-%changelog
-* Wed Mar 20 2004 Enrique Perez-Terron <enrio@online.no>
-- Added mandir /man1/* to main file list
-- Added missing '/*' after includedir/fontconfig to avoid "listed twice" error.
-- Removed configure option --disable-docs since its problem is solved, see below.
-- Added option to makeinstall to have it install docs in the proper directory.
-  Notice though that the %doc macro deletes and recreates the docs directory.
-- Cleaner separation of devel docs.
-- Renamed doc/fontconfig-devel-*/fontconfig-devel subdirectory to 'html'.
-- Removed %doc macro from devel filelist, since it deletes installed files.
-
-* Fri Mar  7 2003 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 2.1.92-1
-- Removed man1/* and added man5/* to main package and man3/* to devel package
-- Added missing defattr(-, root, root) to main package
-- Added HTML and text development documentation to -devel subpackage
-
-* Wed Mar  5 2003 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com>
-- Added back the configure macro options --disable-docs because otherwise
-  fontconfig installs docs into /usr/share/doc/fontconfig (with no version
-  number) unconditionally, causing RPM to fail the build due to unpackaged
-  files terminate build
-
-* Wed Mar  5 2003 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com>
-- Removed commented out rpm macro define at top of spec file, replacing it with
-  a simple explanation, since rpm macros are expanded by rpm even in comments
-- Changed /usr/bin to _bindir in BuildRequires lines
-- Cleaned up rpm postinstall script, and made fc-cache use _bindir
-- Reorganized file manifest lists

-* Sun Mar  2 2003 Owen Taylor <otaylor@redhat.com>
