Hello,
In GnuPG 2.3, scdaemon supports multiple devices. Naturally, people
would expect use of multiple devices with Scute. But it is not (yet)
supported.
This is a ticket for this experiment:
https://dev.gnupg.org/T6002
Now, we have t6002 branch in the repo of Scute. Still, there are many
things of FIXME, it starts working (at least, for me). I tested with
Firefox and Chromium.
For now, you need to install current master of GnuPG 2.3 to use t6002
branch of Scute.
In this experiment, my approach is:
- It's scdaemon which takes care of device removal.
- Scute does nothing for device removal/insertion. All devices are
marked as "present" even if it's not plugged-in to the host
computer.
- When a user asks signing, Scute simply relays the request to
gpg-agent, and if it's not available, gpg-agent prompts a user for
device insertion.
Please test, and give us your comments (by mailing list or dev.gnupg.org).
