(new) lbxproxy_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional x11
Low Bandwidth X (LBX) proxy server
Applications that would like to take advantage of the Low Bandwidth extension
to X (LBX) must make their connections to an lbxproxy. These applications
need know nothing about LBX, they simply connect to the lbxproxy as if were a
regular X server. The lbxproxy accepts client connections, multiplexes them
over a single connection to the X server, and performs various optimizations
on the X protocol to make it faster over low bandwidth and/or high latency
connections.

(new) libice6_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional libs
Inter-Client Exchange library
libICE provides an interface to ICE, the Inter-Client Exchange protocol.
Motivated by issues arising from the need for X Window System clients to
share data with each other, the ICE protocol provides a generic framework for
building protocols on top of reliable, byte-stream transport connections. It
provides basic mechanisms for setting up and shutting down connections, for
performing authentication, for negotiating versions, and for reporting
errors.

X Window System Session Management library
libSM provides an interface to XSMP, the X Session Management Protocol.
XSMP is a protocol that facilitates the management of groups of client
applications by a session manager. The session manager can cause clients to
save their state, to shut down, and to be restarted into a previously saved
state. This protocol is layered on top of the X Consortium's ICE protocol
(see the libice6 package).

.
Unstripped versions of Xlib's loadable modules for internationalization
support are provided in /usr/X11R6/lib/debug/X11/locale/lib/common. Note
that if you wish to debug these modules, you will need to set XLOCALEDIR to
/usr/X11R6/lib/debug/X11/locale. Also note that for security reasons,
unprivileged users are unable to override XLOCALEDIR in this way, so you may
have to perform your debugging of the Xlib modules as root.
.
Non-programmers will likely have little use for this package. See the
libx11-6 package for further information.
(new) libx11-6_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional libs
X Window System protocol client library
The libX11 library, also known as "Xlib", provides a means of communicating
with an X server via the X protocol.
.
Xlib provides low-level functionality, dealing mostly with the wire protocol
and in terms of basic operations such as opening and closing the connection
to the X server, creating graphics contexts, drawing graphics primitives such
as lines, arcs, and glyphs, handling events, and so forth. A set of
dynamically-loadable internationalization modules is also part of this
package, though not in the libX11 shared object itself.
.
Application programmers who are new to the X Window System will likely find
one of the many "Toolkit" libraries far more convenient to program against
than Xlib directly. Examples of popular toolkit libraries are GTK+, Qt,
XForms, LessTif, and Athena.
.
libx11-6 depends on xlibs-data for locale data and the X error and keysym
databases.
(new) libx11-dev_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional libdevel
X Window System protocol client library development files
Header files and a static version of the X11 library ("Xlib") are provided by
this package.
.
See the libx11-6 package for further information.
.
Ideally, this package would not depend on any extension headers, as Xlib is
designed to implement only the core X protocol. Nevertheless, some parts of
Xlib have acquired references to extension headers over the years.
Specifically, header files for the BIG-REQUESTS, XKEYBOARD, XInputExtension,
and XC-MISC extensions are used internally. These dependencies are not
exposed via Xlib's own external interfaces.
(new) libxaw6-dbg_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb extra libdevel
X Athena widget set library (version 6, unstripped)
This package is useful to provide a backtrace with symbol names in a
debugger; this facilitates interpretation of core dumps, and aids in finding
logic errors in programs using this library (or the library itself). The
library is installed in /usr/X11R6/lib/debug and can be used by placing that
directory in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable when the code to
be debugged is executed.

Non-programmers will likely have little use for this package. See the
libxaw6 package for further information.
(new) libxaw6-dev_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb extra libdevel
X Athena widget set library development files (version 6)
Xaw header files and a static version of the Athena widget library are
provided by this package, which supports Xaw6-based clients.
.
It is necessary for the symbol OLDXAW to be defined at compile time for the
Athena library-using program to behave correctly; otherwise the header files
in this package will exhibit Xaw7 behavior.
.
See the libxaw6 package for further information.
(new) libxaw6_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional libs
X Athena widget set library (version 6)
Xaw is a widget set based on the the Xt (X Toolkit Intrinsics) library. It
provides a set of graphical user-interface elements ("widgets") such as
menus, scrollbars, dialog boxes, text-input areas, and so forth. The X
clients distributed with the X Window System itself, as well as many others,
use the Athena widget set.
.
The version of the Athena widgets in this package corresponds to the X11R6.4
release of the X Window System. XFree86 has made significant enhancements to
the Athena widget set; their version can be found in the libxaw7 package.

