Hi folks,

        Late last year, I had dome into this forum to announce a new
 packaging of fvwm 2.5.8 for Debian. At that point, the objection was
 expressed that the packaging was ancient, and that the diffs from the
 official sources shipped were huge. Keeping those in mind, I went
 back and re-did the packaging, and I have uploaded the package to the
 experimental distribution of Debian. I have tried to address the
 issues raised on this list for my last set5 of packages.

        The diffs this time are 8593 lines, coming to 506545
 bytes. The diffs are likely to be larger the next time, since I have
 found that updating config.{sub,guess}, and re-running
 auto{make,header,conf} with the latest versins of these tools makes
 for a large diff.

        I have made the source repository of the debian package
 available via arch.debian.org (details on access are at
 http://arch.debian.org/arch/private/srivasta/ )

        Here is a brief summary of the changes made during packaging.

        I am hoping that the debianistas on this list can take the
 package for a spin; it is scheduled to head into Debian
 proper at the end of the week.

        Here are trhe apt/sources.list lines where the package is
 available.
