CVS only stores the differences between versions, instead of every version of every file you've ever created. CVS also keeps a log of who, when and why changes occurred. CVS is very helpful for managing releases and controlling the concurrent editing of source files among multiple authors. Instead of providing version control for a collection of files in a single directory, CVS provides version control for a hierarchical collection of directories consisting of revision controlled files. These directories and files can then be combined together to form a software release. Install the cvs package if you need to use a version control system.Cdp is an interactive text-mode program for playing audio CDs. Install cdp to play audio CDs on your system.Central European language fonts for the X Window System.Cleanfeed is an automatic spam filter for Usenet news servers and routers (INN, Cyclone, Typhoon, Breeze and NNTPRelay).

Cproto can also convert function definitions between the old style and the ANSI C style. This conversion will overwrite the original files, however, so be sure to make a backup copy of your original files in case something goes wrong. Cproto uses a Yacc generated parser, so it shouldn't be confused by complex function definitions as much as other prototype generators. Cproto will be useful for C programmers, so install cproto if you are going to do any C programming.Creates a shared library cache and maintains symlinks for ld.so.Creates an image of an ISO9660 filesystem.Creates, views and edits BSD UNIX style disk labels on Alphas.Cyrillic fonts for X.DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and BOOTP (Boot Protocol) are protocols which allow individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration information (IP address, subnetmask, broadcast address, etc.) from network servers. The overall purpose of DHCP and BOOTP is to make it easier to administer a large network. Pump is a combined BOOTP and DHCP client daemon, which allows your machine to retrieve configuration information from a server. You should install this package if you are on a network which uses BOOTP or DHCP.Desktop background images.Development examples for the LibGTop library.Development files and documentation for the Qt GUI toolkit.Development files for EsounD applications.Development files for applications which will manipulate RPM packages.Development files for programs which will use the readline library.Development files for writing plug-ins for the X11Amp music player.Development libraries and header files for the gdbm library.Development libraries, header files and utilities for ORBit.Development module for Python code to access a PostgreSQL DB.Development module needed for Perl code to access a PostgreSQL DB.Development tools for GTK+ (GIMP ToolKit) applications.Development tools for Imlib applications.Development tools for programs to manipulate PNG image format files.Development tools for programs using the SVGAlib graphics library.Development tools for programs which will use the libgr library.Development tools for programs which will use the libjpeg library.Development tools for programs which will use the libtiff library.Development tools for programs which will use the libungif library.Development tools for the Apache Web server.Development tools for the GNU MP arbitrary precision library.Development/DebuggersDevelopment/LanguagesDevelopment/LibrariesDevelopment/SystemDevelopment/ToolsDiffutils includes four utilities: diff, cmp, diff3 and sdiff. Diff compares two files and shows the differences, line by line. The cmp command shows the offset and line numbers where two files differ, or cmp can show the characters that differ between the two files. The diff3 command shows the differences between three files. Diff3 can be used when two people have made independent changes to a common original; diff3 can produce a merged file that contains both sets of changes and warnings about conflicts. The sdiff command can be used to merge two files interactively. Install diffutils if you need to compare text files.Dip is a modem dialer. Dip handles the connections needed for dialup IP links like SLIP or PPP. Dip can handle both incoming and outgoing connections, using password security for incoming connections. Dip is useful for setting up PPP and SLIP connections, but isn't required for either. Netcfg uses dip for setting up SLIP connections. Install dip if you need a utility which will handle dialup IP connections.Displays the users logged into machines on the local network.Displays where a particular program in your path is located.Displays who is logged in to local network machines.DocumentationDocumentation for the GNU Bourne Again shell (bash) version 2.03.Documentation for the Python programming language.Documentation on various X11 programming interfaces.Dosemu is a DOS emulator. Once you've installed dosemu, start the DOS emulator by typing in the dos command. You need to install dosemu if you use DOS programs and you want to be able to run them on your Red Hat Linux system. You may also need to install the dosemu-freedos package.Dvilj and dvilj's siblings (included in this package) will convert TeX text formatting system output .dvi files to HP PCL (HP Printer Control Language) commands. Using dvilj, you can print TeX files to HP LaserJet+ and fully compatible printers. With dvilj2p, you can print to HP LaserJet IIP and fully compatible printers. And with dvilj4, you can print to HP LaserJet4 and fully compatible printers. If you are installing tetex, so that you can use the TeX text formatting system, you will also need to install tetex-dvilj. In addition, you will need to install tetex-afm (for converting PostScript font description files), tetex-dvips (for converting .dvi files to PostScript format for printing on PostScript printers), tetex-latex (a higher level formatting package which provides an easier-to-use interface for TeX) and tetex-xdvi (for previewing .dvi files in X). If you're installing TeX and you're not a TeX expert, you'll also want to install the tetex-doc package, which contains documentation for TeX.Dvips converts .dvi files produced by the TeX text formatting system (or by another processor like GFtoDVI) to PostScript(TM) format.
