New Debian sparc Packages
These sparc packages were installed into the Debian hierarchy in the
last week:
----- MEDIUM Urgency Packages -----------
base-files - Debian Base System Miscellaneous Files
base-files 1.3.5 -> 1.4 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/base
base-files (1.4) unstable; urgency=medium
* Uncompressed copyright files.
* debian/rules: package does no longer need to be built by root.
Changed `prototype' directory by an install -d `cat directories`,
and then set special permissions and ownerships directly.
* Added "Depends: awk", so that awk is a "virtual essential package".
* Updated GPL and LGPL. FSF's address changed some time ago to:
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA.
* /bin/edit is now #!/bin/sh.
* /etc/debian_version, /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net now read
"2.0 (unstable)" instead of "1.3".
* /etc/issue now reads "GNU/Linux" (not "GNU Linux").
* Updated copyright year for /etc/motd.
* Added an extended description.
* Removed debstd dependency.
* New maintainer.
base-files - Debian Base System Miscellaneous Files
base-files 1.4 -> 1.5 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/base

base-files 1.5 -> 1.6 into hamm/hamm/binary-all/base
base-files (1.6) unstable; urgency=low
* Default prompt for root is now PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ ', which may not
please everybody and/or generate a flame war, but at least is better
than nothing (previosuly it was PS1='\h\$ ').
* Added two blank lines to /etc/motd to keep Copyright notice from being
overwritten by /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh.
* Removed compatibility symlinks /usr/spool, /usr/tmp, /usr/adm
and /var/adm. Now is when we have to see if something breaks.
* Removed /usr/lib/locale. Added /usr/share and /usr/include.
* Removed the /bin/edit script.
