Libnftnl is a userspace library providing a low-level netlink programming interface to the in-kernel nf_tables subsystem. The library libnftnl has been previously known as libnftables. This library is currently used by nftables.

Libavc1394 is a programming interface to the AV/C specification from the 1394 Trade Association. AV/C stands for Audio/Video Control.

PRoot is a user-space implementation of chroot, mount --bind, and binfmt_misc. This means that users don't need any privileges or setup to do things like using an arbitrary directory as the new root file system, making files accessible somewhere else in the file system hierarchy, or executing programs built for another CPU architecture transparently through QEMU user-mode. Also, developers can use PRoot as a generic process instrumentation engine thanks to its extension mechanism. Technically PRoot relies on ptrace, an unprivileged system-call available in the kernel Linux.

This package provides a statically linked ntfsfix taken from the ntfs-3g package. It is meant to be used in initrds.

strace is a system call tracer, i.e. a debugging tool which prints out a trace of all the system calls made by a another process/program.

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. Configuration options and patches have been applied for use with MNT/Reform systems.

Monitor a hardware random number generator, and supply entropy from that to the system kernel's /dev/random machinery.

NUMA stands for Non-Uniform Memory Access, in other words a system whose memory is not all in one place. The numactl program allows you to run your application program on specific CPUs and memory nodes. It does this by supplying a NUMA memory policy to the operating system before running your program.

The package contains other commands, such as numastat, memhog, and numademo which provides a quick overview of NUMA performance on your system.

The inotify-tools packages provides a C library and command-line tools to use Linux' inotify mechanism, which allows file accesses to be monitored.

This package provides a FUSE-based file system that provides read and write access to exFAT devices.

ltrace intercepts and records dynamic library calls which are called by an executed process and the signals received by that process. It can also intercept and print the system calls executed by the program.

This package provides a shell script to assess your system's resilience against the several transient execution CVEs that were published since early 2018, and gives guidance as to how to mitigate them.

Linux kernel patches and device-trees used for the MNT Reform systems

This package provides a library called libpfm4, which is used to develop monitoring tools exploiting the performance monitoring events such as those provided by the Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU) of modern processors.

Libpfm4 helps convert from an event name, expressed as a string, to the event encoding that is either the raw event as documented by the hardware vendor or the OS-specific encoding. In the latter case, the library is able to prepare the OS-specific data structures needed by the kernel to setup the event.

libpfm4 provides support for the perf_events interface, which was introduced in Linux 2.6.31.

archivemount is a FUSE-based file system for Unix variants, including Linux. Its purpose is to mount archives (i.e. tar, tar.gz, etc.) to a mount point where it can be read from or written to as with any other file system. This makes accessing the contents of the archive, which may be compressed, transparent to other programs, without decompressing them.

LVM2 is the logical volume management tool set for Linux-based systems. This package includes the user-space libraries and tools, including the device mapper. Kernel components are part of Linux-libre.

A suite of tools for manipulating the metadata of the dm-thin, dm-cache and dm-era device-mapper targets.

The EVDI is a Linux kernel module that enables management of multiple screens, allowing user-space programs to take control over what happens with the image. It is essentially a virtual display for which applications using the libevdi library can add, remove, and receive screen updates.

The EVDI driver uses the standard Linux DRM. Its displays can be controlled by standard tools such as xrandr and display settings applets in graphical environments.

This package contains ALSA UCM configuration of audio input/output names and routing for specific audio hardware.

UnionFS-FUSE is a flexible union file system implementation in user space, using the FUSE library. Mounting a union file system allows you to "aggregate" the contents of several directories into a single mount point. UnionFS-FUSE additionally supports copy-on-write.

ebtables is an application program used to set up and maintain the tables of rules (inside the Linux kernel) that inspect Ethernet frames. It is analogous to the iptables application, but less complicated, due to the fact that the Ethernet protocol is much simpler than the IP protocol.

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.

fakechroot runs a command in an environment were is additional possibility to use chroot command without root privileges. This is useful for allowing users to create own chrooted environment with possibility to install another packages without need for root privileges.

It works by providing libfakechroot.so, a shared library meant to be set as LD_PRELOAD to override the C library file system functions.

ALSA provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux-based operating system.
