Wed Aug 18 14:00:00 2010 puzelAATTnovell.com
- update to alien 8.81
* Avoid uninitialized value warning when debian/rules fails to run
due to alien being run in a noexec directory.
* Prevent DESTROY stomping on alien\'s exit code sometimes.
* Support extracting lzma compressed RPMs.
* Suggest lzma. If not installed, alien will still fail to decompress
RPMs using it, but will support most rpms, which are not.
* Fix precedence problem that prevented alien from preserving permissions
of suid/sgid binaries that are not owned by root.
* Support RPMs containing ghost files.

- update to alien 8.77
* Don\'t allow whitespace in package version when parsing debian/changelog.
* In rpm permission fixup code, avoid processing symlinks since that
would result in the file the link points to being \"fixed\".
Tue Jun 9 14:00:00 2009 puzelAATTsuse.cz
- update to 8.76
* Avoid using hostname -f for portability to unix systems,
such as Solaris, where any options _set_ the hostname.
* Fix bash shebang and recognise bash scripts as editable
shell scripts when converting to deb.
Thu May 7 14:00:00 2009 puzelAATTsuse.cz
- update to 8.75
* Simplified rules file.
* Modify maintainer scripts from rpm files to use /bin/bash rather
than /bin/sh. Many such scripts are only tested on systems where /bin/sh
is bash, and contain bashisms, which can cause trouble when converting
the rpm to be used on eg, the Debian family of distributions, where
/bin/sh can legitimatly be dash.

- update to 8.74
* support bzipped and uncompressed tar files, using tar\'s auto-compression detection
* pod fixes
