The GNU disk partition manipulation program
The GNU Parted program allows you to create, destroy, resize, move, and copy hard disk partitions. Parted can be used for creating space for new operating systems, reorganizing disk usage, and copying data to new hard disks.
Create device maps from partition tables.
Reads partition tables and create device maps over partitions segments detected.
The dosfstools package contains programs mkfs.fat, fsck.fat and fatlabel to create, check and label FAT family file systems.
Rsync is an open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer. It uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.
Core Plugins for DNF. This package enhances DNF with builddep, config-manager, copr, debug, debuginfo-install, download, needs-restarting, groups-manager, repoclosure, repograph, repomanage, reposync, changelog and repodiff commands. Additionally provides generate_completion_cache passive plugin.
A set of basic GNU tools commonly used in shell scripts
These are the GNU core utilities. This package is the combination of the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.
Interpreter of the Python3 programming language
Python combines remarkable power with very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems. New built-in modules are easily written in C or C++ (or other languages, depending on the chosen implementation). Python is also usable as an extension language for applications written in other languages that need easy-to-use scripting or automation interfaces. This package Provides python version 3.
An organized and systematic method of controlling a large amount of data
GNU Tar provides the ability to create tar archives, as well as various other kinds of manipulation. For example, you can use Tar on previously created archives to extract files, to store additional files, or to update or list files which were already stored.
Python 3 package of the kiwi. Provides an operating system image builder for Linux supported hardware platforms and for virtualization,such as Xen, KVM, VMware, EC2 and so on.
Bash is the GNU Project's shell. Bash is the Bourne Again SHell. Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh). It is intended to conform to the IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools standard. It offers functional improvements over sh for both programming and interactive use. In addition, most sh scripts can be run by Bash without modification.
A free general-purpose data compreession software with LZMA2 algorithm
XZ Utils is free general-purpose data compression software with a high compression ratio. XZ Utils were written for POSIX-like systems, but also work on some not-so-POSIX systems. XZ Utils are the successor to LZMA Utils. The core of the XZ Utils compression code is based on LZMA SDK, but it has been modified quite a lot to be suitable for XZ Utils. The primary compression algorithm is currently LZMA2, which is used inside the .xz container format. With typical files, XZ Utils create 30% smaller output than gzip and 15% smaller output than bzip2.
This metapackage installs the necessary system dependencies to run KIWI.
A library for making, reading and applying deltarpm packages
The drpm package provides a library for making, reading and applying deltarpms, compatible with the original deltarpm packages.
