I have just checked the FSO-MS5.5 roadmap:

  http://trac.freesmartphone.org/milestone/milestone5.5

It shows 11 active tickets (3 blocker, 4 major and 3 minor) and during
the last month this number has been stable.  For this reason and also
because no one has expressed any big complain about uploading to main
the packages we have, I will upload fso-gsm0710muxd, fso-frameworkd and
fso-gpsd starting from tomorrow evening.

I prefer to list the freesmartphone.org Git repository, again if no one
complain before tomorrow I will do this modification and upload it.

I will also apply the following patch on most of the package'
debian/control files:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
- This package is part of the freesmartphone.org software stack and is targeted
- for smartphones.
+ This package is part of the freesmartphone.org software stack
+ and it is targeted for smartphones.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The only reason for the above is because it minimize changes WRT
non-freesmartphone.org packages, like yue-sounds-base or
xf86-video-glamo, which contain the following lines:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 This package is not part of the freesmartphone.org software stack,
 nevertheless it is targeted for smartphones.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is there any problem with that?  I know it is a cosmetic change...

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
