[Soc-coordination] Weekly report 8 - Debian android app

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey Pavlos,

You are making good progress!  It sounds like you are ready to put out your
first rough test builds, to work in a "release early, release often" style.
Just take the bin/Debandroid-debug.apk and put that somewhere where people can
download it.  Also, include a GPG signature and a hash so people can verify
their download.  To make a "detached signature" file in GPG that will be
called Debandroid-debug.apk.sig, do this:

$ gpg --detach-sign Debandroid-debug.apk

To generate a SHA1 hash signature, which is good enough for a test build, do this:

$ sha1sum Debandroid-debug.apk > Debandroid-debug.apk.sha1

Enjoy DebConf!  Its a very fun and engaging event.  It would definitely be
good to have any kind of test build ready for DebConf so you can give it to
people there.  I think you'll find a lot of people who will be willing to test it.
