Recent Package Updates
2025-09-16: gdcm26-shlibs-2.6.9-4 (Grassroots DICOM library)
Whenever medical data, especially medical image data, is generated in a
clinical environment, that data must be stored such that it can be retrieved by
the same hospital either immediately, or after several years to determine the
effectiveness of a course of treatment and to allow comparisons of multiple
images for the same patient.
Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) is a standard that
governs this capability by specifying handling, storing, printing, and
transmitting information in medical imaging.
Grassroots DICOM (GDCM) is an implementation of the DICOM standard designed to
be open source so that researchers may access clinical data directly. GDCM
includes a file format definition and a network communications protocol, both
of which should be extended to provide a full set of tools for a researcher or
small medical imaging vendor to interface with an existing medical database.
GDCM is an open source implementation of the DICOM standard. It offers some
compatibility with ACR-NEMA 1.0 & 2.0 files (raw files).

gdcm: new version
More things externalized to simplify packaging because the
install_names do not all change in sync. This should solve some

mBed TLS is an SSL library written in ANSI C. PolarSSL makes it easy
for developers to include cryptographic and SSL/TLS capabilities in
their (embedded) products with as little hassle as possible. It is
designed to be readable, documented, tested, loosely coupled and
portable.
It also includes an OpenSSL compatible wrapper header.
Example programs are installed into %p/share/doc/%n/examples
rather than %p/bin to avoid possible conflicts.
mBed TLS used to be called PolarSSL.
