fso-gsm0710muxd is in NEW (tested on my GTA01).

While finalising the work on fso-frameworkd, I found that:


- the binary package still provides frameworkd, even if we renamed the
  source package back in August 2008 (before we went public)

    http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-fso/fso-frameworkd.git;a=commitdiff;h=5acfebfe3d2880b75d37f9fc2ebe91177845b23a

  My first impression was that we should stop doing that.  However, some
  places still refer to frameworkd alone (thus without the fso- prefix),
  like the primary configuration file (/etc/frameworkd.conf), the init
  script (Debian-specific) and the main binary (/usr/bin/frameworkd).


- the cli-framework and frameworkd binaries are installed in /usr/bin/.
  While I think that this is correct for the former (if connects to an
  already running frameworkd), I am not sure if the latter should be
  installed in /usr/sbin/ instead.  Note that even when frameworkd will
  be split into separate modules, some of them will still require
  administrator/specific rights:

In both cases, the simplest option would be to ignore the issues until
someone will complain: thus, if nothing happens before tomorrow evening,
I will upload fso-frameworkd to main :-)

I will put the freesmartphone.org Git repository as upstream URL and
also modify the init script, but the package will be uploaded to main
only after fso-frameworkd.

Thx, bye,
