Hi all,

  Some of you already knows kaffe 1.1.5 has been released[1]. I've been
very busy these days but I've been working on the new upstream package
and I wanted it to be cleaner than it was before.

  Wolfgang Baer helped a lot in this task has you can see in the
changelog[2]. Many thanks to him.

  Talking with Jeroen van Wolffelaar (everybody knows how he is involved
in the Sarge release), it's better to wait kaffe_1.1.4.RC1 (bad release
name, my fault!) to be in Sarge before uploading a new kaffe. Also, it'd
be good to run the tests when kaffe is building so if kaffe builds but
the tests fail, we can be warned that a particular arch is not fit and
well!

  So, I've just uploaded the new 1.1.5 release in experimental right now
and I'll upload it to unstable as soon as 1.1.4.RC1 will be in Sarge.

  Thanks for your time and support in Free Jaja (it's not a typo, it's
trademark free! ;-))

  Arnaud.
