1 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.

38 Bye
