You're right, in gpgv, it appears you _can't_ suppress the default
keyring, ~/.gnupg/trustedkeys.gpg.  So either ensure that this file
does not exist, or set HOME or GNUPGHOME or --homedir to a location
where it will not exist.

What exactly does the package do? Does it download the current
upstream source and builds it for deployment?

What's the advantage of having this as a package in Debian? Can it be
used for something on a running Debian system?

Cheers,

Adrian

No. The source is included in the package. Similar to the
linux-source package.

In short:

The package is needed for developing TinyOS based applications for
small embedded devices as found in sensor networks.

A bit more descriptive:

TinyOS is not like a normal operating system. As mentioned in the
description it's intended to be used on very small devices.
Since these have very little memory/processing power a normal
operating system kernel (e.g. Linux) cannot be used on them.

The solution of TinyOS is having a very small operating system,
which is statically linked together with the user written software
into one big binary. This binary is then uploaded to the
microcontroller.

I did some development TinyOS during my graduate work and I think
packaging it for Debian is a great idea.  Having the source and other
tools packaged makes Debian more attractive as a development platform
for TinyOS developers, researchers, and students.  Or more to the point,
the convenience of having it packaged makes organizations that support
those users more likely to opt for Debian as a platform.  (When I was
working with it, it was relative chaos with some folks working under
Wine and the rest of team spread across different distributions,
everyone installing tinyos and the toolchain by hand.)

Thank you for considering packaging this for Debian.

A similar issue with libqt4-dbus is blocking upgrades of a desktop
installation from squeeze to wheezy the last two weeks (as detected by
jenkins.debian.net).  See http://bugs.debian.org/655382 > and
related BTS reports for the details.

I really hope we can get rid of the circular package dependencies. :)
