Hi,

I'm working to create a debian package for keychain and include it on
our unstable distribution. I'm just writing to know if that's ok with
you guys (I hope it is :)). The package is ready and you guys can see it
at http://www.kitiara.org/~mendoza/keychain/.

Also I added two new options to it that I hope will be included on a new
release of keychain. The options are:

--nocolor : 
This  option  tells keychain to not use the Colorization
features.

--ext string :
This  option  tells  keychain  to add the string
string  to the  ~/.ssh-agent  file.  For  example
--ext  txt  would make keychain to create a file
name ~/.ssh-agent.txt. This option is useful if
your  home directory is on nfs and you are login
on different machines. That way you can  have  a
different  file  depending on the system you are
on.

I decided to add an extension to the ~/.ssh-agent instead of getting 
the name from the user to avoid overwriting a key file if the user makes 
a mistake with the option.

I included this options because I needed those to be able use keychain in 
the environment I'm working.

Also the package includes a man page I created using docbook-to-man 
that I hope you guys will add to the distribution of keychain.

I'm including the patch with includes all the changes I made to keychain 
and the files used to create the debian package.

Bye

Yes, adding a Debian package is fine; I've added --nocolor to keychain 1.3
(to be released) as well as a fix for the NFS issues.
