' We are using browser cookies to track your browser session.
' The reason is that you can see your uploaded screenshots instantly

h2 Which software packages are listed?

' The information on packages listed on this site is taken from APT repositories

' candidates for screenshots like transitional packages, header files or debug
' packages. The repositories that we are scanning frequently are:
' I import the package repositories from various Linux
' distributions once a day. However we already filter out packages that
' we think would not be able to have a meaningful screenshot.
' Like libraries or documentation or developer packages. So it may happen
' that you a package is not found on this web sites although it may be
' available in your favorite Linux distribution. Just let me know if you
' are missing packages.
