iec16022 version 0.1 in debian unstable
After more then a week in the debian new queue, it is finally arrived in sid.
A nice feature come with it, is that the debian buildd's try to compile the software on 12 archs. I never could try this alone. You can see a status here. Thanks to Jan Luebbe for maintaining this package in debian.

Native gui applications for ezx phones
Thanks to Sam Revitch i'm now able to build native gui applications for ezx phones. After same RE he has published an ezx-devkit. With this SDK and the ezx-crosstool, same author, i'm able to build his usbmode app from source.
One way to install such a program is to use the mpkg package format. It's really simple. Only a renamed tar.gz with some special files and icons. To produce an installable package for my A780, i have to be sure that the mpkg is a tar.gz not only tar. With this small patch, the produced mpkg work on my A780. I send the patch to Sam today.

Keysigning Policy available
I used my spare time after turn of the year to write down my keysigning policy. There also will be induvidual notations available for each key i signed after 2006-01-02. I hope with this step my keysigning practice will be more transparent in the future. To make the url available to the keyowner i used the cert-notation and cert-policy-url support of gpg. Therefor i add the following lines to my gpg.conf:
cert-policy-url http://www.datenfreihafen.org/~stefan/GPG-PGP/policy/ cert-notation DDF51665_stefan@datenfreihafen.org=http://www.datenfreihafen.org/~stefan/GPG-PGP/notations/%f.notes.ascThe next days i will write some scripts around caff to automate my keysigning process as much as possible.
