away for a week/bochs

I am going away for a 9-day vacation early morning tommorrow. I just released a package of new upstream version of exmh, and svgatextmode 1.8-3 which has some minor fixes. If anything serious comes up, feel free to make a NMU. The chances of me having net access at that time are slim to

1997-12-25 Thread Karl M. Hegbloom
