Software wish list
Take a look at our
SoftWare policy first.
Please keep in mind that it is impossible for us to always keep track with the newest releases and the replacement of central parts of the systems is not trivial at all (i.e. compilers, interpreters, central libraries while keeping multiple versions of the same products might provoke surprising side effects.
To check the availability of certain software as a Debian package,
http://packages.debian.org/ is a good starting point.
This list is mostly outdated. Please *send your requests to
linux-service@gsi.de instead.
