bison:    GNU bison parser generator version 1.25.
bison:
bison:    Bison is a parser generator in the style of yacc(1).  It should be
bison:    upwardly compatible with input files designed for yacc.

byacc:    Berkeley Yacc is an LALR(1) parser generator.  Berkeley Yacc
byacc:    has been made as compatible as possible with AT&T Yacc.  Berkeley
byacc:    Yacc can accept any input specification that conforms to the AT&T
byacc:    Yacc documentation.  Specifications that take advantage of 
byacc:    undocumented features of AT&T Yacc will probably be rejected.

byacc:    If you skip this package and install GNU bison, a /usr/bin/yacc
byacc:    shell script will be created which will allow you to use bison
byacc:    instead. (It contains 'bison -y $*')

gcl:      GNU Common LISP 2.2.2
gcl:
gcl:      The GNU Common LISP system.  The GCL system contains C and Lisp source
gcl:      files to build a Common Lisp system.  The original KCL system was

gcl:      work was begun in 1987 by William Schelter and continued through 1994.
gcl:      In 1994 AKCL was released as GCL (GNU Common Lisp) under the GNU
gcl:      Public Library License.

gmake:    GNU make utility 3.76.1.
gmake:
gmake:    This is the GNU implementation of make, which was written by Richard
gmake:    Stallman and Roland McGrath.  The purpose of the make utility is to
gmake:    determine automatically which pieces of a large program need to be 
gmake:    recompiled, and issue the commands to recompile them.  
gmake:
gmake:    This is needed to compile just about any major C program, including
gmake:    the Linux kernel.

libc:     Development libraries for the C compiler.
libc:
libc:     These libraries are needed to compile C code in the ELF format.    
libc:
libc:     Includes the 5.4.46 Linux C libraries, libcurses 1.0.0, 
libc:     GNU libgdbm 1.7.3, libtermcap 2.0.8, and BSD db 1.85.4.

linuxinc: Linux 2.0.35 kernel include files
linuxinc:
linuxinc: These are the include files from the 2.0.35 Linux kernel.  You'll 
linuxinc: need these to compile most system software for Linux.  These header
linuxinc: files are matched to the current C library header files, so you might
linuxinc: want to keep using these for your compiles even if you switch to a
linuxinc: new Linux kernel.

m4:       GNU m4 1.4
m4:
m4:       This is release 1.4 of GNU m4, a program which copies its input to the
m4:       output, expanding macros as it goes.  m4 has built-in functions for
m4:       including named files, running Unix commands, doing integer 
m4:       arithmetic, manipulating text in various ways, recursion, etc...  
m4:       Macros can also be user-defined, and can take any number of arguments.
m4:       GNU 'm4' has been originally written by Rene Seindal, from Denmark.

svgalib:  Svgalib Super-VGA Graphics Library 1.3.0
svgalib: 
svgalib:  A video hardware graphics library, based on VGAlib 1.2.  Supports most

terminfo: Complete /usr/share/terminfo database.
terminfo:
terminfo: This is the the master terminfo database maintained by Eric Raymond.
terminfo: This database is the official descendant of the 4.4BSD termcap file,
terminfo: and includes information about virtually every terminal known.  The
terminfo: ncurses libraries use this database to adjust screen output for the
terminfo: terminal type in use.  Unless you're allowing logins from terminal
terminfo: types other than the Linux console, xterms, or vt100 terminals, you
terminfo: probably won't need this database - a minimal /usr/share/terminfo with
terminfo: support for those types is included in the ncurses package.
