===== Software Packages on SDF by Category =====

This page is intended to present the many, many software packages & programs currently installed on SDF, sorted into categories for ease of reference. New users can refer to this file when trying to find programs, and even long-time SDFers can possibly discover something new here.

Note that this list is not expected to contain every single package currently installed. For a complete list of packages on SDF, see [[http://sdf.org/index.cgi?software|here]]. For a complete list of software that //could// be installed see [[ftp://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/current/pkgsrc/README-all.html|here]]. Software requests are made by making a post on the 'bboard'  board.

Programs marked "ARPA", "MetaARPA", "DBA", or similar can only be run by users with the specified membership level.

=== Guidelines for Maintaining This File ===

  * Only programs that are located in the default users' PATH should be listed here; i.e., user-written software in "/sys/sdf/bin" should be left out.
  * Custom commands specific to SDF should be left out. There is already a list of them [[http://jwodder.freeshell.org/sdf/commands.html|here]].
  * Make sure that a program is currently installed by seeing whether it exists in the PATH (e.g., with ""command -v program"" or ""finbin program""). There are many programs that don't have manual pages, and in some cases there may be manual pages left behind from old programs that were uninstalled.
  * While you don't have to, it would be nice if you included a brief description of what each command does along with a link to its official project page (if any).
  * Be sure to list membership requirements for programs that only ARPA or MetaARPA users can run.
  * Try to only list programs that fall into a specific category. You may add a new category if you feel one is needed, but only if you can find more than one program that fits into the new category (three or four programs seems like a good minimum, but we won't force you to follow this rule).
  * If you don't know what a program does (at least not well enough to place it into a category), don't add it.
  * If several closely-related programs come together as part of the same package (e.g., "strfile" and "unstr" with "fortune", or all of the GhostScript programs), only give the name of the main program.
  * If a program currently just doesn't work (e.g., "hnb"), don't list it here.
