#20051: gnupg2 2.0.11 Package shouldn't have libusb dependency
--------------------------------------------------------------+-------------
Reporter: speed.rob@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: gpg gnupg libusb scdaemon smartcard "smart card" | Port: gnupg2
--------------------------------------------------------------+-------------
Installing gnupg2 also installs the libusb package to support scadaemon,
which handles authentication via smart cards. As I doubt a sizable portion
of GPG users require this feature I propose it be disabled by default and
available as a variant.
If smartcard users ''do'' represent a large enough portion of the user
base, a no_scdaemon variant to remove the dependency should be available.
