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.

+If the SLIB distribution is a ZIP file, unzip the distribution to create

+in a location where libraries reside on your system. On unix systems
+this might be `<TT>/usr/share/slib</TT>', `<TT>/usr/local/lib/slib</TT>', or
+`<TT>/usr/lib/slib</TT>'. If you know where SLIB should go on other
+platforms, please inform agj @ alum.mit.edu.

+<!--docid::SEC282::-->
+<P>
+
+When SLIB is first used from an implementation, a file named
+`<TT>slibcat</TT>' is written to the <CODE>implementation-vicinity</CODE> for that
+implementation. Because users may lack permission to write in
+<CODE>implementation-vicinity</CODE>, it is good practice to build the new

+SLIB), then:

+<!--docid::SEC285::-->
+<P>
+
+All library packages are written in IEEE P1178 Scheme and assume that a
+configuration file and `<TT>require.scm</TT>' package have already been
+loaded. Other versions of Scheme can be supported in library packages
+as well by using, for example, <CODE>(provided? 'r3rs)</CODE> or
+<CODE>(require 'r3rs)</CODE> (see section <A HREF="slib_1.html#SEC3">1.2 Require</A>).
+<A NAME="IDX1649"></A>
+</P>
+<P>
+
+If a procedure defined in a module is called by other procedures in
+that module, then those procedures should instead call an alias
+defined in that module:
+</P>
+<P>
+
+<TABLE><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td class=example><pre>(define module-name:foo foo)
+</pre></td></tr></table><P>
+
+The module name and `<SAMP>:</SAMP>' should prefix that symbol for the
+internal name. Do not export internal aliases.
+</P>
+<P>
+
+A procedure is exported from a module by putting Schmooz-style
+comments (see section <A HREF="slib_4.html#SEC87">4.14 Schmooz</A>) or `<SAMP>;@</SAMP>' at the beginning of the line
+immediately preceding the definition (<CODE>define</CODE>,
+<CODE>define-syntax</CODE>, or <CODE>defmacro</CODE>). Modules, exports and other
+relevant issues are discussed in <A HREF="slib_1.html#SEC7">1.6 Compiling Scheme</A>.
+</P>
+<P>
+
+Code submitted for inclusion in SLIB should not duplicate (more than
+one) routines already in SLIB files. Use <CODE>require</CODE> to force
+those library routines to be used by your package.
+</P>
+<P>
+
+Documentation should be provided in Emacs Texinfo format if possible,
+but documentation must be provided.
+</P>
+<P>
+
+Your package will be released sooner with SLIB if you send me a file
+which tests your code. Please run this test <EM>before</EM> you send me
+the code!

+<!--docid::SEC286::-->
+<P>
+
+Please document your changes. A line or two for `<TT>ChangeLog</TT>' is
+sufficient for simple fixes or extensions. Look at the format of
+`<TT>ChangeLog</TT>' to see what information is desired. Please send me
+<CODE>diff</CODE> files from the latest SLIB distribution (remember to send
+<CODE>diff</CODE>s of `<TT>slib.texi</TT>' and `<TT>ChangeLog</TT>'). This makes for
+less email traffic and makes it easier for me to integrate when more

+</P>
+<P>
+
+If someone else wrote a package you want to significantly modify, please
+try to contact the author, who may be working on a new version. This
+will insure against wasting effort on obsolete versions.
+</P>
+<P>
+
+Please <EM>do not</EM> reformat the source code with your favorite
+beautifier, make 10 fixes, and send me the resulting source code. I do
