This library supports a subset of the ATA S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) functionality.

The shared-mime-info package contains the core database of common types and the update-mime-database command used to extend it. It requires glib2 to be installed for building the update command. Additionally, it uses intltool for translations, though this is only a dependency for the maintainers. This database is translated at Transifex.

xdg-desktop-portal is a portal front-end service for Flatpak and possibly other desktop containment frameworks. It works by exposing a series of D-Bus interfaces known as portals under a well-known name (org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop) and object path (/org/freedesktop/portal/desktop).

The portal interfaces include APIs for file access, opening URIs, printing and others.

Libinput is a library to handle input devices for display servers and other applications that need to directly deal with input devices.

Libqmi is a GLib-based library for talking to WWAN modems and devices which speak the Qualcomm MSM Interface (QMI) protocol.

libfprint is a library designed to make it easy for application developers to add support for consumer fingerprint readers to their software.

Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process and that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. You are not supposed to install this on your own, it is only useful with system integration.

libdecor is a library that can help Wayland clients draw window decorations for them. It aims to provide multiple backends that implements the decoration drawing.

File::DesktopEntry parses .desktop files defined by the Freedesktop.org Desktop Entry specification. It can also run the applications define in those files.

This package provides C++ bindings for the Wayland display protocol.

This package provides a backend implementation for xdg-desktop-portal which uses GTK+ and various pieces of GNOME infrastructure, such as the org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot or org.gnome.SessionManager D-Bus interfaces.

Wayland-Protocols contains Wayland protocols that add functionality not available in the Wayland core protocol. Such protocols either add completely new functionality, or extend the functionality of some other protocol either in Wayland core, or some other protocol in wayland-protocols.

A library to allow applications to export a menu, originally into the Unity menu bar. Based on KSNI, it also works in KDE and will fallback to generic Systray support if none of those are available.

Libei provides a client and server implementation of the EI protocol for Wayland compositors.

Libmbim is a GLib-based library for talking to WWAN modems and devices which speak the Mobile Interface Broadband Model (MBIM) protocol.

uchardet is an encoding detector library, which takes a sequence of bytes in an unknown character encoding without any additional information, and attempts to determine the encoding of the text. Returned encoding names are iconv-compatible.

Snixembed is a program to proxy StatusNotifierItems as XEmbedded systemtray-spec icons. This allows programs that only support the newer StatusNotifierItem to have the older XEmbedded systemtray support. While snixembed works fine with most setups, some bars and DEs provide their own optional SNI support, which should be preferred when available.

Currently supported:

• icons (by pixmap and by freedesktop name)

• activation on left mouse button

• context menu on right mouse button (Menu dbusmenu or ContextMenu)

• tooltips (on hover, all markup except hyperlinks)

• limited AppIndicator support as a fallback

The portal interfaces include APIs for file access, opening URIs, printing and others.

Telepathy logger is a headless observer client that logs information received by the Telepathy framework. It features pluggable backends to log different sorts of messages in different formats.

Libglib-testing is a test library providing test harnesses and mock classes which complement the classes provided by GLib. It is intended to be used by any project which uses GLib and which wants to write internal unit tests.

This is a GTK convenience library for interacting with colord. It is useful for both applications which need colour management and applications that wish to perform colour calibration.

Waypipe is a proxy for Wayland clients, with the aim of supporting behavior like ssh -X.

Gabble is a Jabber/XMPP connection manager for the Telepathy framework, currently supporting:

• single-user chats

• multi-user chats

• voice/video calling

• file transfer

with Jabber/XMPP interoperability.

Telepathy is a D-Bus framework for unifying real time communication, including instant messaging, voice calls and video calls. It abstracts differences between protocols to provide a unified interface for applications.

Wayland is a project to define a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a library implementation of the protocol. The compositor can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client itself. The clients can be traditional applications, X servers (rootless or fullscreen) or other display servers.
