[Fingerforce-devel] Bug#502138: fprintd: changing back from ITP to RFP

[Didier 'OdyX' Raboud]

Hi all,

Agreed.

I have spent some time packaging fprintd for Debian, with (late)
inspiration from David Jurenka's nice PPA packages [0]. This work can be
seen at [1].

Two patches are needed: one to put fprintd in /usr/sbin and the other
one to fix a pam-fprintd.so segfault on machines without fingerprint
reader (such as the virtual machine I was testing on).

[0] https://launchpad.net/~fingerprint/+archive/fprint
[1] http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/odyx-guest/fprintd.git

I plan to upload the above (after push of the packaging to collab-maint)
before the end of the week; I would of course welcome co-maintainers and
any comments.

Cheers,

OdyX
