Hi,

I noticed you recently packaged our "wipe memory at shutdown" stuff as
a `wiperam' Debian package. Great! How about getting this even
further, and going through the next steps to be able to share this
code between our two projects?

One way to do it could be:

1. Prepare a proper Debian source package in a Git repo.
Core developers from our two projects could have write access
there, provided we decide on a suitable commit/merge workflow.

2. Decide where the binary package should live. Either we add
a dedicated APT suite for this package to the Tails APT repo, and
both Freepto and Tails could add the corresponding line to
sources.list (but then only Tails core developers would be able to
upload there). Or, each of our project could take care of hosting
their binary package, and we would "only" share maintenance of the
source package.

3. Test the binary package both in Tails (this requires a branch where
we replace our in-config-tree stuff with that package) and Freepto,
fix issues, rinse and repeat until satisfied.

4. Enjoy :)

What do you think?

Cheers,
