New Debian alpha Packages
These alpha packages were installed into the Debian hierarchy in the
last week:
----- MEDIUM Urgency Packages -----------
perl - Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report Language.
perl-base - The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish Lister
perl-debug - Allow debugging perl scripts (and perl).
perl-suid - Runs setuid perl scripts.

perl 5.004.02-1 -> 5.004.04-2 into hamm/hamm/binary-alpha/interpreters
perl (5.004.04-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Wonderful idea from Scott Ellis <storm@stormcrow.ml.org>, set archlib
to be the major version so that maintenance versions don't break all
the arch-dependent perl-debian packages.
* Strip a2p, fixing Bug #14891.
* Files copied by make.base should keep hard-links.
----- Low Urgency Packages --------------
addressbook - A addressbook with both X11 and tty access
addressbook 0.6.1-2 -> 0.7-1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/editors
addressbook (0.7-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release
- /usr/bin/{email,fax,letter,tel} had been renamed to
/usr/bin/addr-{email,fax,letter,tel}. Therefore, /usr/bin/fax
is no longer renamed to /usr/bin/faxnr (Fixes bug #10294).
* Rewrote debian/rules and used debhelper (Fixes bug #13571).
* Added a menu entry (dwww) for /usr/doc/addressbook/index.html.
* Revised debian/control:
- Section: misc; Priority: optional
- Updated Standards-Version to 2.3.0.1.
- Now depends on the virtual package "wish" instead of "tk41" or "tk42".
* Non-maintainer release. The package is now orphaned and will be
maintained by Debian QA Group <debian-qa@lists.debian.org>.
autoconf - automatic configure script builder.
autoconf 2.12-3 -> 2.12-4 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/devel

autoconf (2.12-5) unstable; urgency=low
* remove PACKAGE, VERSION from acconfig.h.
* make /usr/lib/autoconf/acconfig.h a conffile.
bug - Bug Reporting Tool interfacing with the Bug Tracking System
bug 3.0.0 -> 3.0.1 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/utils
bug (3.0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* No longer quits if no packagename specified, fixes bug #15678.
* Require parameter when using `-f'.
cvs-buildpackage - Debian package build script for CVS source trees.
cvs-buildpackage 1.04 -> 1.5 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/devel
cvs-buildpackage (1.5) unstable; urgency=low
* Make sure that the copyright file is not compressed. closes:Bug#14382
* Added documentation about cvs TAG conventions, and the fact that we
ignore the epoch number in determining cvs tags (this is not a problem
since cvs does not have to order the debian versions)
* Preserve file modification information from the pristine sources.
* *Not included* cvs-inject and cvs-upgrade, as they are not in a
releasable state.
cweb-latex - LaTeX support for CWEB
cweb-latex 1.1.1-4 -> 1.1.1-5 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/devel
cweb-latex (1.1.1-5) unstable; urgency=low

debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 0.28 -> 0.29 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/utils
debhelper (0.29) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_lib: don't expand text passed to doit() a second time. This fixes
#15624, and hopefully doesn't break anything else.
* A side effect of this (of interest only to the debhelper programmer) is
that doit() can no longer handle complex commands now. (ie, pipes, `;',
`&', etc separating multiple commands, or redirection)
* dh_makeshlibs, dh_md5sums, dh_installdebfiles, dh_du, dh_clean,
dh_installdirs: don't pass complex commands to doit().
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 0.29 -> 0.30 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/utils
debhelper (0.30) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_md5sumes, dh_installdirs, dh_compress: fixed assorted cd bugs.

kernel-package (3.46) unstable; urgency=low
* Because of new option rootcmd (for sudo and fakeroot and such), one
can't just use -r as a shortcut for -revision (since it is now
ambiguous). Fixed README to reflect this. closes:Bug#15016
* Added documentation of rootcmd to the help message (make-kpkg
-h). This, along with the above, closes:Bug#15078

Took the new musixlyr.tex (1.02a, new unofficial patch from Sebastian)
from the M-Tx 0.30a upstream source and put it into this new Debian
musixlyr-1.02a package.

Rainer Dunker, not the Free Software Foundation. (Oops! :)
