New Debian alpha Packages
These alpha packages were installed into the Debian hierarchy in the
last week:
----- !!! HIGH URGENCY PACKAGES !!! -----
adduser 3.1 into bo/binary-all/base
adduser 3.1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/base
adduser - Add users and groups to the system.
----- Low Urgency Packages --------------
alien 3.2 -> 3.3 into bo/binary-all/admin
alien (3.3) frozen; urgency=low
* Fixed a bug that made alien choke on rpm files that had a version number
or release number of 0. Releasing only to frozen, because there is a
newer version in unstable.
alien 5.0 -> 5.1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/admin
alien (5.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Added partial support for relocatable packages: DEFAULTPREFIX is
examined, and if set, a subdirectory by the same name is created in the
build directory of the package. This means relocatable packages end up
in a sane location, not scattered in the root directory as they were
previously.
* Smarter guessing of patch file name to use, now looks at version number
and revision number if neccessary.
* Added a patch file for applix 4.3 (and one for the applix-english package).

vm-el 6.30-3 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/mail
vm 6.30-2 -> 6.30-3 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/mail
vm (6.30-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Added an el package a la Emacs (the elisp files are nearly 1M!), since
I think it is imperative that the uncompiled elisp files be available
for users, but it is not reasonable to unconditionally chew up 1M of
disk space.
* Also install vm-vars.el into the doc (for the old regular package)
directory, since not all customizable variables are documented
elsewhere.
vm 6.30-3 -> 6.31-1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/mail
vm-el 6.30-3 -> 6.31-1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/mail
vm (6.31-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream bug fixing release. Excerpted changes:
* vm-toolbar-support-possible-p: don't check device type, install
toolbar if the 'toolbar feature is present.
* vm-toolbar-initialize: check for device-on-window-system-p
before looking at device-bitplanes, in case the selected device
is a tty.
* use '(win) tag sets on toolbar specifiers to prevent toolbars
from being attached to non-window system frames.
* vm-multiple-fonts-possible-p: conditionalize checks on
XEmacs/Emacs to avoid looking at the window-system variable
under XEmacs where it should not be used.
* set scrollbar height only if (featurep 'scrollbar) and under
XEmacs. Previously we checked if set-specifier was fbound.
* vm-mime-preview-composition: copy value of enriched-mode to
the temp buffer so that the MIME encoding code knows what to do.
* set perms to 600 on MIME tempfiles before writing to them.
There's still a race window where access can be gained to
such files, but it should be very small assuming NFS is not
involved.
* added new 'display-error' slot to the MIME layout struct to
avoid overloading the cache slot... and fixed a bug thereby, due
to vm-mime-display-external-generic trying to use the contents
of the cache slot when there was an error message there.
* vm-mime-display-internal-message/rfc822: bind buffer-read-only
to nil before trying to insert text into the presentation
buffer.
* vm-burst-digest will now descend into nested MIME layouts to find
digests to burst.
wspanish 1.0-5 -> 1.0-6 into bo/binary-all/text
wspanish 1.0-5 -> 1.0-6 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/text

* Provides wordlist (Closes Bug#9394)
xntp3 5.90-1 -> 5.90-4 into hamm/hamm/binary-i386/net
xntp3-doc 5.90-1 -> 5.90-4 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/net
xntp3 (5.90-4) unstable; urgency=low
* Switch to using start-stop-daemon in the postinst. Fixes bug 9271.
