Packages

This page groups software packages by source (such as Apache, GNU and OpenBSD) or by theme (e.g., Security). Eventually there will be (at least) one internal wiki page for anything available here.

So you want to know what is here and is "GNU", go to the GNU section. Looking for Apache Software Foundation Projects - See Apache. "Original" software is in the category AIXTOOLS.

Packages by Software Source

Origin	Summary (follow links for details)
AIXTOOLS	These are projects of my own where I manage the sources myself. buildaix - scripts to aid using AIX tool mkinstallp idsldap - scripts to simplify installing LDAP on AIX libperfstat - the samples as an installable package. perftools attcp cpu loader
Apache	Apache Software Foundation Apache web server is their first - and best known project. And this is the project that motivated me to develop buildaix Starting with Apache 2.4 the APR API and utilities were moved outside the HTTPD Server Project - so all three are needed for an install. Note: I am considering a bundled package of APR and HTTPD because APR is dependent on the compiler used (xlC or gcc). In the current HTTPD source downloads the is a script build/aix/buildaix.ksh. This is how the package here was built (with xlC v11). If you use that script the installp packages begin with ASF rather than aixtools or buildaix. For my own packaging I am now relying on my buildaix package (inspired by what I did for httpd, but that was too restricted) - this is much easier to update with new features (than in httpd).
	ant apr apr-util httpd	httpd-2.2	httpd.2.4
GNOME	These are packages that have their origins in the GNOME project. They are needed as dependencies for other projects.
	glib pkgconfig xml-i18n-tools	libxml2 libxslt
GNU	autoconf automake bash binutils cmake	coreutils diffutils ed emacs flex	gawk gcc -- version 4.7.4 only gettext gmp gperf grep	less libiconv libidn libtool libunistring lz -- aka lzip (nongnu)	m4 make aka gmake mpc mpfr nano	patch readline tar aka gtar texinfo wget
GCRYPT	gnupg libassuan libgcrypt libgpg-error libksba npth
Python	aka CPYTHON - has two versions of Python - Python2 and Python3. For historical reasons aixtools.python is the product name for Python2. As of December 2016 aixtools.python3 is the product name for Python3 python python3
openBSD	OpenBSD is a software foundation that produces a new version of the OS openBSD about every 6 months. They release tools in two releases - for openbsd and so-called portable versions that include bits needed for other operating systems. They are best known for maintaining openssh. Additionally, they started a new release of the OpenSSL API named libreSSL. openssh libreSSL
SourceForge	expat flex libpng zlib
MISC	These are packages from various sources - not big enough, like GNU - to be a separate section. libxml2 unzip zip
