out to create</a> earlier this month. Several valuable testers showed
up, and caused me to really want to to open up the development to more
people. But before I did this, I want to come up with a sensible name
To fetch and build the latest version of the source, use</p>
<pre>
-git clone git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/isenkram.git
-cd isenkram && git-buildpackage
+git clone http://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/isenkram.git
+cd isenkram && git-buildpackage -us -uc
</pre>
<p>I have not yet adjusted all files to use the new name yet. If you
stuff, in other words. I've been told it is the Norwegian variant of
the German word eisenkram, for those that are familiar with that
word.</p>

+<p><strong>Update 2013-01-26</strong>: Added -us -us to build

+<p><strong>Update 2013-01-27</strong>: Switch to HTTP URL for the git
+clone argument to avoid the need for authentication.</p>

+<a href="https://people.skolelinux.org/pere/blog/Lets_make_hardware_dongles_easier_to_use_in_Debian.html">improve
the Debian support for pluggable hardware devices</a>. Now my
prototype is working, and it is ready for a larger audience. To test
it, fetch the
notification, then the password request, and finally the request to
approve all the dependencies. Sorry for the Norwegian Bokmål GUI.</p>

<p>The prototype still need to be improved with longer timeouts, but
is already useful. The database of hardware to package mappings also
svn://svn.debian.org/debian-edu/trunk/src/hw-support-handler/; cd
hw-support-handler; debuild</tt>'. If you lack debuild, install the
devscripts package.</p>

+<p><strong>Update 2013-01-23 12:00</strong>: The project is now
+renamed to Isenkram and the source moved from the Debian Edu
+subversion repository to a Debian collab-maint git repository. See
