nws (2.0b7-1) experimental; urgency=low

   * Initial Release. This a first try of what a nws debian package could be.
   * I've changed the location of some files :
      - user guide -> /usr/share/doc/nws-base
      - example, ie files in the EXAMPLES list in Interface/Makefile.in :
         sources  -> /usr/share/doc/libnws-dev
         binaries -> /usr/bin
   * I've put everything in place to remove all the example of name not
     begining with 'nws', because they seems not so good tested (for
     example, the usage string of start_activity is false : it shows a
     -i option). But I commented this all, because I need the programm
     start_activity for my script nws_localadmin...
   * I've changed the name of binaries, so that all name begins with 'nws'
     FIXME: it breaks the documentation !!
   * Added some scripts to the upload source :
      - /etc/nws.conf : the conffile
      - /usr/bin/nws_localadmin : a perl script which can parse the conffile
        and stop, start, restart, and so one all the parts of nws.
      - /etc/logrotate.d/nws-base : the conffile of nws to rotate logs
      - /etc/cron.d/nws-base : a cron fragment to revive everything twice a day
