Hi Folks--

i've repackaged silc-client to provide a debianized package for
version 1.0.3.

I'm providing the package online [0], in source form, and as a binary
built for the i386 architecture.  The sha1sums of the relevant files
should be:

 9c310d3950a006e6385d88f9f8757bdb679c5137  silc-client_1.0.3-1_i386.deb
 0714acfd051b09844fd2dcf5a9372ff604f0089b  silc-client_1.0.3-1.diff.gz

The packaging strategy i used was just to mimic the strategy from
1.0.1, and i detail that a bit closer on the published page, along
with my (serious) misgivings about it.

I'm interested in seeing silc actually adopted into debian, and am
willing to put in a bit of effort on it, but i think there's probably
a long way to go.  I also don't understand the (non-debian) build
process well enough yet, so it may take me a while (and i might need
some handholding) to get things into proper shape.  Feel free to read
my notes and make suggestions.

I don't know if Tamas Szerb is still on this list (or responding to
the e-mail address in the CC: above), but i'd be interested in talking
with him about his plans/preferences for silc (and the related
packages) in debian.

As always, feedback is welcome.

Regards,
