More than 2 weeks since i gave an update to -current development and things are going more interesting in -current branch. It stays up-to-date with latest changes upstream while keeping the stability standards high. Here's some highlight in the last two weeks:

Due to the changes in the gnupg2 package, some startup scripts might need a little tweak. It dropped some options, so you might need to look up your scripts. Also i found an annoying message about smart card detection every time you sign a file using gpg2. I have notified Patrick about this and send him upstream patch to supress those messages. Let's just wait for the decision.
