@ikloecker indeed we try only for 5 seconds:

FWIW, there is some code in gpa which uses the event counter. It was introduced with
rGPA936825b4b994cdf5900fc987abd9be7889989627

Please ask on the forum or a mailing list for help.

FWIW, we should eventually get rid of the pipe + socket style connection model. It is just to complex with no real benefit.

I see. Thanks for explaining. we can of course contact the gettext author (whom I happen to know).

FWIW, Andre had to introduce --use-first to fix another problem.

Fixed for all branches.

I assume by "do such things in the background" you mean that GnuPG should do this automatically in the background.

Support for NKS (Telesec NetKey card and Signature card v2, both based on TCOS) is very old and predates the support for multiple applications. They are also not as well separated as with Yubikey applications. Thus the auto switching between the NKS app and the SigG app.

The whole learn-card thing is more a hack than a solid way to make cards known. We should do such things in the background when a new card has been seen.

Thanks.

If 7z is used to create a tarball that tarball is then 7z compressed. At least this is how I understand the case.
When gpgtar now tries to extract the file it sees a 7z file and thus emits the octal number warnings because it assumes a tarball (after decryption by gpg).

While reviewing this task I noticed that I wrote adding a -p option. This is non-sense, because -p is to preserve permissions at extract time; this is unrelated to the last modification time. Standard tar extract files and set the modification to the one given in the tarball - unless you use -m to use the current time. Thus this task is actually a bug and not a feature request. For backward compatibility this will be done only for gnupg26 for now.

ALright, let's go with that latest version (rKLEOPATRAab32b52a6cf8)
