Hi Andreas,

I certainly can maintain it, but can't promise compatibility to specific distributions. This means, an RPM might not work under an oldish version of Red Hat or Fedora etc...If that is OK with you all, I can continue the work from Ville and make a few compiles...

Concerning openssh, I'm not sure...I guess this should be left to distribution vendors maybe?

I'm all for adding rpm files to opensc web server, so it is easier for users
to get the latest and greatest version.

but: my knowledge ends with debian/ubuntu, and time too: building all
these debian/ubuntu packages and testing them took quite some time.

if anyone wants to step forward to maintain latest packages on opensc-project.org, that would be nice. I'd give you direct write access
to the web server so you can upload files etc.

I have little clue how to create a compatible RPM. udev is hell, it changed
so often, creating openct packages for older linux versions could be a bigger
issue.

also it would be nice to have openssh packages compiled with smart card support. I created those for debian and ubuntu: using their package with only adding "--with-opensc". well, at least for distributions that don't provide openssh with smart card support (debian and ubuntu unfortunatly).

Regards, Andreas
