fakeroot runs a command in an environment where it appears to have root privileges for file manipulation. This is useful for allowing users to create archives (tar, ar, deb, etc.) with files in them with root permissions and/or ownership.

Without fakeroot, one would have to have root privileges to create the constituent files of the archives with the correct permissions and ownership, and then pack them up, or one would have to construct the archives directly, without using the archiver.

GNU Linux-Libre is a free (as in freedom) variant of the Linux kernel. It has been modified to remove all non-free binary blobs.

This package provides commands to create and check XFS file systems.

WirePlumber is a modular session / policy manager for PipeWire and a GObject-based high-level library that wraps PipeWire's API, providing convenience for writing the daemon's modules as well as external tools for managing PipeWire.

Thinkfan is a simple fan control program. It reads temperatures, checks them against configured limits and switches to appropriate (also pre-configured) fan level. It requires a working thinkpad_acpi or any other hwmon driver that enables temperature reading and fan control from userspace.

psmisc is a set of small utilities that use the proc file system.

• fuser identifies processes using files or sockets;

• killall kills processes by name;

• prtstat prints statistics of a process;

• pslog prints the log file(s) of a process;

• pstree shows the currently running processes as a tree;

• peekfd shows the data travelling over a file descriptor.

pflask is a simple tool for creating Linux namespace containers. It can be used for running a command or even booting an OS inside an isolated container, created with the help of Linux namespaces. It is similar in functionality to chroot, although pflask provides better isolation thanks to the use of namespaces.

LIRC allows computers to send and receive IR signals of many commonly used remote controls. The most important part of LIRC is the lircd daemon that decodes IR signals received by the device drivers. The second daemon program lircmd translates IR signals to mouse movements. The user space applications allow you to control your computer with a remote control: you can send X events to applications, start programs and much more on just one button press.

CheckL lets you write tests dynamically, it checks resulting values against the last run.

The Lisp Critic scans your code for instances of bad Lisp programming practice.

Parachute is a simple-to-use and extensible testing framework. In Parachute, things are organised as a bunch of named tests within a package. Each test can contain a bunch of test forms that make up its body.

This package provides a Common Lisp collection of assertions.

CLUnit2 is a Common Lisp unit testing framework. It is designed to be easy to use so that you can quickly start testing.

lisp-unit is a Common Lisp library that supports unit testing. It is an extension of the library written by Chris Riesbeck.

Confidence is a test framework for Common Lisp that focuses on simplicity. It avoids bureaucracy and makes it easy to work interactively, without a complicated setup, and with explicit functions and decisions.

The XLUnit package is a toolkit for building test suites. It is based on the XPTest package by Craig Brozensky and the JUnit package by Kent Beck.

cl-hamcrest is an implementation of the Hamcrest idea in Common Lisp. It simplifies unit tests and makes them more readable. Hamcrest uses the idea of pattern-matching, to construct matchers from different pieces and to apply them to the data.

LISP-UNIT2 is a Common Lisp library that supports unit testing in the style of JUnit for Java. It is a new version of the lisp-unit library written by Chris Riesbeck.

Try is a library for unit testing with equal support for interactive and non-interactive workflows. Tests are functions, and almost everything else is a condition, whose types feature prominently in parameterization.
