scm (5e5-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release. * continue.h: Repeat change from 5e1-2. * xgen.scm: Repeat change from 5e2-4. * scm.1: Repeat change from 5e2-4. * build.scm: Repeat change from 5e3-5. * Makefile: Repeat change from 5e3-2. * debian/control (Build-Depends): Require at least version 3b1 of slib. (scm Depends): Likewise. (libscm-dev Depends): Likewise. * Makefile (scm.info): Add explicit dependency on features.txi and platform.txi. For some reason the one through $(texifiles) is failing mysteriously. Perhaps this is a make bug.
