Err, huh? If you look at http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten2/index.html, which is the roadmap for GnuPG 1.9, you'll notice in the graphic that OpenSC is slated to be used to interface with smart cards. So I'm not sure where you're getting this "drop this openssl-based stuff". Pinentry is out of the GnuPG 1.9 project, so we would be using their stuff. -- Eric Dorland <eric.dorland@mail.mcgill.ca> ICQ: #61138586, Jabber: hooty@jabber.com 1024D/16D970C6 097C 4861 9934 27A0 8E1C 2B0A 61E9 8ECF 16D9 70C6 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d- s++: a-- C+++ UL+++ P++ L++ E++ W++ N+ o K- w+ O?
