spurious dependancies
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 1.1.24 -> 1.2.0 into dists/potato/main/binary-all/devel
debhelper (1.2.0) unstable; urgency=low
* A new unstable dist means I'm back to converting more of debhelper to
perl.. Since 1.1 has actually stabalized, I've upped this to 1.2.
* dh_md5sums: rewritten in perl, for large speed gain under some
circumstances (old version called perl sometimes, once per package.)
* dh_installmenu, dh_installwmacsen, dh_installwm: perlized.
* Dh_Lib.pm: made autoscript() really work.
debhelper - helper programs for debian/rules
debhelper 1.2.0 -> 1.2.1 into dists/potato/main/binary-all/devel
debhelper (1.2.1) unstable; urgency=low

debian-keyring (1998.11.14) unstable; urgency=low

debian-test 0.0.1 -> 0.0.2 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/devel
debian-test 0.0.1 -> 0.0.2 into dists/potato/main/binary-all/devel
debian-test (0.0.2) unstable frozen; urgency=low
* put README in the right place (closes: 28980)
* fix single package execution bug
dpkg-cross - Tools for cross compiling Debian packages
dpkg-cross 1.2 -> 1.3 into dists/potato/main/binary-all/utils
dpkg-cross (1.3) unstable; urgency=low
* Some changes to make dpkg-cross work for Hurd: There, cross compiling
is usually done with a Hurd installation on the same disk (in another
partition).
* New config variable set -$(ARCH)= sets path of cross
installation for a specific architecture.
* In dpkg-shlibdeps, strip $crossroot (if set) from lib names, and
look in the cross installation under $crossroot for files
(shlibs.default, *.shlibs files, etc.)
* In dpkg-buildpackage, set binutils env vars (LD, AR, ...) only if
target CPU is different.
Thanks to Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es> for ideas and help in
testing this.
* Added Suggests: binutils-multiarch, since those are available as a
Debian package now and are needed for many applications of dpkg-cross.
* Add CXX to list of environment variables to change.
* In the Makefile added dependencies of all scripts on confinit and
confsub.
kernel-package - Debian Linux kernel package build scripts.
kernel-package 5.12 -> 5.13 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/misc
kernel-package 5.12 -> 5.13 into dists/potato/main/binary-all/misc
kernel-package (5.13) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* Fixed setting email address for modules. closes: BUG#29217
* Made it possible to set the subarch to be different from the one one
is on (as long as the subarch being set is a valid sub arch of the
current architecture). This should help the ppc folks.
* Added to the module compilation documentation by incorporating part of
the pcmcia-source documentation. This should hopefully make compiling
stand-alone modules easier to compile
makedev - Creates special device files in /dev.
makedev 2.3.1-8 -> 2.3.1-10 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/base
makedev 2.3.1-8 -> 2.3.1-10 into dists/potato/main/binary-all/base
makedev (2.3.1-10) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* instead of having the postinst explicitly link /dev/console, have it
call MAKEDEV if console doesn't exist. Update MAKEDEV to know how to
link it for 2.0 kernels and prior, and create the explicit device for
2.1 and later running kernels. Building this based on running kernel
revision doesn't feel clean, but I see no better way.
mime-support - MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap', and support programs
mime-support 3.3-1 -> 3.4-1 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/net
mime-support 3.3-1 -> 3.4-1 into dists/potato/main/binary-all/net
mime-support (3.4-1) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* automatically fix mailcap lines to put '' around %s (#28604)
* temporarily disabled "install-mime is obsolete" warning
mirror - Perl program for keeping ftp archives up-to-date.
mirror 2.9-1 -> 2.9-2 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/net
mirror 2.9-1 -> 2.9-2 into dists/potato/main/binary-all/net
mirror (2.9-2) frozen unstable; urgency=low, Closes=28738
* debian-mirrors: Updated to look for README.mirrors.txt (fixes #28738)
* debian-mirrors: Update regular expression for changed fping output
* debian-mirrors.1: Updated to refer to README.mirrors.txt
* debian/rules: Updated to copy built-time current README.mirrors.txt
* (Re-)Installed files by Ian Maclaine-cross <ian@ilm.mech.unsw.edu.au>
to make use of gzip'ed patch files to a site's ls-lR.gz file. This
feature can considerably reduce the size of downloads if you are
mirroring a relatively static archive as Debian 'stable' or CTAN.
Complete documentation and examples are provided for both Debian and
CTAN ftp sites (see /usr/doc/mirror/examples/README.ls-lR.gz). Also
provided is the script mkls-lR for archive maintainers who would like
to provide patches to ls-lR files (see the manual page mkls-lR(8)).
musixlyr - a MusiXTeX extension for handling lyrics
musixlyr 1.10-1 -> 1.10-2 into dists/slink/contrib/binary-all/tex
musixlyr 1.10-1 -> 1.10-2 into dists/potato/contrib/binary-all/tex
musixlyr (1.10-2) frozen unstable; urgency=low
* [debian/control]:
- Upgraded to standards version 2.5.0.0 (no changes).
- Updated dependencies on tetex* to the latest versions:
Depends: tetex-bin (>= 0.9.981031-2)
Recommends: tetex-base (>= 0.9.981030-1)
due to changes in tetex's directory structure.
* [debian/rules]: In the latest tetex-base package, /usr/lib/texmf/doc
is now a symlink to /usr/doc/texmf. Therefore, we now install
musixlyr's documentation into /usr/doc/texmf/musixtex/musixlyr.
Thanks to Julian Gilbey <jdg@maths.qmw.ac.uk> for the bug report.
(closes: Bug#29327)
* [debian/postinst]:
- I copied a few lines from tetex-nonfree's postinst to remove the
old directory /usr/lib/texmf/doc if musixlyr is the last package
using that directory, and create a symlink to /usr/doc/texmf. :-)
- Added TEXMF='!!$TEXMFMAIN' before mktexupd to ensure that
mktexupd in tetex-bin_0.9.981031-2 works properly.
octave-ci - Contributed functions for the GNU Octave language
octave-ci 98.02-1 -> 98.02-2 into dists/slink/main/binary-all/math

* debian/control: Now Suggests: octave (>= 2.0.13.92) to reflect the
move of various functions into the main Octave package
* No longer install the directories finance/, linear-algebra/, signal/
and statistics/{base,distributions,models,tests} directories as these
are now distributed by Octave itself.
