I think you are taking the "plugging my project" approach too far. While
generating exposure is definitely a good component of making your
project succesful, I think a bit more modesty is in order. If I had a
say in it: Just create your own threads (not too many please :), don't
mention your project in every thread where it has some common ground.
This is my personal opinion. I don't get to say what you do. But I feel
the need to express this opinion now.
Regarding your choice of words and also modesty, the answers to the
questions are not in your code. Your /opinions/ on the matter are in
your code. You do not get to decide what is truth, what is the answer.
Incidentally, the answer is 42, so you're late to the party... ;P

Wait, wait, wait... I sincerely hope you're not suggesting that the
first thing Daniel Pocock and others need to do is build a .deb package
for your project, that instead you meant this to read as "the first
thing /I/ should do is build a .deb package for egpg", so that they can
play with your code. I wouldn't even agree with the latter; but the
former is just... I hope you can pick your own adjective.
Cheers,
Peter.
