Debian PPC packages for mminstance 1.13 and t1utils 1.18 available

["C.M. Connelly" <c@eskimo.com>]

I've created unofficial Debian packages for Eddie Kohler's
mminstance 1.13 and t1utils 1.18 distributions.  They're available
as source and in Debian packages for PowerPC systems on my Web
site, at <http://www.eskimo.com/~c/debian/>.

Some additional information about these packages (from apt-cache
show):

   Package: mminstance
   Priority: optional
   Section: text
   Installed-Size: 480
   Maintainer: C.M. Connelly <c@eskimo.com>
   Version: 1.13-1
   Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libstdc++2.10
   Description: Multiple master font utilities to create AFM or PFB files.
    Mmafm creates an AFM file (font metrics) corresponding to an instance
    of a multiple-master font. It reads the AMFM and AFM files distributed
    with the font.
    .
    Mmpfb creates a normal, single-master font program which looks like an
    instance of a multiple-master font. It reads the multiple master font
    program in PFA or PFB format.
    .
    These tools let you use multiple masters with programs that require
    single-master fonts (afm2tfm, ps2pk, fontinst, etc.). Both programs
    work fine with fonts which contain intermediate masters (Adobe Jenson
    and Kepler); see `Intermediate Masters' below.


   Package: t1utils-ek
   Priority: optional
   Section: text
   Installed-Size: 276
   Maintainer: C.M. Connelly <c@eskimo.com>
   Version: 1.18-1
   Replaces: t1utils
   Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2)
   Conflicts: t1utils
   Description: A collection of simple Type 1 font manipulation programs.
    t1utils is a collection of simple type-1 font manipulation programs.
    Together, they allow you to convert between PFA (ASCII) and PFB
    (binary) formats; disassemble PFA or PFB files into human-readable
    form; and reassemble the human-readable files into PFA or PFB format
    files.  You can also  extract font resources from a Macintosh font
    file (ATM/Laserwriter), or create a Macintosh Type 1 font file from a
    PFA or PFB font.
    .
    There are currently six programs:
    .
     t1ascii   Converts PFB files to PFA format.
    .
     t1binary  Converts PFA files to PFB format.
    .
     t1disasm  Disassembles a Type 1 font (PFA or PFB format) into a raw,
	       human-readable text form for subsequent hand editing,
	       tweaking, hint fixing, etcetera...
    .
     t1asm     Assembles a Type 1 font into PFA or PFB format from
	       the human-readable form produced by t1disasm.
    .
     t1unmac   Extracts POST resources from a Macintosh Type 1 font file
	       (ATM/Laserwriter) into PFA or PFB format for use outside
	       the Macintosh environment.  The Macintosh file should be
	       stored in MacBinary, AppleSingle, AppleDouble, or BinHex
	       format, or as a raw resource fork.  Note that t1unmac does
	       not have to run on a Macintosh, but makes Macintosh Type 1
	       fonts available for use on Unix machines and PCs.
    .
     t1mac     Creates a Macintosh Type 1 file from a PFA- or PFB-format
	       Type 1 font. Writes the Macintosh file in MacBinary,
	       AppleSingle, AppleDouble, or BinHex format, or as a raw
	       resource fork.  WARNING: This tool will not suffice to
	       allow you to use the new font on a Macintosh, as
	       Macintoshes cannot read raw Type 1 fonts.  You will need
	       to create a font suitcase containing bitmap fonts.  If you
	       do not already have such a suitcase for the font, T1utils
	       will not help you create one.
    .
    This version of the t1utils programs has been maintained by Eddie
    Kohler <eddietwo@lcs.mit.edu> since version 1.5, based on the
    original code by I. Lee Hetherington.  As such, it is a complete
    replacement for the t1utils Debian package, which is based on version
    1.2 of I. Lee Hetherington's code.

These are my first packages, so please feel free to offer any
advice or pointers if I messed up.  Note that t1utils-ek *will*
uninstall t1utils; unless you have applications that depend on the
old versions, that's a good thing.
