 %changelog
+* Mon May 20 2003 Donald Peterson <dpeterson@sigmaxi.org>
+- Override RPMs default of localstatedir to /var/lib..
+  This is done in accordance with GNOME and FHS compliance guidelines 
+  (http://fedora.mplug.org/docs/rpm-packaging-guidelines.html)
+- Use %find_lang macro to get NLS files
+- Set %doc tags on appropriate files
+- Remove temporary scrollkeeper-created files from install before packaging
+  to avoid rpm 4.1 complaints.  (These aren't needed in the distribution.)
+- Use default scrollkeeper-update scripts
 * Mon Mar 24 2003 Alex Roitman <shura@alex.neuro.umn.edu>
 - update scrollkeeper dependencies and add post and postun to enable install on a machine without scrollkeeper
 * Fri Jun 14 2002 Donald Peterson <dpeterso@engr.ors.edu>
