dh-acc

debhelper addon to compare ABI compatibility of shared C/C++ library versions

dh-acc is an addon to facilitate generating ABI compatibility reports by comparing known ABI dumps with newly build ABI at Debian package build time. Thus providing monitoring and early detection of ABI breaks in shared libraries.

libcrypt-pbkdf2-perl

Perl implementation of PBKDF2 password hash

PBKDF2 (part of the PKCS#5 standard) is a secure password hashing algorithm that uses the techniques of "key strengthening" to make the complexity of a brute-force attack arbitrarily high. The Crypt::PBKDF2 module supports SHA-1, SHA-2 and SHA-3 as the underlying hash functions natively and can also use arbitrary Digest-compatible classes. It allows for an arbitrary number of iterations of the hashing function, and a nearly unlimited output hash size (up to 2**32 - 1 times the size of the output of the backend hash). The hash is salted, as any password hash should be, and the salt may also be of arbitrary size.

libdesktop-notify-perl

Perl module which communicates with the Desktop Notifications framework

This module provides a Perl interface to the Desktop Notifications framework.

libscalar-string-perl

Perl module concerning the string aspects of scalars

Scalar::String is about the string part of plain Perl scalars. A scalar has a string value, which is notionally a sequence of Unicode codepoints, but may be internally encoded in either ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8. In places, and more so in older versions of Perl, the internal encoding shows through. To fully understand Perl strings it is necessary to understand these implementation details.

desktop-profiles

framework for setting up desktop profiles

The different Desktop environments in Debian all offer the possibility of customizing them through the use of profiles (sets of configuration and/or data files). Usually it's also possible to stack configuration sets, combining the customizations provided by a number of profiles.

libbiblio-endnotestyle-perl

Perl module to format bibliographic references using Endnote-like templates

Biblio::EndnoteStyle provides a way of formatting bibliographic references using style templates similar to those used by the popular reference management software Endnote (http://www.endnote.com/). The API is embarrassingly simple: a formatter object is made using the class's constructor, the new() method; format() may then be repeatedly called on this object, using the same or different templates.
