2026-08-12: lxml-py310-6.1.1-1 (Binding for the libxml2 and libxslt)
The C libraries libxml2 and libxslt have huge benefits:
* Standards-compliant XML support.
* Full-featured. (e.g. supports XPath)
* Actively maintained by XML experts.
* fast
lxml is a new Python binding for libxml2 and libxslt, completely
independent from these existing Python bindings. Its aim:
* Pythonic API.
* Documented.
* Use Python unicode strings in API.
* Safe (no segfaults).
* No manual memory management!
lxml aims to provide a Pythonic API by following as much as possible
the ElementTree API. We're trying to avoid having to invent too many
new APIs, or you having to learn new things -- XML is complicated
enough.

lxml-py: v6.1.12026-08-11: cython-py39-3.2.4-1 (Tool to make writing Python modules easy)
Cython is a language specially designed for writing Python extension
modules. It's designed to bridge the gap between the nice,
high-level, easy-to-use world of Python and the messy, low-level
world of C. Cython is based upon the well-known Pyrex package, but
supports more cutting edge functionality and optimizations. To use
the cython compiler, type cython at the prompt.
Note: This package uses update-alternatives to allow cython for different
versions of python to be installed simultaneously. '%p/bin/cython' will
always point to the highest installed version; use (e.g.) 'cython-py38'
to choose others.

cython-py: v3.2.42026-08-10: erlang-otp-28.4-1 (General-purpose programming language)
Erlang is a general-purpose programming language and runtime environment.
Erlang has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault
tolerance. Erlang is used in several large telecommunication systems
from Ericsson. The most popular implementation of Erlang is available as
open source from the open source erlang site.

erlang-otp: v28.4
from #1310 submission2026-08-10: vim-9.2.927-1 (Improved version of the editor "vi")
VIM adds many of the features that you would expect in an editor:
Unlimited undo, syntax coloring, split windows, visual selection,
graphical user interface (read: menus, mouse control, scrollbars,
text selection), and much much more.

Vim: Welcome to Vim-9.2.927.2026-08-09: wxwidgets320-osxcocoa-3.2.11-1 (Cross-platform GUI API)
In addition to common and advanced GUI facilities such as
frames, scrolling windows, toolbars, tree controls, icons,
device contexts, printing, splitter windows and so on, there are
wrappers for common file operations, and facilities for writing
TCP/IP applications, thread handling, and more. Where certain
features are not available on a platform, such as MDI and tree
controls on Unix, they are emulated.

wxWidgets: v3.2.112026-08-08: unixodbc-2.3.14-1 (ODBC 3 connectivity for Unix)
The unixODBC project provides UNIX applications with the same ODBC 3.51 API and
facilities available under Windows. It provides a Driver Manager that supports
the full ODBC API and performs the ODBC 3 to ODBC 2 translations with UNICODE
to ANSI conversion. It also includes a set of graphical utilities that allows
users to specify connections to DBMSes to be used by applications, a collection
of ODBC drivers including a simple text based driver, an NNTP drivers, a
Postgres driver and others, and a selection of templates and libraries that to
aid in the construction of ODBC drivers. It works with MySQL, Postgres,
StarOffice, Applixware, iHTML, PHP, Perl DBD::ODBC, Paradox 9, and many other
applications and drivers. Connection pooling is also provided to increase
performance with applications such as PHP.
