Hi,
These patches are fixes made to the rumor package (not yet uploaded to Debian).

I've patched the texinfo document at the request of Rosea Grammostola so that
the generated info document installs correctly, eliminating this error when
installing the package:

No `START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY' and no `This file documents'.
install-info(/usr/share/info/rumor.info.gz): unable to determine description for
`dir' entry - giving up
dpkg: error processing rumor (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
 Errors were encountered while processing:
  rumor

This change depends on patches 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 09, 11 and the following
change.


I dropped the postinst/prerm scripts since according to lintian:
Tag: install-info-used-in-maintainer-script
Severity: normal
Certainty: possible
Info: This script apparently runs <tt>install-info</tt>.  Updating the
 <tt>/usr/share/info/dir</tt> file is now handled automatically by
 triggers, so running <tt>install-info</tt> from maintainer scripts is no
 longer necessary.
 .
 If debhelper generated the maintainer script fragment, rebuilding the
 package with debhelper 7.2.17 or later will fix this problem.

This change depends on the patch 07.


I also changed the version from 1.0.3b1-1 to 1.0.3~beta1-1. This will permit
users to upgrade to version 1.0.3 when it is released since dpkg interprets
version number 1.0.3~beta1-1 as smaller that 1.0.3-1 and interprets version
number 1.0.3b1-1 as greater than 1.0.3-1.

This change depends on the patch 10.


The rest of the changes are pretty minor and probably self-explanatory. (Patches
01, 08, 12, 13, 14). If you have any questions regarding my changes, please
don't hesitate to ask. Also, please CC me in all discussions regarding these
patches since I am not subscribed to the debian-multimedia mailing list.

Cheers,
Ryan "ryanakca" Kavanagh
