Name : bison
Version : 1.875c
Release : 1
Summary : A GNU general-purpose parser generator.
Description :
Bison is a general purpose parser generator that converts a grammar description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a C program to parse that grammar. Bison can be used to develop a wide range of language parsers, from ones used in simple desk calculators to complex programming languages. Bison is upwardly compatible with Yacc, so any correctly written Yacc grammar should work with Bison without any changes. If you know Yacc, you shouldn't have any trouble using Bison. You do need to be very proficient in C programming to be able to use Bison. Bison is only needed on systems that are used for development.
If your system will be used for C development, you should install Bison.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product : Fedora Core 2
Name : net-tools
Version : 1.60
Release : 25.1
Summary : Basic networking tools.
Description :
The net-tools package contains basic networking tools, including ifconfig, netstat, route, and others.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The code in netlink.c is based in part on the code of iproute. It was not updated when CAN-2003-0856 was announced. The code in question is within the netlink_listen & netlink_receive_dump functions. They should both check the source of the packets by looking at nl_pid and ensuring that it is 0 before performing any reconfiguration of network interfaces.
These updated packages now contain the latest netplug daemon which fixes that problem. All users of netplug are strongly encouraged to upgrade to these new packages.

Name : gimp
Version : 1.2.5
Release : 2
Summary : The GNU Image Manipulation Program.
Description :
The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful image composition and editing program, which can be extremely useful for creating logos and other graphics for webpages. The GIMP has many of the tools and filters you would expect to find in similar commercial offerings, and some interesting extras as well. The GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo.
The GIMP includes a scripting facility, but many of the included scripts rely on fonts that we cannot distribute. The GIMP FTP site has a package of fonts that you can install by yourself, which includes all the fonts needed to run the included scripts. Some of the fonts have unusual licensing requirements; all the licenses are documented in the package. Get ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/freefonts-0.10.tar.gz and ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/fonts/sharefonts-0.10.tar.gz if you are so inclined. Alternatively, choose fonts which exist on your system before running the scripts.

Summary : The PHP HTML-embedded scripting language. (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor)
Description :
PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it easy for developers to write dynamically generated webpages. PHP also offers built-in database integration for several commercial and non-commercial database management systems, so writing a database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts. The mod_php module enables the Apache Web server to understand and process the embedded PHP language in Web pages.
