This package provides a Hyprland implementation of wayland-scanner, in and for C++.

Displaying and dumping information on Direct Rendering Manager devices.

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.

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 contains a number of commandline utilities for use inside Flatpak sandboxes and other containers, like guix shell --container. They work by talking to portals. Currently, there is flatpak-spawn for running commands in sandboxes as well as xdg-open and xdg-email, which are compatible with the well-known scripts of the same name.

Exempi is an implementation of the Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP), which enables embedding metadata in PDF and image formats.

This package provides a straightforward implementation of the XDG Base Directory Specification.

Wev is a tool that opens a window, printing all events sent to a Wayland window, such as key presses. It is analogous to the X11 tool XEv.

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

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.

poweralertd is a daemon that watches for UPower events and notifies the user using any notification daemon implementing org.freedesktop.Notifications.

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::Basedir can be used to find directories and files as specified by the Freedesktop.org Base Directory Specification. This specifications gives a mechanism to locate directories for configuration, application data and cache data.

Localed is a tiny daemon that can be used to control the system locale and keyboard mapping from user programs. It is used among other things by the GNOME Shell. The localectl command-line tool allows you to interact with localed. This package is extracted from the broader systemd package.

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.

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.

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.

AppStream is a cross-distribution effort for enhancing the way we interact with the software repositories provided by distributions by standardizing software component metadata. It provides the foundation to build software-center applications, by providing metadata necessary for an application-centric view on package repositories. It additionally provides specifications for things like an unified software metadata database, screenshot services and various other things needed to create user-friendly application-centers for distributions.

Telepathy Mission Control 5 is an account manager and channel dispatcher for the Telepathy framework, allowing user interfaces and other clients to share connections to real-time communication services without conflicting.

power-profiles-daemon offers to modify system behaviour based upon user-selected power profiles. There are 3 different power profiles, a "balanced" default mode, a "power-saver" mode, as well as a "performance" mode. The first 2 of those are available on every system. The "performance" mode is only available on select systems and is implemented by different "drivers" based on the system or systems it targets. In addition to those 2 or 3 modes (depending on the system), "actions" can be hooked up to change the behaviour of a particular device. For example, this can be used to disable the fast-charging for some USB devices when in power-saver mode.

The udiskie program is a udisks2 front-end that manages removable media such as CDs or flash drives from userspace.

Its features include:

• automount removable media,

• notifications,

• tray icon,

• command line tools for manual (un)mounting,

• LUKS encrypted devices,

• unlocking with keyfiles,

• loop devices (mounting ISO archives),
