#46113: gpg-agent: enable SSH agent support with launchd integration

     Type:  defect             |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal             |  Milestone:
Component:  ports              |    Version:  2.3.3
 Keywords:  ssh agent launchd  |       Port:  gpg-agent
-------------------------------+--------------------------------
 Ticket #43584 introduces launchd support, but explicitly disables the SSH
 agent support. I'd like to petition to have this re-enabled.

 The use case for me is down to using an OpenPGP smart card for storing my
 GPG and SSH keys on. Only the gpg-agent with its SSH support is able to
 access the SSH key stored within. I'm perfectly happy to have to disable
 Apple's SSH agent to be able to do this, or even enable a special variant
 on the port to be able to do so, but this is a really important feature
 for me.

 In addition, un-commenting the options in the LaunchAgent to enable this
 allows launchd to create the socket, but just causes ssh to hang when
 trying to access it. That's really unfriendly.

 Thanks,
 Chris
