Debian packaging utilities for Truecrypt source 20080928 (Default branch)
Debian packaging utilities for Truecrypt source helps to get Truecrypt running with a minimum of effort under Debian-based Linux systems (Debian and Ubuntu are officially supported). Truecrypt is an open source disk encryption software which uses a concept of containers to store encrypted data. The containers (or volumes) can be read transparently under Linux and Windows. The utilities create installable *.deb packages from the sources and those debs can be used in turn to install the encryption software. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes:
This is a major release. Package names have changed to tc-*, so that trademark name usage is now more accurate. The *.deb control files now contain proper "Conflicts:" to prevent installation of the same software twice. Previous deb packages are not compatible with the ones generated with this release. A few manual "dpkg --purge" commands need to be given during upgrade. Image

POPULARITY-CONTEST(8)													     POPULARITY-CONTEST(8)

NAME

       popularity-contest - list the most popular Debian packages

SYNOPSIS

       popularity-contest

DESCRIPTION

       The  popularity-contest command gathers information about Debian packages installed on the system, and prints the name of the most recently
       used executable program in that package as well as its last-accessed time (atime) and last-attribute-changed time (ctime) to stdout.

       When aggregated with the output of popularity-contest from many other systems, this information is valuable  because  it  can  be  used	to
       determine  which  Debian  packages are commonly installed, used, or installed and never used.  This helps Debian maintainers make decisions
       such as	which packages should be installed by default on new systems.

       The resulting statistic is available from the project home page http://popcon.debian.org/.

       Normally, popularity-contest is run from a cron(8) job, /etc/cron.daily/popularity-contest, which  automatically  submits  the  results	to
       Debian  package	maintainers  (only  once  a week) according to the settings in /etc/popularity-contest.conf and /usr/share/popularity-con-
       test/default.conf.