(new) libxaw7_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional libs
X Athena widget set library
Xaw is a widget set based on the the Xt (X Toolkit Intrinsics) library. It
provides a set of graphical user-interface elements ("widgets") such as
menus, scrollbars, dialog boxes, text-input areas, and so forth. The X
clients distributed with the X Window System itself, as well as many others,
use the Athena widget set.
.
XFree86 has made a number of major improvements to the Athena widget set,
resulting in version 7 -- this version features widgets customizable in
appearance and event handling (a.k.a. "themes"); an extensible image loader
(currently supports bitmaps, gradients, and pixmaps); numerous enhancements
to the Text widget, text source and text sink objects; and multiple-column
support in the SimpleMenu widget.
.
The older Athena widget library corresponding to version X11R6.4 of the X
Window System can be found in the libxaw6 package.

lightweight X Window System miscellaneous utility library
libXmuu is a very small set of miscellaneous utility functions extracted
from Xmu, Xt, and Xaw. This library is intended for X clients that need the
occasional useful function from these libraries but do not require the
toolkit overhead. To use libXmuu, simply include the headers for the other
libraries in the client and link against Xmuu instead of Xmu, Xt, and Xaw.
Needless to say, if the client uses functions from Xmu, Xt, or Xaw that are
not present in Xmuu, it will fail to link.

(new) x-window-system-core_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional x11
X Window System core components
This metapackage provides the essential components for a standalone
workstation running the X Window System. It provides the X libraries, an X
server (except on the S/390 architecture), a set of fonts, and a group of
basic X clients and utilities.
.
Higher level metapackages, such as those for desktop environments, can
depend on this package and simplify their dependencies.
.
It should be noted that a package providing x-window-manager and a package
providing x-terminal-emulator should also be installed to ensure a
comfortable X experience.
(new) x-window-system-dev_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb extra x11
X Window System development components
This metapackage provides the components of the X Window System as developed
by the XFree86 Project which are most interesting to programmers.
.
X Window System design documentation, manual pages, library reference works,
unstripped and static versions of the shared libraries, C header files, and
special versions of libraries available only in static form (with and without
PIC symbols included) are supplied by the packages depended on by this
metapackage.
(new) xbase-clients_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional x11
miscellaneous X clients
An X client is a program that interfaces with an X server (almost always via
the X libraries), and thus with some input and output hardware like a
graphics card, monitor, keyboard, and pointing device (such as a mouse).
.
This package provides a miscellaneous assortment of several dozen X clients
that ship with the X Window System, including:
- startx and xinit, which initialize X sessions from the command line;

