| Hi everyone,
belgium releases the source code, a very nice chrismas present.
the opensc developers already had it for a few days and we could
take a look. we will merge most of the changes soon, but we are
considering a different approach on some issues.
the biggest issue is: belpic includes gtk code so it can do a gui
popup to ask for a pin. I'm not sure it is nice to link libopensc
with gtk. I'd rather prefer a mechanism where the application
registeres a callback function. maybe also make it possible to
specify a gui plugin in the config file that will be loaded
automaticaly and used as default callback.
so a full featured integration of all changes into opensc will take some
time. if you want to package belpic now with debian: I'm fine with
it. in half a year or so opensc can obsolete it, but till
then it might be the fastest solution to get belpic support
for everyone ready into debian.
a few comments:
package name should be belpic to be consistent.
(also because "eid" is generic, and other countries
have eid software, too).
license is LGPL (with a few files under bsd).
Regards, Andreas
