So, why isn't there a gpg-agent for Cygwin? Any hope of having one some
day?
I suspect simply because nobody has packaged one, and somebody has to do
the work to make it available. I doubt anyone would object to you
submitting an Intent To Package per https://cygwin.com/setup.html.
If that's the only reason, I could certainly look at packaging it. I guess I'd
like to hear from Marco first though, the gnupg maintainer, to tell us if there
isn't some other reason.
for what I know gpg-agent belongs to GnuPG > 2.0
while we have only the classic gnupg-1.4.19
If I remember right GnuPG > 2.0 requires memory protection
features that do not exist on cygwin.
But I could be wrong.

Marco
