upgrade of Debian packages

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Friends,

I have made internal updates (3.9.8-2 --> 3.9.8-3) of Debian packages:
* squeak
* squeak-vm
* squeak-plugin

The changes ensure that if you now install `squeak-plugin', it will work.

Why it did not work: In the original source code, the `squeak plugin' ignores the actual value of
`--prefix=...' option given at configuration time. It looks it in

/usr/local/share/squeak

If it heeded to the --prefix given to the ./configure script, it would tried to look it up in

/usr/share/squeak

The change of the source code is not a proper fix. It is only temporary hack until thins are fixed
in upstream. The `squeak plugin' source code must not ignore parameters passed on to the ./configure
script.

Am I right? Ian?

If it is not fixed in the upstream version, then I would have to apply the same hack as I move to
the newer upstream versions. That move would be smoother if I did not have to do it.

Regards,

A patch against the latest SVN version would be welcome (either trunk
or OLPC branch).

I don't know were these new packages are, but the I'm preparing squeak-vm for the "official" Debian repositories. It's based on svn as previous versions didn't have a DFSG compatible license.
The only reason why I haven't uploaded it to Debian yet is the still-not-fixed "dead keys" problem with non-english keyboards and languages.
