Steve Dunham (sparc) and Loic Prylli (alpha). As far as I know this should
be documented somewhere, at least in the MD5SUMS files...

Not quite. In the past (at least the hamm release) there were
announcements made to debian-(devel)-announce for each point release which
also (IIRC) included the changelog. That didn't happen this time, which is
why several of us missed the update.

Check ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/slink for the changelog file. The _only_
change from 2.1r0 (initial slink release) to 2.1r2 (current) was a
security update to super. There was no 2.1r1 release, as Guy Maor informed
us, to reduce possible confusion.
2.1r3 is currently being worked on, and will include the necessary changes
to allow slink to work fully with the 2.2 kernels. This will also
necessitate new CD images. Watch this space. And hopefully this time we
might manage to announce things better.
