grep (2.0-12) unstable; urgency=low
  * Rename upstream change to changelog
  * Added md5sums to .deb file


kernel-package - Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
kernel-package 3.35 -> 3.36 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/misc
kernel-package (3.36) unstable; urgency=low
  * All kernel packages produced now list the version of kernel-package
    used in the file /usr/doc/Buildinfo. This is a bit of a Hack.
  * The image prerm will allow you to remove an running kernel image and
    hose your system. You will be warned. (under protest).
  * Added a variable to choose a no symlink option, which puts the real
    images in /vmlinuz and /vmlinuz.old, not symlinks (similarily for
    System.map). This makes it potentially less useful, since unless other
    action is taken one would have only two images on the machine at the
    time. This has been added for people who use file systems that do not
    implement symlinks.
  * Added a variable to ask for reverse symlinks, that is, vmlinuz is the
    real file, vmlinuz-2.0.30 is the link. This also restricts the system
    to two image files unless the user save a copy, added for people with
    boot on umsdos (can't see symlinks in dos mode) but who want the links
    to see what the image versions are in Linux. Mutualy exclusive with
    the no symlink option. (apart from the symlinks, it is identical to
    the no symlink option). These should fix Bug#11395.
  * Fixed typo in control file for kernel-doc description. This fixes
    Bug#11568.


kernel-package - Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
kernel-package 3.36 -> 3.37 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/misc
kernel-package (3.37) unstable; urgency=low
  * No longer create a System.map symlink in /, since that may confuse
    klogd when choosing kernel images using LILO. Since top, ps, and klogd
    look at /boot/System.map-<version>, we just need to make sure that
    file is present. This makes us friendlier to multiple images of the
    same kernel version.
  * No longer redirect output to a file in /tmp for security reasons (we
    use a log file in /var/log instead). This fixes BUG#11765,
    BUG#11766 and BUG#11847
  * Added support for different flavours of the same kernel version for
    people who need them. This is based on the ideas and work of Bill
    Mitchell <mitchell@mozcom.com> and Noel Maddy <ncm@biostat.hfh.edu>.
    This should make us fully compliant to having multiple flavours of the
    same kernel version.
  * Added dependencies to targets in rules. Now things should work as
    expected if one edits a .config file.
  * Fixed destination for the Buildinfo file. This fixes BUG#11884.


lambdacore - larger core database for lambdamoo
lambdacore 02feb97-3 -> 02feb97-4 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/net
lambdacore (02feb97-4) unstable; urgency=low
  * Fixed security hole in prerm.
  * Routine update of debian/rules:
    Fakeroot and sudo fixes.


manpages-fr - French version of the manual pages.
manpages-fr 0.3-2 -> 0.4-1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/doc
manpages-fr (0.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
  * Upstream upgrade (#11527).
  * Many new translation including pages from section 1.


manpages   - Man pages about using a Linux system.
manpages-dev - Linux-development man pages.
manpages-dev 1.17-1 -> 1.17-2 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/doc
manpages 1.17-1 -> 1.17-2 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/doc
manpages (1.17-2) unstable; urgency=low
  * Minor fix to updwtmp(3).
  * Preserve files' original date.
  * Added dlopen(3)/dlsym(3)/dlclose(3)/dlerror(3) manpage (idea from
    Joost Witteveen).
  * Updated remove(3) from unlink(2).
  * 's/STANDARDS/CONFORMING TO/' in many section 3 manpages.
  * Updated readdir(3) to libc6.
  * Changed `include' in iopl(2), fixes bug #10635.

sed (2.05-14) unstable; urgency=low

sgml-data  - Data files for SGML programs
sgml-data 0.02 -> 0.03 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/text
sgml-data (0.03) unstable; urgency=low
  * Interim release.

  * Removed buggy preinst script.


stow       - Organiser for /usr/local/ hierachy
stow 1.3.2-1 -> 1.3.2-2 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/admin
stow (1.3.2-2) unstable; urgency=low
  * Used texi2html to generate HTML documentation.
  * Added dwww-index; call dwww-build --default in postinst/postrm.


stow       - Organiser for /usr/local/ hierachy
stow 1.3.2-2 -> 1.3.2-3 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/admin
stow (1.3.2-3) unstable; urgency=low
  * Fixed bug no. 11622: call to dwww-build in post{inst,rm} was wrong;
    stow would not install if dwww wasn't installed.
  * Remove calls to dwww-build.  Seemed to be causing problems on my
    system (quite apart from the previous foul-up).
  * Add dwww support via menu file.


suidmanager - Manage File Permissions
suidmanager 0.6 -> 0.7 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/admin
suidmanager (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
  * Solaris Compatibility: Use #!/bin/bash for scripts.

textutils 1.22-1 -> 1.22-2 into hamm/hamm/binary-sparc/base

  *


vm         - A mail user agent for Emacs
vm-el      - A mail user agent for Emacs (uncompiled elsip source files)
vm-el 6.32-1 -> 6.33-1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/mail
vm 6.32-1 -> 6.33-1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/mail
vm (6.33-1) unstable; urgency=low
  * Chaned post installation script not to redirect input to a scratch
    file in /tmp (we use /tmp/emacs/file.new.$$ instead. This fixes
    BUG#11787.
  * New upstream bug fixing release. Excerpted changes:
    * vm-undisplay-buffer: don't delete frames unless both
      vm-mutable-windows and pop-up-frames are not non-nil.  Loop
      over the remaining windows that display the target buffer and
      make those windows display some other buffer.
    * vm-mime-set-extent-glyph-for-type: use a list of instantiators,
      use 'xpm instead of 'autodetect and fallback to [nothing] if
      instantiation fails.
    * vm-display-face: use the [nothing] instantiator on ttys.  XEmcas
      only.
    * vm-toolbar-install-toolbar: change toolbar size specifier on
      frame even if VM did not create the frame.  This reverses the
      change made in 6.32.
    * vm-isearch: call vm-energize-urls to light up the URLs after a
      search completes.
    * vm-set-window-configuration: return the window configuration we
      set.  A change in 6.32 caused this not to be done.  This confused
      vm-display which relied on the return value to determine whether
      vm-display-buffer needed to be called.
    * don't recognize <URL:...> as an URL if it contains a newline.
    * vm-scroll-backwrd: make argument optional.
