scm (5d9-4.1) unstable; urgency=high
* Non-maintainer upload.
* High-urgency upload for sarge-targetted RC bugfix.

Closes: #245810.

scm (5d9-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Properly clean up info files.
* Make and install Xlibscm.info.
scm (5d9-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Fix path problem in slibcat. Hack at mklibcat.scm. (Closes: #241510)
scm (5d9-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release
* Merge NMU sparc changes (Closes: #191171, #191356)
* SHORT_INT is defined for ia64 upstream (Closes: #141928)
