Ticket #20051 (new enhancement)

gnupg2 2.0.11 Package shouldn't have libusb dependency

Reported by: speed.rob@… Owned by: macports-tickets@…
Priority: Normal Milestone:
Component: ports Version:
Keywords: gpg gnupg libusb scdaemon smartcard "smart card" Cc: boeyms@…
Port: gnupg2

Description

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.

libusb isn't exactly a large dependency (228K installed) and takes a short time to build...

A short time on modern machines, sure, but it's still unnecessary clutter.