- xvinfo, an Xv extension information utility for X;
- ico, an X graphics demo using an animated polyhedron;
- dga, a demo program for the DGA extension; and
- xgc, an (unfinished) X graphics demo program.
.
xbase-clients also -- except on the s390 architecture -- contains the XFree86
X server configuration programs xf86cfg and xf86config, but in general the
Debconf interface to the xserver-xfree86 package should be used instead of
these tools.
.
The bitmap, editres, viewres, xbiff, xcalc, xconsole, xditview, xedit,
xf86cfg, xman, xsetroot, and xsm programs use bitmap images provided by the
xlibs-data package. xkbcomp uses the XKEYBOARD (XKB) extension configuration
data provided by the xlibs package.
.
xrdb requires the C preprocessor (cpp) to process X resource files. The GNU
C preprocessor's "-traditional" support misbehaves in early releases of the
GCC 3.3 series; therefore, this package conflicts with those versions.
.
(Strictly speaking, atobm does not depend on any X libraries, but it shares a
manual page with bitmap and bmtoa, and so is grouped with them in this
package.)
(new) xdm_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional x11
X display manager
xdm manages a collection of X servers, which may be on the local host or
remote machines. It provides services similar to those provided by init,
getty, and login on character-based terminals: prompting for login name and
password, authenticating the user, and running a session. xdm supports XDMCP
(X Display Manager Control Protocol) and can also be used to run a chooser
process which presents the user with a menu of possible hosts that offer
XDMCP display management.
.
If the xutils package is installed, xdm can use the sessreg utility to
register login sessions to the system utmp file; this, however, is not
necessary for xdm to function.
.
xdm requires the C preprocessor (cpp) to process its configuration files.
The GNU C preprocessor's "-traditional" support misbehaves in early releases
of the GCC 3.3 series; therefore, this package conflicts with those versions.
(new) xfs_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional x11
X font server
xfs is a daemon that listens on a network port and serves X fonts to X
servers (and thus to X clients). All X servers have the ability to serve
locally installed fonts for themselves, but xfs makes it possible to offload
that job from the X server, and/or have a central repository of fonts on a
networked machine running xfs so that all the machines running X servers on a
network do not require their own set of fonts. xfs may also be invoked by
users to, for instance, make available X fonts in user accounts that are not
available to the X server or to an already running system xfs.
(new) xfwp_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional x11
X firewall proxy server
The X firewall proxy is an application layer gateway proxy that may be run
on a network firewall host to forward X traffic across the firewall. Used
in conjunction with the X server Security extension and authorization
checking, xfwp constitutes a safe, simple, and reliable mechanism both to
hide the addresses of X servers located on an intranet and to enforce a
server connection policy. Xfwp cannot protect against mischief
originating on an intranet; however, when properly configured it can
guarantee that only trusted clients originating on authorized external
Internet hosts will be allowed inbound access to local X servers.

Mesa 3D graphics library (unstripped) [XFree86]
This package is useful to provide a backtrace with symbol names in a
debugger; this facilitates interpretation of core dumps, and aids in finding
logic errors in programs using this library (or the library itself). The
library is installed in /usr/lib/debug and can be used by placing that
directory in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable when the code to
be debugged is executed.
.
Non-programmers will likely have little use for this package. See the

(new) xlibmesa-gl_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional libs
Mesa 3D graphics library [XFree86]
Mesa is a 3D graphics library which presents an API intended to be compatible
with OpenGL. XFree86 maintains its own version of the Mesa library (which is
regularly resynchronized with the official one) to permit development of the
XFree86 X server's Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI), which makes the 3D
acceleration features of many modern video cards available to X client
programmers.
.
Chipset-specific acceleration modules, if available for your machine
architecture, are provided in the xlibmesa-dri package.

See the xlibmesa-glu package for further information.
(new) xlibmesa-glu_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional libs
Mesa OpenGL utility library [XFree86]
The OpenGL utility library (GLU) offers simple interfaces for building
mipmaps; checking for the presence of extensions in the OpenGL (or other
libraries which follow the same conventions for advertising extensions);
drawing piecewise linear curves, NURBS, quadrics and other primitives
(including, but not limited to, teapots); tesselating surfaces; setting up
projection matrices and unprojecting screen coordinates to world coordinates.
.
XFree86 maintains its own version of the Mesa libraries; see the xlibmesa-gl
package for further information.

