xforms, the library and program for the development of X programs, was a part of Mandriva main, but it is missing from Mageia. This should be brought back since there are programs which use it (libforms) such as the program I developed, but others as well. This is especially true as development and maintainance of this package has revived ( with a new release 1.2.2) after a hibernation. http://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/xforms/xforms-1.2.2.tar.gz
See also http://xforms-toolkit.org for a description of the package.
