Debian Edu Development packages

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

This package will install the integrated development environment that allows for program writing, code verification, compiling, and uploading to the Arduino development board. Example code will also be installed.

Some base AVR libraries will be provided by the depending additional package arduino-core-avr. More libraries can be installed within the IDE itself by calling the libarary manager. This requires a working internet access.

The standard for FSF source packages. This is only useful if you write your own programs or if you extensively modify other people's programs.

For an extensive library of additional Autoconf macros, install the `autoconf-archive' package.

This version of autoconf is not compatible with scripts meant for Autoconf 2.13 or earlier.

Bluefish is a powerful editor targeted towards programmers and web developers, with many options to write websites, scripts and programming code. Bluefish supports a wide variety of programming and markup languages and has many features, e.g.

• Customizable code folding, auto indenting and completion
• Support for remote files operation over FTP, SFTP, HTTPS, WebDAV, etc.
• Site upload and download
• Powerful search and replace engine
• Customizable integration of external programs such as lint, make, etc
• Snippets plugin to automate often used code
• Code-aware in-line spell checking
• Zencoding or Emmet support
• Bookmarks panel

but is still lightweight and fast.

For validation of CSS/HTML/XML documents you need csstidy, tidy, weblint and/or xmllint. For preview to work, you need a web browser that can view local files given to it on the command line. For PHP or Python bluefish supports php-codesniffer and pylint. Tools not suggested but supported are make, perl, php5-cli and java-compiler.

If you do not plan to build Debian packages, you don't need this package. Starting with dpkg (>= 1.14.18) this package is required for building Debian packages.

This package contains an informational list of packages which are considered essential for building Debian packages. This package also depends on the packages on that list, to make it easy to have the build-essential packages installed.

If you have this package installed, you only need to install whatever a package specifies as its build-time dependencies to build the package. Conversely, if you are determining what your package needs to build-depend on, you can always leave out the packages this package depends on.

This package is NOT the definition of what packages are build-essential; the real definition is in the Debian Policy Manual. This package contains merely an informational list, which is all most people need. However, if this package and the manual disagree, the manual is correct.

The Bywater BASIC Interpreter (bwBASIC) implements a large superset of the ANSI Standard for Minimal BASIC (X3.60-1978) and a significant subset of the ANSI Standard for Full BASIC (X3.113-1987) in C. It also offers shell programming facilities as an extension of BASIC. bwBASIC seeks to be as portable as possible.

Code::Blocks is a cross-platform Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It is based on a self-developed plugin framework allowing unlimited extensibility. Most of its functionality is already provided by plugins. Plugins included in the base package are:

crystal-facet-uml creates sysml/uml diagrams to document system and software architecture.

As software architect, you create a set of diagrams describing use-cases, requirements, structural views, behavioral and deployment views. crystal-facet-uml keeps element names and element hierarchies consistent. It exports diagrams in svg, pdf, ps and png formats to be used in text processing systems like DocBook, html, LaTeX. crystal-facet-uml exports the model to json and xmi format; json can also be imported. The json-based data format can be stored to git, branched and merged together with your source code. This tool runs on your local PC and is based on gtk (incl. glib, gdk, cairo, pango) and sqlite.

The Data Display Debugger (DDD) is a popular graphical user interface to UNIX debuggers such as GDB, DBX, XDB, JDB and others. Besides typical front-end features such as viewing source texts and breakpoints, DDD provides an interactive graphical data display, where data structures are displayed as graphs. Using DDD, you can reason about your application by watching its data, not just by viewing it execute lines of source code.

Other DDD features include: debugging of programs written in Ada, Bash, C, C++, Chill, Fortran, Java, Modula, Pascal, Perl and Python; machine-level debugging; hypertext source navigation and lookup; breakpoint, backtrace, and history editors; preferences and settings editors; program execution in terminal emulator window; debugging on remote host; on-line manual; interactive help on the Motif user interface; GDB/DBX/XDB command-line interface with full editing, history, and completion capabilities.

This version is linked against Lesstif, an LGPL-ed implementation of Motif.

Lazarus is an IDE to create (graphical and console) applications with Free Pascal, the (L)GPLed Pascal and Object Pascal compiler that runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and more.

Lazarus is the missing part of the puzzle that will allow you to develop programs for all of the above platforms in a Delphi-like environment. The IDE is a RAD tool that includes a form designer.

Unlike Java's "write once, run anywhere" motto, Lazarus and Free Pascal strive for "write once, compile anywhere". Since the exact same compiler is available on all of the above platforms you don't need to do any recoding to produce identical products for different platforms.

In short, Lazarus is a free RAD tool for Free Pascal using its Lazarus Component Library (LCL).

This dependency package always depends on the latest available version of the metapackage pulling in all the packages needed to have a typical Lazarus installation.

This package provides the Python3 modules EasyGUI. Experienced Pythonistas need support for quick and dirty GUI features.
