Import Debian changes 3a1-4.2debian/3a1-4.2
slib (3a1-4.2) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * Add guile.init.local for use within the build dir, since otherwise we have an (earlier unnoticed) circular build-dep due to a difference between scm and guile. slib (3a1-4.1) unstable; urgency=low * Non-maintainer upload. * Build-depend on guile-1.6 instead of scm, since the new version of scm is wedged in unstable (closes: #281809). slib (3a1-4) unstable; urgency=low * Also check for expected creation on slibcat. (Closes: #240096) slib (3a1-3) unstable; urgency=low * Also check for /usr/share/guile/1.6/slib before installing for guile 1.6. (Closes: #239267) slib (3a1-2) unstable; urgency=low * Add format.scm back into slib until gnucash stops using it. * Call guile-1.6 new-catalog (Closes: #238231) slib (3a1-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release * Remove Info section from doc-base file (Closes: #186950) * Remove period from end of description (linda, lintian) * html gen fixed upstream (Closes: #111778) slib (2d4-2) unstable; urgency=low * Fix url for upstream source (Closes: #144981) * Fix typo in slib.texi (enquque->enqueue) (Closes: #147475) * Add build depends. slib (2d4-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream. slib (2d3-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream. * Remove texi2html call in debian/rules. Now done upstream. Add make html instead. * Changes to rules and doc-base to conform to upstream html gen * Clean up upstream makefile to make sure it cleans up after itself.

+
+In VRML97, lights shine only on objects within the same children node

+to let light direction be rotated by <CODE>solid:rotation</CODE>, this
+restricts a rotated light's visibility to objects rotated with it.
+</P>
+<P>
+
+To workaround this limitation, these directional light source
+procedures accept either Cartesian or spherical coordinates for
+direction. A spherical coordinate is a list <CODE>(<VAR>theta</VAR>
+<VAR>azimuth</VAR>)</CODE>; where <VAR>theta</VAR> is the angle in degrees from the
+zenith, and <VAR>azimuth</VAR> is the angle in degrees due west of south.

+<H2> 5.14 How to Create a Commutative Ring </H2>
+<!--docid::SEC138::-->
+<P>
+
+The first step in creating your commutative ring is to write procedures
+to create elements of the ring. A non-numeric element of the ring must
+be represented as a list whose first element is a symbol or string.
+This first element identifies the type of the object. A convenient and
+clear convention is to make the type-identifying element be the same
+symbol whose top-level value is the procedure to create it.
