrect results. For reliable, one-shot imports, cvs2git from the cvs2svn package or parsecvs may be a better fit.
git-email 1:2.1.4-2.1+deb8u2 fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (email add-on) http://git-scm.com/	Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
