ikloecker added a comment to T5100: OpenPGP app overwrites Yubikey serial number.

Fixing --card-status is definitely a good idea. gpg-card shows almost the same information as gpg --card-status except that it shows the correct "Version" and "Serial number". It would probably make sense to unify the code of --card-status and gpg-card's list command.

(2) While the pipe connection is used by the user interaction above, from another terminal, the user invokes gpg (say, gpg --decrypt) which uses socket connection from gpg-agent to scdaemon

werner closed T5020: Exclude 3DES Cipher and SHA1 Digest as Resolved.

OpenPGP (RFC-4880) requires support for 3DES and SHA-1 thus you can't disable them. However, they are not used in practice because the key preference guarantee the use of more modern algorithms,

That patch fixes the build problem I got into today when trying to build 2.3 for windows. So ? from me and please commit the patch as it is already required when assuan and gpgrt config no longer emit ws2_32 in their pgk-config --libs line.

Linking $(NETLIB) is required when the executable uses WSAStartup.

gniibe triaged T4994: Windows: assuan_sock_init or WSAStartup by main/_init_common_subsystem as Normal priority.

I just learned that WSAStartup can be called multiple times. So, it doesn't cause any erroneous behavior which I had been afraid of.

Thanks for looking into this. However, I do not understand the problem behind it. Is it the need to link against the socket lib? 10 or 15 years ago things were more complicated because two TCP stacks were in use and you could use the modern one only if a certain service pack or Explorer version was installed. That might be the reasons for some of the peculiarities we have in the code.
