With a bit more work today, visible here

  http://dev.laptop.org/git/bios-crypto/log/?h=delegation

things seem to be working quite well:

 - it generates non-delegated leases with 'sig02' signatures

 - it generates delegation signatures, can extend a delegation chain
piece per piece

 - can greate leases signed with a delegated key (following a chain of
signatures)

 -> all of the above leases test well with Scott's bitfrost.leases code too :-)

 - the shell commands have quite a few more options now

 - the scripts work correctly regardless of $CWD

 - we have an rpm that installs all the executables to
/usr/libexec/olpc-bios-crypto and symlinks all the end-user usable
binaries with an 'obc-' prefix in /usr/bin, so obc-<tab><tab> will
show you the relevant commands

 - `make install` from a src tree has the same effect as the rpm installation

Current RPM

http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xsrepos/testing/olpc/9/i386/olpc-bios-crypto-0.1.8.ga638582-1.xs9.i386.rpm

On the XS

  yum  --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing olpc-bios-crypto

cheers,
