Changes to the Packages Collection in December 1998
===================================================
In December, we had a few notable additions: bladeenc, dt, ethereal,
glade, libperl, netatalk, pgp5, R, rtf2latex, wm-themes, and zope;
whilst notable updates to packages include: afterstep, apache,
fetchmail, glib/gtk, glimpse, most of GNOME, ImageMagick, jdk, kaffe,
qt, samba2, squid, tkman, windowmaker, wine, xpaint and zope.
I must extend my thanks to all the packages dudes for their excellent
work throughout 1998 - without them, you wouldn't have a useful thing
like the packages collection. Also, thanks to David Brownlee for
producing the HTMLed package changes document - as always, it can be
found in
