Package: cernlib-extras (2005.dfsg-5)

miscellaneous Cernlib programs unlikely to be used by many

Cernlib is a suite of data analysis tools and libraries created for use in physics experiments, but also with applications to other fields such as the biological sciences.

This metapackage provides a few additional Cernlib programs not included in any other Cernlib metapackage. Very few people are likely to be interested in them; currently they include zftp, pawserv and zserv. Notice that the latter two programs run as daemons through inetd and may reduce your system's security!

Installing this package along with the "cernlib" metapackage will supply a complete set of all Cernlib programs and libraries included in Debian.
