Changelog

 slib (3b6-2) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Pre-built slibcat catalog files for MIT Scheme, Chez, and Gambit are now
     installed under /var/lib/slib and (implementation-vicinity) is updated
     to point to this directory in the corresponding .init files. This avoids
     the need to run (require 'new-catalog) as root. (Closes: #641370)
   * (library-vicinity) now falls back to the Debian installation directory
     /usr/share/slib instead of upstream's hard-coded /usr/local/lib/slib.
     (Closes: #970310)
   * debian/patches
     - Fix warning when loading guile.init with guile-3.0.
     - Make sure PACKAGE_TARNAME in configure script does not depend on
       current working directory. Otherwise the build is not reproducible.
     - Do not set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable when starting
       Gambit through the slib wrapper script.
   * debian/tests: add autopkg tests for scm, mit-scheme, guile-2.2,
     guile-3.0, gambit, and chezscheme.
   * debian/postinst: remove obsolete commands to generate catalog for
     guile-1.6.
   * debian/watch: use https URL.
