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.

+@code{(require 'topological-sort)} or @code{(require 'tsort)}
+@ftindex topological-sort
+@ftindex tsort
+
+@noindent
+The algorithm is inspired by Cormen, Leiserson and Rivest (1990)
+@cite{Introduction to Algorithms}, chapter 23.
+
+
+@defun tsort dag pred
+
+@defunx topological-sort dag pred
+where
+@table @var
+@item dag
+is a list of sublists. The car of each sublist is a vertex. The cdr is
+the adjacency list of that vertex, i.e. a list of all vertices to which
+there exists an edge from the car vertex.
+@item pred
+is one of @code{eq?}, @code{eqv?}, @code{equal?}, @code{=},
+@code{char=?}, @code{char-ci=?}, @code{string=?}, or @code{string-ci=?}.
+@end table
+
+Sort the directed acyclic graph @var{dag} so that for every edge from
+vertex @var{u} to @var{v}, @var{u} will come before @var{v} in the
+resulting list of vertices.
+
+Time complexity: O (|V| + |E|)
+
+Example (from Cormen):
+@quotation
+Prof. Bumstead topologically sorts his clothing when getting
+dressed. The first argument to @code{tsort} describes which
+garments he needs to put on before others. (For example,
+Prof Bumstead needs to put on his shirt before he puts on his
+tie or his belt.) @code{tsort} gives the correct order of dressing:
+@end quotation
+
+@example
+(require 'tsort)
+@ftindex tsort
+(tsort '((shirt tie belt)
+ (tie jacket)
+ (belt jacket)
+ (watch)
+ (pants shoes belt)
+ (undershorts pants shoes)
+ (socks shoes))
