It lets you process your source files by running TeX and related tools (such as output filters, post processors for generating indices and bibliographies, and viewers) from inside Emacs. AUCTeX lets you browse through the errors TeX reported, while it moves the cursor directly to the reported error, and displays some documentation for that particular error. This will even work when the document is spread over several files. . One component of AUCTeX that LaTeX users will find attractive is preview-latex, a combination of folding and in-source previewing that provides true "What You See Is What You Get" experience in your sourcebuffer, while letting you retain full control. preview-latex comes with its own manual. . AUCTeX automatically indents your `LaTeX-source', not only as you write it---you can also let it indent and format an entire document. It has a special outline feature, which can greatly help you `getting an overview' of a document. . Apart from these special features, AUCTeX provides a large range of handy Emacs macros, which in several different ways can help you write your documents fast and painlessly. . All features of AUCTeX are documented using the GNU Emacs online documentation system. That is, documentation for any command is just a key click away! . AUCTeX is written entirely in Emacs-Lisp, and hence you can easily add new features for your own needs. It has become recently a GNU project. AUCTeX is distributed under the `GNU General Public License Version 2'. . Currently XEmacs ships with its own AUCTeX, so this package should only be used with GNU/Emacs.

Package: bdf2psf Description-md5: ef818d3d3b7465e16a18763ce8b1e9e8 Description-en_GB: Font converter to generate console fonts from BDF source fonts This is a command line converter that can be used in scripts to build automatically console fonts from BDF sources. The converter comes with a collection of font encodings that cover many of the world languages; notice that the font encoding (so called SFM) does not need to follow the actually used encoding (so called ACM). When the source font does not define a glyph for a symbol in the font encoding the glyph position in the console font is not wasted but used for another symbol. . When deciding about the position in the font for a particular glyph, the converter takes into account that in text video modes the video adapter copies the 8th column of the glyph matrix of symbols positioned in the pseudographic area to the 9th column. In order to create fonts for text video modes the width of the glyph matrix of the source BDF font should be 7, 8 or 9 pixels, otherwise the converter creates fonts suitable for framebuffer only.

Package: cdrdao Description-md5: 27c1ea6fa8a4913e9dd3ddfb6c692c21 Description-en_GB: records CDs in Disk-At-Once (DAO) mode cdrdao records audio or data CD-Rs in disk-at-once (DAO) mode based on a textual description of the CD contents. . Recording in disk-at-once mode writes the complete disc, i.e. lead-in, one or more tracks and lead-out, in a single step. The commonly used track-at-once (TAO) mode writes each track independently which requires link blocks between two tracks. You probably want to use this if you're copying a CD with multiple tracks, like most audio CDs. . cdrdao can also handle the bin/cue format commonly used for VCDs or disks with subchannel data. . If you just want to burn a normal data CD, you probably want wodim instead.

The output from unit tests can be used within source code editors and IDEs. Package: checksecurity Description-md5: 26c46b0bdb352b8c55ce0f21193e0c60 Description-en_GB: basic system security checks Checksecurity does some very basic system security checks, such as looking for changes in which programs have setuid permissions, and that remote filesystems are not allowed to have runnable setuid programs. . Note that these are not to be considered in any way complete, and you should not rely on checksecurity to actually provide any useful information concerning the security or vulnerability of your system. . The lockfile-progs package is only a "Suggests" because of the poor way that dselect handles "Recommends", but I do strongly suggest that you install it; it prevents /etc/cron.daily/standard from running multiple times if something gets jammed. . Checksecurity was previously part of the cron package.
