Application Battery

lsb-alsaplayer
LSB conforming version of alsaplayer. AlsaPlayer is a new PCM player developed on the Linux Operating System. Since the first public beta release it support has been added for various other Operating Systems (mostly Unix variants). AlsaPlayer was written in the first place to excercise the new ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) driver and library system.

lsb-apache
LSB conforming version of Apache. Apache is a powerful, full-featured, efficient, and freely-available Web server. Apache is the most popular Web server on the Internet. Apache is added to the LSB Application Battery primarily to demonstrate networking, threads and application-supplied shared libraries.

lsb-celestia
LSB conforming version of Celestia. Celestia is a free real-time space simulation that lets you experience our universe in three dimensions. Celestia is added to the LSB Application Battery primarly to demonstrate a C++ program which uses the OpenGL library.

lsb-designer
LSB conforming version of Designer. Designer is a powerful GUI layout and forms builder, enabling rapid development of high-performance user interfaces with native look and feel across all supported platforms.

lsb-expect
LSB conforming version of expect. Expect is a tcl extension for automating and testing interactive applications such as telnet, ftp, passwd, fsck, rlogin, tip, etc. Expect is added to the LSB Application Battery primarly to demonstrate package dependecies, as it depends on LSB conforming tcl. It is also used in building the LSB Runtime Test suite.

lsb-ghostscript
LSB conforming version of ghostscript. Ghostscript is an interpreter for the PostScript (TM) language. A PostScript interpreter usually takes as input a set of graphics commands. The output is usually a page bitmap which is then sent to an output device such as a printer or display. PostScript is embedded in many printers. Ghostscript is added to the LSB Application Battery primarly to excercise CUPS interfaces.

lsb-gnupg
LSB conforming version of gnupg. GnuPG (GNU Privacy Guard) is a GNU utility for encrypting data and creating digital signatures. GnuPG has advanced key management capabilities and is compliant with the proposed OpenPGP Internet standard described in RFC2440. Since GnuPG doesn't use any patented algorithm, it is not compatible with any version of PGP2 (PGP2.x uses only IDEA for symmetric-key encryption, which is patented worldwide).

lsb-groff
LSB conforming version of groff. Groff is a document formatting system. Groff is added to the LSB Application Battery primarly to demonstrate the use of C++ programs.

lsb-leafpad
LSB conforming version of leafpad. leafpad is a simple GTK+-based text editor leafpad is added to the LSB Application Battery to test gtk2.

lsb-lynx
LSB conforming version of lynx. Lynx is a text-based Web browser. Lynx is added to the LSB Application Battery primarly to demonstrate the use of the ncurses library.

lsb-openjade
LSB conforming version of openjade. OpenJade is an implementation of the ISO/IEC 10179:1996 standard DSSSL (Document Style Semantics and Specification Language). OpenJade is based on James Clark's Jade implementation of DSSSL. OpenJade is a commmand-line application and a set of components. The DSSSL engine inputs an SGML or XML document and can output a variety of formats: XML, RTF, TeX, MIF (FrameMaker), SGML, or XML.

lsb-perl
LSB conforming version of Perl. Perl is a general-purpose programming language originally developed for text manipulation and now used for a wide range of tasks including system administration, web development, network programming, GUI development, and more.

lsb-pidgin
LSB conforming version of pidgin. Pidgin is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client. Pidgin is added to the LSB Application Battery to test gtk2.

lsb-python
LSB conforming version of Python. An interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming language. Python includes modules, classes, exceptions, very high-level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. Python is added to the LSB Application Battery because the included test suite exercises many LSB features including sockets/networking, curses and others.

lsb-raptor
LSB conforming version of Raptor. Raptor is a C library providing a set of parsers and serializers for the Resource Description Framework. Raptor is added to the LSB Application Battery to test libxml2.

lsb-rsync
LSB conforming version of rsync. Rsync is a program for bringing remote and host files into sync very quickly. Rsync is fast because it just sends the differences in the files over the network instead of sending the complete files. Rsync is often used as a very powerful mirroring process or just as a more capable replacement for the rcp command. Rsync is added to the LSB Application Battery primarly to demonstrate the use of networking.

lsb-samba
LSB conforming version of samba. Samba provides an SMB server that can be used to provide network services to SMB (sometimes called "Lan Manager") clients. Samba uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT) protocols and does NOT need the NetBEUI (Microsoft Raw NetBIOS frame) protocol. Samba is added to the LSB Application Battery primarly to demonstrate the use of networking and of PAM-based authentication.

lsb-scribus
This is a LSB-conforming version of Scribus, a popular desktop publishing program. This application has been added to test Qt3 compliance.

lsb-tcl
LSB conforming version of tcl. Tcl is a simple scripting language designed to be embedded in other applications. This package also includes tclsh, a simple example of a Tcl application. Tcl is added to the LSB Application Battery primarly because the included test suite exercises many LSB features; it also provides a dependency for the LSB conforming version of expect.

lsb-transmission
LSB conforming version of transmission. Added to the LSB application battery to test libcairo interfaces.

lsb-xpaint
LSB conforming version of xpaint. XPaint is an X Window System color image editing program and painting program. Xpaint is added to the LSB Application Battery primarly to demonstrate the use of X11 libraries.

lsb-xpdf
LSB conforming version of xpdf. Xpdf is an X Window System based viewer for Portable Document Format (PDF) files. Xpdf is a small and efficient program which uses standard X fonts. Xpdf is added to the LSB Application Battery primarly to demonstrate the use of C++ programs which exercise the X11 libraries.

lsb-xscreensaver
LSB conforming version of xscreensaver. Added to the LSB application battery to test libgdk_pixbuf_xlib interfaces.

lsb-gaim
LSB conforming version of gaim. gaim is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client. gaim is added to the LSB Application Battery to test gtk2.

Base Packages

lsb-dummy
This package will (unofficially) bump an LSB 3.0 or 3.1 system to 4.0 while still leaving the previous "Provides" in place. It can also be used on a non-LSB compliant system to simulate compliance. It does the above functions by providing the lsb-core- and lsb-graphics- dependencies needed by other packages, such as the LSB application battery.

lsb-setup
Basic LSB /opt/lsb filesystem package
