pcre-6.6-1.1 - pcre-6.6-2.el5_1.7

• Group: 

 System Environment/Libraries

• Summary: 

 Perl-compatible regular expression library

• Description:

Perl-compatible regular expression library.
PCRE has its own native API, but a set of "wrapper" functions that are
 based on
the POSIX API are also supplied in the library libpcreposix. Note that
 this
just provides a POSIX calling interface to PCRE: the regular
 expressions
themselves still follow Perl syntax and semantics. The header file
for the POSIX-style functions is called pcreposix.h.

• No added dependencies

pcsc-lite-1.3.1-7 - pcsc-lite-1.4.4-0.1.el5

• Group: 

 System Environment/Daemons

• Summary: 

 PC/SC Lite smart card framework and applications

• Description:

The purpose of PC/SC Lite is to provide a Windows(R) SCard interface
in a very small form factor for communicating to smartcards and
readers. PC/SC Lite uses the same winscard API as used under
Windows(R). This package includes the PC/SC Lite daemon, a resource
manager that coordinates communications with smart card readers and
smart cards that are connected to the system, as well as other command
line tools.

• No added dependencies

• No removed dependencies
