This is the Debian GNU prepackaged version of the FSF's GNU hello utility. This package provides the classic greeting to the users of Debian, as well as providing Debian's developers with an example of how to package a GNU program. GNU `hello' was written by Mike Haertel, David MacKenzie, Jan Brittenson, Charles Hannum, Roland McGrath, Noah Friedman, Karl Eichwalder, and The King. This package was first put together by Ian Jackson and it's currently maintained by Santiago Vila. The source for this release was taken from: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/hello/hello-2.9.tar.gz The changes were very minimal: - Adding support for the Debian package maintenance scheme, by adding various debian/* files.
