Hi,

I am a debian developer, and I am going to package your utility into Debian archive.
Could you add changelog and make a new release with version 1.0(perhaps)?

Thanks.

SZ

Fork this project and upload your own release tag. Create a time-based git tag instead of release number. It will be more friendly to developers than a formal version number such as "1.x" / "2.x".
For example:
tag git20171120 and deb libtpm2-pk11_git20171120-1_amd64.deb

@liuqun Thanks for your reply.
Your suggestion can meet the demand by all means; however, "Upstream first" policy is important for open source, and thus "proprietary version" should be avoided unless special cases happened, e.g., upstream author is too busy for maintaining project.

If have no plans yet to release a first version. As before I release a version, I want at least to have implemented password support and added the functionality to import keys.

@irtimmer The package has been uploaded into Debian archive.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/tpm2-pk11

@szlin , I hope to merge your works into upstream git repo. Can you push your git repo onto github.com and create one pull-request to other developer?

I see your changes has been uploaded to debian.org:
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/tpm2-pk11.git

@liuqun We follow "upstream first" policy; hence the changes in Debian will be forwarded to here as a PR.

Now, Debian & Ubuntu developers may try:

sudo apt-get install tpm2-pk11
sudo apt-get build-dep tpm2-pk11
sudo apt-get source tpm2-pk11

Hope that the deb package could be updated with the recent changes of this project.

@liuqun Since tpm2-pk11 depends on tpm2-tss, I am co-working with the package maintainer of tpm2-tss for upgrading task.

@liuqun The new version of tpm2-pk11 has been uploaded after the tpm2-abrmd got accepted into Debian archive.
