debian-cd - Scripts used to create Debian CDs.
debian-cd 0.1.4 -> 1.0.0 into bo/binary-all/admin
debian-cd (1.0.0) stable unstable; urgency=low
* What was in vars.sh is now individual files per variable in the
vars/ directory.
* Various edits from the experience of making the Official CDs.
doc-linux-es - Linux documents in Spanish.
doc-linux-es 97.03-2 -> 1997.10-1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/doc
doc-linux-es (1997.10-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Rebuilt from sgml sources
doc-linux - Linux FAQ and mini-HOWTOs.
doc-linux-html - Linux HOWTOs in html format
doc-linux-text - Linux HOWTOs in plain text format
doc-linux-html 97.10-2 -> 97.10-3 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/doc
doc-linux-text 97.10-2 -> 97.10-3 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/doc
doc-linux 97.10-2 -> 97.10-3 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/doc
doc-linux (97.10-3) unstable; urgency=low

Commercial Consultants Danish Emacspeak French Glibc2 HOWTO-INDEX
INDEX ISP-Hookup PCMCIA User-Group VAR XFree86
* mini-HOWTOs that are new or updated since the last release on October 15:
AI-Alife Bridge+Firewall DHCPcd Fax-Server GIS-GRASS
Gravis-Ultra-Sound INDEX ISP-Connectivity Linux+FreeBSD Loadlin+Win95
Offline-Mailing Proxy-ARP-Subnet RPM+Slackware Software-RAID
XFree86-XInside
* Changed debian/rules such that doc-linux-text no longer contains the
tarball /usr/doc/HOWTO/Linux-HOWTOs.tar.gz (fixes bug #14036)
exmh - An X user interface for MH mail.
exmh 2.0zeta-2 -> 2.0zeta-3 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/mail
exmh (2.0zeta-3) unstable; urgency=low
* argh! forgot to change the Maintainer: field in control file
(hey, but it took me only 2 weeks to notice!)
kernel-package - Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
kernel-package 3.41 -> 3.42 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/misc
kernel-package (3.42) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed image postinst not to use the obsolete -d option to
superformat. Removed extra spaces from the exec option, so that it is
more likely to work. Noticed by Joost Kooij <kooij@mpn.cp.philips.com>
as BUG#14022
* Note that the proposed two level versioning scheme fails if standard
kernels use epochs. Further note that one may introduce epochs even in
custom kernels. This fixes BUG#14067.
kernel-package - Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
kernel-package 3.42 -> 3.43 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/misc
kernel-package (3.43) unstable; urgency=low
* Added README.headers to the kernel-source package as well, since the
information _is_ relevant to compiling kernels. Since kernel soiurce
packages have higher visibility than kernel header packages, this may
help avoid some FAQs from being asked.
* Expand on epoch numbers on standard kernel packages. Now the README
file actually encourages epochs (horrors).
less - A file pager program, similar to more(1)
less 332-1 -> 332-2 into hamm/hamm/binary-sparc/text
less (332-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Quote the arguments to lesspipe so that it can handle filenames with
special characters such as '#'. Suggestion from Richard Braakman.
Thanks, Richard! (Bug #11859)
* Recompile with libc6. (Bug #11695)
* Use update-alternatives to register less(1) as /usr/bin/pager at level
77. (Bug #12474)
* Told less(1) to use /usr/bin/editor if the envar EDITOR isn't set.
Changed defines.h.in to not redefine EDIT_PGM and removed checking the
VISUAL envar for the program to use.
* Register bug on less since it should depend on -something- installing
/usr/bin/editor but nothing I've seen does yet.
mysql-manual - MySQL Manual in HTML format
mysql-manual 0.80-3 -> 0.95-1-1 into hamm/non-free/binary-all/devel
mysql-manual (0.95-1-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New maintainer
* New upstream source
xfntil2 - ISO 8859-2 fonts for X servers
xfntil2 1.0.3 -> 2.0.1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/x11
xfntil2 (2.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* Big new collection of fonts from BIZNET Poland, inc., added.
* Font sets 2-4 removed.
* Conflicts with xfntil2-nonfree now.
* Installs into separate font directories now.
* `rules' corrected according to indep/arch policy.
