For what it's worth: I've been concerned with the physical security of
the machines to which I have access, and I have followed a trend I had
heard of: a small (64 MB) USB storage device, on which I store my
private (and public too) keyrings, an entry in the appropriate
/etc/auto.removable file (autofs), and a symlink from
~/.gnupg/id_lolando to /mnt/auto/removable/usb-key/.../id_lolando.
Same for the public keyring, just in case.

  It works flawlessly, and it allows me to have my GnuPG private key
on exactly zero machine, only on this USB key thing (don't worry, I
also have backups).  I have recently added SSH to the same scheme.
Protects me from thieves, although not from trojaning.  I assessed the
risks :-)

  Oh, and also, when people see that black plastic thingy on my
keychain, I'm allowed to tell them that's my digital keys :-)

Roland.

PS: Total cost is ~ 30 EUR, an hour for the initial setup (including
errors), then 5 minutes for following setups on other machines.

An alternative would be to use files in /etc/texmf/texmf.d/. But I'd
prefer adding them at the appropriate places to $TEXMFMAIN,
i.e. /usr/share/texmf.

nautilus-media uploaded, Thanks to sponsor!

Hello,

nautilus-media has been finally uploaded to the Debian archive and is

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for sponsoring this package as well as to Emil
Soleyman-Zolaman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for doing most of the packaging
work!

Description: Multimedia goodies for Nautilus
 This package contains some multimedia extensions for Nautilus, the
 Gnome file mananger.

 - audio view: displays directory as audio tracks, plays them;
 - audio properties view: enhances the properties menu for audio

 - gst-thumbnail: thumbnails videos for nautilus

 Educational stuff for writing Nautilus views
 - test view a test view to learn from

NOTE: The latest unofficial packages had Debian revision numbers

There's nothing wrong with your first official package having a Debian
revision number > 1, you know.  You just have to be careful that your
upload includes the .orig.tar.gz (debuild -sa, in other words).

It doesn't count in this case, but occasionally I miss a revision
number between uploads. What happens with closed bugs in the 'lost'

They stay open, unless:
- you close them by hand (mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]), or
- you use the appropriate option for debuild/dpkg-buildpackage, which
includes several chunks of changelog in the .changes file, which will
then close the bugs.  Read the manpages, I don't know the syntax.
