Package: dailystrips
Version: 1.0.28-6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Hi!

As it seems like dailystrips has gotten an active maintainer
again (thanks for reviving the package!), I'm submitting a
patch for resurrecting a whole heap of unaccessible comic
and political strips. When doing the patch I also cleaned up
the strips.def somewhat and added a few missing strips.

 * Created new classes to make some strips accessible again
 * Removed unused classes
 * New comic strips: Cafe con Leche, Chuckle Bros, Dog Eat
   Doug, Flight Deck, Meaning of Lila, On a Claire Day, The
   Other Coast, State of the Union, Thin Lines, Winnie the
   Pooh, Working it Out, Zack Hill, The Dogs of C Kennel
 * New political strips: Steve Benson, Steve Kelley,
   Mossprints, Steve Sack, Julia Suits
 * Added groups to ease downloading all strips updated by
   this patch.

Should there be any license issue, as people tend to worry
about the origin of patches these days, this patch is of
course GPL'd as is the Debian dailystrips package.

/ Sebastian
