Excluded FOSS software
Some Free/Open Source Software cannot be included in Fedora Linux because of various technical reasons. This page documents these tools and includes suggestions and alternatives for users.
Software | Description | Why not included | Suggestion |
---|---|---|---|
Brian (version 1) |
A clock driven simulator for spiking neural networks. |
Version 1 is no longer being developed. It also does not support Python 3 and thus cannot be included in Fedora. |
Please use Brian2 which is included in Fedora. |
HDFView is a visual tool for browsing and editing HDF4 and HDF5 files. |
It requires certain dependencies to build that cannot currently be included in Fedora. Please see this bug for more information. |
The HDF Group provides ready to use binaries for HDFView. Please download them directly from their website. You can use the build for CentOS 7. |
