On Gentoo, things are built from source on the user's machine, customized the way they want, but with sensible defaults. Since most people aren't likely to need to statically link to CoolKey, they ought to be off by default and enabled with a USE flag (which in turn would set an option to pass to ./configure). I'll look into doing that. Because Gentoo is building from source anyway, I don't typically see -dev packages on Gentoo. It just occurred to me to try a USE flag for the nss install as well. As far as splitting libcoolkey and libckyapplet, I'll provide the feedback to the Gentoo developer and see what he wants to do.

The Gentoo developer thinks the package should be split in two, I took the approach of three, but since coolkey depends upon libckyapplet1, the common case will have both of those installed.

My packages skip the installer, mainly because I don't feel that I have enough clue about what it is doing. Also, I'd like to see an installer for CA certificates to avoid all the clicking around in the gui to get those set up. Let me chime in too, and say that I think "pk11install" seems too generic for me, and I'd probably change the name to "coolkey_pk11install", since that is more precisely what it does. Knowing how to install by hand has let me use coolkey with the Gnome Epiphany browser, too. Good luck, -Maitland = Rochester Big and Tall Clothing The official site of Rochester clothing.
