Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm working to create a debian package for keychain and include it on |
4 |
our unstable distribution. I'm just writing to know if that's ok with |
5 |
you guys (I hope it is :)). The package is ready and you guys can see it |
6 |
at http://www.kitiara.org/~mendoza/keychain/. |
7 |
|
8 |
Also I added two new options to it that I hope will be included on a new |
9 |
release of keychain. The options are: |
10 |
|
11 |
--nocolor : |
12 |
This option tells keychain to not use the Colorization |
13 |
features. |
14 |
|
15 |
--ext string : |
16 |
This option tells keychain to add the string |
17 |
string to the ~/.ssh-agent file. For example |
18 |
--ext txt would make keychain to create a file |
19 |
name ~/.ssh-agent.txt. This option is useful if |
20 |
your home directory is on nfs and you are login |
21 |
on different machines. That way you can have a |
22 |
different file depending on the system you are |
23 |
on. |
24 |
|
25 |
I decided to add an extension to the ~/.ssh-agent instead of getting |
26 |
the name from the user to avoid overwriting a key file if the user makes |
27 |
a mistake with the option. |
28 |
|
29 |
I included this options because I needed those to be able use keychain in |
30 |
the environment I'm working. |
31 |
|
32 |
Also the package includes a man page I created using docbook-to-man |
33 |
that I hope you guys will add to the distribution of keychain. |
34 |
|
35 |
I'm including the patch with includes all the changes I made to keychain |
36 |
and the files used to create the debian package. |
