[PATCH] gpg-agent: Enable socket activation

[Shea Levy]

Hi all,

I’ve attached a patch to enable the '--agent-fd' (and, similarly, '--ssh-agent-fd') flags to be used to specify a file descriptor to use as the agent listening socket. This allows service managers like launchd or systemd to enable on-demand activation of gpg-agent without potential races at initialization or termination time.

I’ve also attached an example launchd configuration and program that can be used with this patch to set up on-demand activation on OS X.

You can also pull the change directly from the 'socket-activate’ branch of git://github.com/shlevy/gnupg.git

Cheers,
Shea Levy