This package was built using version 1.02 of the C++ ABI.
(new) xlibmesa3_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional oldlibs
XFree86 Mesa libraries dummy package
This package smooths upgrades from Debian 3.0 by depending on xlibmesa-gl and
xlibmesa-glu. This transitional package is only depended upon by packages
that haven't yet been compiled against the newer Mesa libraries provided by
XFree86.
.
This package also depends on xlibmesa-dri, if that package is available for
your machine architecture.
(new) xlibs-static-dev_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional libdevel
X Window System client library development files
xlibs-static-dev provides static versions of the X Window System libraries
(some of which, but not all, implement extensions to the X protocol) that do
not exist in shared object form for various reasons (such as the fact that
their APIs have not stabilized, or that they are deprecated). Header files
and manual pages are also provided.
.
The following libraries are supplied by this package:
- libFS, an implementation of the Font Service protocol for the X Window
System;
- libI810XvMC, Intel i810-specific routines for the XVideo
Motion-Compensation extension (not available on the hurd-i386 platform);
- libXRes, an implementation of the X-Resource extension, which permits the
X server to be queried regarding its resource consumption on behalf of
connected X clients;
- libXau, an implementation of an authorization protocol for the X Window
System;
- libXdmcp, an implementation of the X Display Manager Control Protocol
(XDMCP);
- libXfont, a collect of font rasterizers used by X Window System;
- libXfontcache, an implementation of FontCache, a font caching extension;
- libXinerama, an implementation of XINERAMA, a multi-display extension;
- libXss, an implementation of MIT-SCREEN-SAVER, a screen saver extension;
- libXvMC, an implementation of XVideo-MotionCompensation, an extension for
motion-compensated video playback;
- libXxf86dga, an implementation of XFree86-DGA, a direct graphics (device)
access extension;
- libXxf86misc, an implementation of XFree86-Misc, an extension implementing
various utility functions used by the XFree86 implementation of the X
Window System;
- libXxf86rush, an implementation of XFree86-Rush, an extension used to
enable the X server to work with 3Dfx Interactive Voodoo Rush cards (the
server side of this extension is implemented in the "apm" XFree86 server
driver);
- libXxf86vm, an implementation of XFree86-VidModeExtension, an extension
enabling X clients to program and manipulate mode parameters on the
display hardware;
- libfntstubs, a stub font rasterization library;
- libfontenc, a font encoding handling library;
- liboldX, a library providing compatibility functions for use with version
10 of the X procotol;
- libxf86config, an XF86Config file parsing library (not available on the
s390 architecture);

