what I really meant was more along best practices for packaging or sometimes a 
push in the right direction :-). For the 3 packages I tried to follow the 
library guidelines in the developer-documentation and make lintian happy.

hmm, after seemingly endless meddling with dbus- and abyss conffiles I got the 
framework to comunicate with abyss and could make and receive  phone-calls 
with it. Problem is, I don't know if it will work out of the box tomorrow :-)
Also, my framework-snapshot (needed for abyss) from today seems to work with 
the current 2.6.28 kernel-package.

So, I wouldn't say prime-time but halfway there :-).

As for fso-gsm0711d vs. abyss: they conflict with each other as both use 
"org.freesmartphone.GSM.Mux" as sender and receiver in their dbus-configs.

Abyss needs its own config-file too (/etc/abyss.conf) where the for example the 
modem-device /dev/ttySAC0 is filed. Should fso-config-gtaXX provide this file?


Greetings
