  Description : LaTeX package for writing Church Slavonic texts in HIP 
encoding

 HIPTeX is a LaTeX package for writing Church Slavonic texts in HIP
 encoding. HIP is a system to represent Church Slavonic text using the
 standard  Cyrillic alphabet and a small number of ASCII symbols. HIP
 was  developed as part of project Pechatnyj Dvor (Printing House)
 . 

 The package includes the hipfonts style, which allows inclusion of
 Church Slavonic text in an arbitrary LaTeX document, and the hipbook
 class, which provides book definitions corresponding to the
 liturgical book conventions of the Russian orthodox church.

Davide Puricelli and the chicken package

[Ivan Raikov]

Hello,

  The last version of Chicken Scheme packaged for Debian is 2.5, which
is very old, and there is a number of Chicken extensions that cannot
be compiled with it, which has led to numerous complaints by new users
of Chicken, who install the Debian or Ubuntu package without realizing
it is out-of-date. There have been several wishlist requests for
package update, without any result. I have emailed Davide Puricelli as
recently as April 24, and so far I have not received any response. I
have updated the Debian package scripts so that the latest version of
Chicken can be built, and I will be very happy to share them with any
interested Debian developers. Is there anyone on this list who wants
to take over the Chicken package? Thanks,

   -Ivan Raikov
