gpkcs11 - Further development

Stuff that Sourceforge asked me to do:

1. A link to the projects group page on SourceForge.
Ok, gpkcs11 is a project to implement PKCS#11, a standard for accessing cryptographics tokens.

4.A link to the CVS web interface
This is here. The source code is the result of some month of fulltime work. So it is probably one of the few links here that are really worthwile. B-)
5.Some info about using CVS specific to your project.
Hmmmm..., well there is nothing special as of now. just get the stuff:
 export CVS_RSH=ssh 
 cvs -d @cvs.gpkcs11.sourceforge.net checkout gpkcs11
it might be worth mentioning that the actual code is in a subdirectory, so that multiple modules may be separated at a later stage, the first of which is this website.

Building the code

To create all parts of gpkcs11 you also need the following:

Further Infos
