Please work on:

 - linpopup_0.9.5-1 (or newer)
    This is an 'harddisk-eater' and needs an -fsigned-char in
    the Makefile.
 - libgnomeui.so
    Must be rebuild, because of an popen@@GLIBC_2.0 define
 - libpcreposix.so  
    Must be rebuild, because of an popen@@GLIBC_2.0 define

I hope Sven will work with Branden on xfree-3.3.3.1 and Dan
will work on mozilla. 


A note for 'rebuilds':
Packages can be compiled and uploaded (without any changes)
also when there isn't a new version available. To do this you
add in debian/changelog an new entry and increment the
'debian' version like:


foo_1.2-3    into   foo_1.2-3.1
                             ^^

and build the packages normaly with dpkg-buildpackage -B -rsudo

Thanks,


     Hartmut