user interfaces to the XKEYBOARD (XKB) extension
(new) xlibs-static-pic_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb extra libdevel
X Window System client extension library PIC archives
This package provides PIC archives (static libraries with PIC information)
of the libraries in xlibs-static-dev.
.
These archives are available for use *only* for linking into objects which
will be accessed using the dlopen() function, such as plugin modules for
applications.
.
See the xlibs-static-dev package for a description of the specific libraries
available in this package.
(new) xmh_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb extra mail
X interface to the MH mail system
xmh provides a graphical user interface to the MH (Message Handler) mail
system. xmh is a very old X client and is not exactly a "living" piece of
software. MH users will probably prefer the exmh package, which serves the
same function and continues to be actively developed.
.
The xmh program uses bitmap images provided by the xlibs-data package.
(new) xnest_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional x11
nested X server
Xnest is an X server that is itself an X client. This allows you to run a
server within a server; this is occasionally useful for testing new window
managers and other X clients.
.
Xnest relies upon its parent X server for font services.
(new) xserver-common_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional x11
files and utilities common to all X servers
The X server is the hardware interface of the X Window System. Its job is to
communicate with video display and input devices, and present them in a
standardized, abstract fashion via the X protocol to X clients (X-based
programs). The X server largely relieves programs of having to know or care
about the details of the hardware with which they are interacting (such
things as 32-bit versus 8-bit color, the layout of the keyboard, how many
buttons the mouse has, etc.). The catch is that the X server must itself
know the technical specifications of the graphics hardware and monitor, the
keyboard layout, the protocol used by the mouse, and so forth.
.
X servers either need fonts installed on the local host, or need to know of a
remote host that provides font services (with xfs, for instance). The former
means that font packages are mandatory. The latter means that font packages
may be gratuitous. To err on the side of caution, install at least the
xfonts-base, xfonts-100dpi or xfonts-75dpi, and xfonts-scalable packages.
(new) xterm_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional x11
X terminal emulator
xterm is a terminal emulator for the X Window System. It provides DEC VT102
and Tektronix 4014 compatible terminals for programs that cannot use the
window system directly. This version implements ISO/ANSI colors and most of
the control sequences used by DEC VT220 terminals.
.
This package provides four commands: xterm, which is the traditional
terminal emulator; uxterm, which is a wrapper around xterm that is
intelligent about locale settings (especially those which use the UTF-8
character encoding), but which requires the luit program from the xutils
package; koi8rxterm, a wrapper similar to uxterm for locales that use the
KOI8-R character set; and lxterm, a simple wrapper that chooses which of the
previous commands to execute based on the user's locale settings.
.
A complete list of control sequences supported by the X terminal emulator
is provided in /usr/share/doc/xterm.
.
The xterm program uses bitmap images provided by the xlibs-data package.
.
Those interested in using koi8rxterm will likely want to install the
xfonts-cyrillic package as well.
(new) xutils_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional x11
X Window System utility programs
xutils provides a set of utility programs shipped with the X Window System
that do not require the X libraries; many of these programs are useful
even on a system that does not have any X clients or X servers installed.
.
The programs in this package include:
- bdftopcf, which converts BDF fonts to PCF fonts;
- bdftruncate and ucs2any, tools to generate fonts with various encodings
from ISO 10646-encoded fonts
- ccmakedep, a version of makedepend which "does it right"
- cleanlinks, a program to remove dangling symlinks and empty directories
from a shadow link tree (created with lndir)
- fslsfonts, a tool that lists fonts served by an X font server;
- imake, a C preprocessor interface to the make utility;
- lndir, a tool that creates a shadow directory of symbolic links to
another directory tree;
- luit, a filter that can be run between an arbitrary application and a
UTF-8 terminal emulator;
- makedepend, a tool to create dependencies in makefiles;
- makeg, a tool for making debuggable executables;
- makepsres, a tool that creates PostScript language resource database
files;
- makestrs, a tool that makes string table C source and header(s);
- mkcfm, a tool that create summaries of font metric files in CID font
directories;
- mkdirhier, a tool that creates a directory hierarchy;
- mkfontdir, a program to generate fonts.dir files;
- scanpci, a utility for retrieving information about the PCI bus and
devices on it (not available on all architectures);
- pcitweak, a utility that can be used to examine or change registers in
the PCI configuration space (not available on all architectures);
- pswrap, a tool that creates C procedures from segments of PostScript
language code;
- resize, which prints a shell command for setting the TERM and TERMCAP
environment variables to indicate the current size of the xterm (or
compatible program) window from which the command is run;
- revpath, which generates a relative path that can be used to undo a
change-directory;
- rstart, a remote start client;
- rstartd, a remote start daemon activated by rstart connections;
- sessreg, a simple program for managing utmp/wtmp entries;
- showfont, a font dumper for use with an X font server;
- showrgb, a decompiler for RGB color-name databases;
- xfsinfo, an X font server information utility;
- xmkmf, a tool that creates a Makefile from an Imakefile; and
- xon, a tool that starts an X program on a remote machine.
.
Installation of an rsh or ssh daemon (server) is necessary if rstartd is
to be used, and installation of an rsh or ssh client is necessary if
rstart is to be used. The luit program requires locale information from
the xlibs-data package.
.
imake uses the C preprocessor (cpp) as a macro processor. The GNU C
preprocessor's "-traditional" support misbehaves in early releases of the GCC
3.3 series; therefore, this package conflicts with those versions.
(new) xvfb_4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2_s390.deb optional x11
virtual framebuffer X server
Xvfb provides an X server that can run on machines with no display hardware
and no physical input devices. It emulates a dumb framebuffer using virtual
memory. The primary use of this server was intended to be server testing,
but other novel uses for it have been found, including testing clients
against unusual depths and screen configurations, doing batch processing with
Xvfb as a background rendering engine, load testing, as an aid to porting the
X server to a new platform, and providing an unobtrusive way to run
applications that don't really need an X server but insist on having one
anyway.
.
This package also contains a convenience script called xvfb-run which
simplifies the automated execution of X clients in a virtual server
environment. This convenience script requires the use of the xauth
program from xbase-clients, hence the suggestion of xbase-clients.
Changes: xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge2) stable-security; urgency=high
