yaboot (1.3.13a-1) unstable; urgency=high

   * Convert debian/control from ISO_8859-15 to UTF-8.
   * Change the orig.tar.gz to use
   <ftp://debootloaders.alioth.debian.org/pub/debootloaders/yaboot/yaboot_1.3.13a.orig.tar.gz>;
   which is a cleaned up version of
   <http://penguinppc.org/bootloaders/yaboot/yaboot-1.3.13.tar.gz>;
   instead of
   <http://penguinppc.org/bootloaders/yaboot/yaboot-1.3.13-debian.tar.gz>;

   * Recommend powerpc-utils (>= 1.1.3-2) for the new-world nvsetenv.

 -- Daniel Jacobowitz <dan@debian.org>  Tue, 5 Sep 2000 12:53:33 -0400

yaboot (0.6-0.16-1) frozen unstable; urgency=medium

     useful one yet.

     sources at once.

yaboot (0.6-2) frozen unstable; urgency=medium

   * Add a patch to compile yaboot with -Os.
   * Call strip on yaboot; the author believes it won't cause any problems,
     and space on the boot floppies is far too tight.

yaboot (0.6-1) frozen unstable; urgency=medium
