Hum. Maybe, yeah? It looks like currently pcsc-lite is only pulled in by GnuPG on a default Fedora Workstation install. So ... if a user installed other packages like "yubikey-manager" or "web-eid", those pull in pcsc-lite - and in those cases, pulling in OpenPGP Card support for gnupg2 would make sense too. So you would use something like "Recommends: (gnupg2-scdaemon if pcsc-lite)" if I understand your question correctly? :) Fabio -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
