scim packages 1.0.1-4 are in testing now, so are the scim-uim 0.1.3-2
package (which fixes the nasty FTBFS bug).  It seems we are in a good
shape.  :-)

I've made 1.0.2-1 package for scim, they are in SVN now.  I've tested it
a bit and it is working fine for me.  If some one is interested in
testing this new 1.0.2 packages, but don't want to build him/herself
(scim takes a lot of time to build indeed), I can provide a apt-getable
repository.  Just ask.  :-)

A reminder to those who check out from SVN:  svn.debian.org was moved to
a new machine at the beginning of this year.  Please use svn.debian.org
as your repository (don't use svn.alioth.debian.org or anything
similar).  Your account and password should be the same, but you
probably need to change the SSH key for the new machine.  See
debian-devel-announce mailing list for details.  If you need to change
the name of your repository (you won't if you keep using
svn.debian.org), the command ``svn relocate'' will help a lot.

I managed to reproduce a segfault with mozilla-firefox for scim 1.0.1 in
some special condition.  I'll investigate it a little more and follow up
the two segfault bug reports.  I know there are some memory-leak fix in
1.0.2, and some other changes to fix hanging-up.  I'll see if it manages
to solve my segfault problem.  And if yes, I'll ask the reporters of
those bugs to try the new package.

The change from 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 are quite large.  Two of our patches are
included (cout-to-cerr, and the gnumeric data loss fix).  I also added
the amd64/gcc-4.0 FTBFS fix.  All changes are documented in
debian/changelog as well as the SVN commit log.
