New Debian alpha Packages
These alpha packages were installed into the Debian hierarchy in the
last week:
----- Low Urgency Packages --------------
alien - Install Red Hat and Slackware Packages with dpkg.
alien 5.17 -> 5.18 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/admin
alien (5.18) unstable; urgency=low
* Use debhelper to build alien (still uses debstd to convert package).
* Use dpkg-deb if available, instead of using ar. This fixes #12318: alien
can now handle old format deb files.
chris-cust - Christoph's Preferred Customizations
chris-cust 0.2 -> 0.3 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/misc
chris-cust (0.3) unstable; urgency=low

advice

10 fastest mirrors
* #11764 fix. (supposed sec hole)
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 0.2 -> 0.3 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/utils
debhelper (0.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Added support for automatic generation of debian install scripts to
dh_installmenu and dh_installdebfiles and dh_clean.
* Removed some pointless uses of cat.
elk - The Extension Language Kit, an Scheme implementation
elkdoc - The Extension Language Kit documentation.
elk 3.0-1 -> 3.0-2 into hamm/hamm/binary-i386/devel
elkdoc 3.0-1 -> 3.0-2 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/devel

* Renamed changelog.upstream.gz changelog.gz
* Pristine sources
User contributed fonts for figlet
This package contains independently contributed fonts for
the `figlet' program. These fonts do not have consistent
copyrights and so are distributed separately from figlet.
Also provided Chinese-Japanese-Korean fonts for figlet
figfonts-cjk 2.2-1 into hamm/non-free/binary-all/text
figfonts 2.1.1-2 -> 2.2-1 into hamm/non-free/binary-all/text
* New upstream source
* New maintaier
* New Standards version (Bug#9568)
* Added bdf2flf
* Added some stuff from cjk (chinese-japanese-korean)
* Put cjk stuff into a third package called figfonts-cjk
figfonts - User contributed fonts for figlet
figfonts-cjk - Chinese-Japanese-Korean fonts for figlet
figfonts-cjk 2.2-1 -> 2.2-2 into hamm/non-free/binary-all/text
figfonts 2.2-1 -> 2.2-2 into hamm/non-free/binary-all/text
figfonts (2.2-2) unstable; urgency=low
* now the package use compressed fonts
* new maintainer
kernel-package - Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
kernel-package 3.40 -> 3.41 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/misc
kernel-package (3.41) unstable; urgency=low
* Handle obsolete /System.map and /System.old links left around by older
kernel-package packages. All the programs that look at the information
in the map files (including top, ps, and klogd) also will look at
/boot/System.map-<version>, we just need to ensure that that file is
present, and no longer require the symbolic link.
Actually, having the sumbolic link in / is technically detrimental
(apart from cluttering up /); many programs, though looking in /boot,
stll allow /Sytem.map to override. If you use LILO to choose between
multiple kernels, then the /System.map symbolic link only applies to
one such kernel, for all other choices the symbols loaded will be
wrong. Not having the symbolic links at all prevents this.
Therefore, the new image.postinst file shall offer to remove the
symbolic links in /. This should fix BUG#13359
modconf - Device Driver Configuration
modconf 0.2.12 -> 0.2.13 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/base
modconf (0.2.13) unstable; urgency=low
* modconf: mangle module name for calling post-install (#11131, #12156)
* modconf: use tput when available (#11956, partially)
* modconf: create TempFile using the tempfile command (#11836)
* debian/rules: build package in binary-indep rule (#12489)
mysql-manual - MySQL Manual in HTML format
mysql-manual 0.80-2 -> 0.80-3 into hamm/non-free/binary-all/devel
mysql-manual (0.80-3) unstable; urgency=low
* db table does not contain File_priv field (fixes #10976)
pkg-order - A Package dependency checker and install ordering tool
pkg-order 0.13 -> 0.14 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/misc
pkg-order (0.14) unstable; urgency=low
* Added a use var to shut up the warning. This is needed because of an
overzealous MakeMaker adding a line that fails with using strict error
checking. This should fix BUG#13335.
* Remove mention of elf-x11r6 from the Packages file in the test suite.
weblint - a syntax and minimal style checker for HTML
weblint 1.017-1 -> 1.020-1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/web
