I've touched the topic in a private mailing but never got a reply. It would anyway cover either only static OpenSC.tokend or maybe libopensc+OpenSC.tokend. But until that happens, what, why and how should we put into our own installer? The reason for a custom OpenSSL was apparently DSO support, which is built into OpenSSL 0.9.8 on Snow Leopard => we have the option of dropping OpenSSL, IMHO. What do you think should be put into "SCB" (Maybe instead "OpenSC installer for OS X" ?)? On one hand, it could be as slim and clean as possible. On the other hand it could be a feature-rich package of ready to use applications bundled into it. For a OS X installer I would hope to see some end-user friendly stuff in it, meaning things with a GUI or things that patch only system components (like PKCS#11 and Tokend) for GUI applications. For a "way to install all the nice pieces of unix software if you're a unix guy" I would actually prefer to have a fink/macports solution. It could be compared with FUSE and MacFUSE and MacFUSE provides the SSHFS components (like SCB currently includes a custom SSH version) Cheers, -- Martin Paljak http://martin.paljak.pri.ee +372.515.6495 _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
