I also noticed that the download section provides version 0.9.11 from Dec 2003. But the README file has a version 0.9.12 from Feb 2008 that is not available to download. > Then on OpenSC-project: > http://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/wiki/MuscleApplet > it says: > "OpenSC supports the Muscle applet, available from Debian SVN:" > svn co svn://svn.debian.org/muscleplugins/trunk/MCardApplet > > (This appears to be the same SVN as on the Muscle page, revision 298 > from 9 months ago.) > > "An updated version, targeting recent JavaCard 2.2.2 cards with > extended APDUs is available from github:" > http://github.com/martinpaljak/MuscleApplet > > This github is 3 years old, yet changes where made to the Muscle SVN > 9 months ago. > > > https://github.com/martinpaljak/MuscleApplet/blob/master/src/com/musclecard/CardEdge/CardEdge.java > (3 years old) > buffer[pos++] = (byte) 1; // Major Card Edge Protocol version n. > buffer[pos++] = (byte) 3; // Minor Card Edge Protocol version n. > buffer[pos++] = (byte) 0; // Major Applet version n. > buffer[pos++] = (byte) 9; // Minor Applet version n. > > Which is in line with the PROTO_VERSION_MAJOR the OpenSC code is looking for. > > Can Martin and Ludovic get together and get these versions in sync, > and make it so others don't download the 9 year old version? The MUSCLE applet needs a real maintainer. Any volunteer? It looks like the 2-years old Martin's version on github already includes the 9-months old fix from svn.debian.org. So the (unmaintained) version from http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/muscleplugins/trunk/MCardApplet/ could be removed and replaced by Martin's version. I propose to: - add a file DO_NOT_USE_ME.txt in the SVN repository to point the github version - remove the MCardApplet-0.9.11.tar.gz from https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=30111 - update the http://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/wiki/MuscleApplet (and github wiki version) page to point to Martin's github version Other ideas? -- Dr. Ludovic Rousseau _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list opensc-devel@lists.opensc-project.org http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
