Description Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-05-08 15:42:35 UTC 
Basically gnupg and opensc have openct USE flags. However, openct is used to enable smartcard support. However, there's a global use flag already called smartcard. Other apps out there use the smartcard USE flag to trigger openct's use.

gnupg and opensc really should switch to that USE flag..

[-    ] openct (app-crypt/gnupg):
build using dev-libs/openct compatibility

[-    ] openct (dev-libs/opensc):
build using dev-libs/openct compatibility

You got it worng.

smartcard USE flag suggest using smartcard.
openct and pcsc-lite USE flags suggest middleware to use.

Since opensc and gnupg communicate with smartcard directly, we need to know which middleware to merge.

So the current state is OK.
