NetBSD: scdaemon should be killed when its parent (gpg-agent) is going to shutdown
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

In the master branch of GnuPG, selection preference by available card/token is implemented.
Because of this, some gpg operation causes invocation of scdaemon.
After gpg-agent shutdown, scdaemon remains with no parent on NetBSD.

$ gpg-agent --homedir=/some/where --daemon /bin/bash
$ gpg ...
$ exit
$ ps aux | grep scdaemon

I think that it's the kernel problem in NetBSD, where signal to self cannot result EINTR for pselect.
Well, something like rG031e3fa7b9a6: scd: Wake up the select when new USB scan. can be applied, I suppose.
Let's see for configure.ac and HAVE_PSELECT_EINTR.

HAVE_PSELECT_NO_EINTR is introduced for systems which pselect cannot be interrupted.
